New England (vacation) question.

I want to start planning my vacation today. I am going to New England, but there are a lot of places that are possibilities for this vacation.

I looked for hotels in Mystic, CT, but didn't find much of anything. And I only looked for there because mother suggested it.

I'd rather go up to Maine. Somewhere that is just laid back-relaxed, and maybe offers transportation to Canada for a day trip. And near the ocean, ofcourse.

What places would you suggest?

Here's what I've found: http://www.google.com/maps?hl=en&hs=eio&lr=&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&q=hotels&near=Mystic,+CT&sa=X&oi=local&ct=title

If you do go to Mystic, there's Mystic Aquarium (haven't been there in months), Old Mystic Village (was there a few weeks ago), Mystic Seaport, and it's close to other tourist attractions. Foxwoods is roughly about 20 minutes away from the Mystic Aquarium and Old Mystic Village, Mohegan Sun isn't too much farther (timewise), the Groton Sub Base is close by as well (don't know what their policy on tours are, though), and the submarine museum is close by.

I live about 10 minutes from Mystic, so if you have any questions about the area, let me know, and I'll answer them the best that I can.

Bar Harbor, Maine.


I second that. Bar Harbor/ Acadia National Park is beautiful, and now is the best time to come (well, as soon as it stops raining up here.) Plus it's near the best person on all of NS! :D Alternately, you could go further downstate to Kennebunk.
