Acadia Park would be at the top of my list.

There are some great biking trips in New England, if that interests you.

I'm a foodie, so my trip would include some of the best regional foods.

Two sites I use for road trips are roadfood.com and roadsideamerica.com.

The first will help you find great eats and the second will take you to some of the more bizarre sites in the area.

I use the Magellan GPS and put "avoid freeways" on. That will take you from point to point on back roads, my favorite way to travel.

Lastly, I always try to go "no chains" - that is no chain restaurants or motels or stores. Hard to avoid chain gas stations, but everything else is easy.

Have a great trip!!
