One night in Portland, Maine–Acadia Loop trip
We were in Portland in May 2019, as part of our Acadia trip. Read about our second, more productive visit in 2022 here! We didn’t plan to stop in Portland when planning this trip. Yes, it’s a cool town with a great beer scene, but we’d been there before (although it was many moons ago…

Trip planning: Asheville NC and Fayetteville WV
This planning post was for a trip to Asheville and Fayetteville in September 2019. …but our ultimate destination isn’t either of those places. It’s our Airstream’s old home Misty Mountain Camp Resort in Crozet, VA, for the Misty Mountain Music Festival, a weekend of Virginia performers and local food, beer, and crafts. This will be…

Two days in Camden, Maine–Acadia Loop trip
We visited Camden in May 2019 during our Acadia National Park trip. Campground After leaving Bar Harbor, we wanted to explore Central Maine’s coast, so we spent two nights at Megunticook Campground near the towns of Camden, Rockport, and Rockland. It’s a super friendly park, with a sweet doggy in the office and lots of space…

Acadia National Park
We visited Acadia in May 2019 as part of this loop trip to Maine. Just outside the quaint seaside town of Bar Harbor, Maine, a five-hour drive north of Boston, sits the exquisite seaside jumble of rocks known as Acadia National Park. We took the Airstream up to Bar Harbor in mid-May for our first…

Five days in Bar Harbor, Maine–Acadia Loop trip
We visited Bar Harbor in May 2019 during our Acadia NP trip. Dragging the Airstream down narrow, low-clearance, steephilly New England roads was completely worth it: Bar Harbor, and specifically Acadia National Park, is a spectacular vacation destination. We ate an absurd number of lobster rolls, drank as much local beer as we could get…

Two days in Beverly, MA–Acadia Loop trip
We visited Beverly in May 2019 during our Acadia National Park trip. We love the Boston area: we lived in Charlestown for two years in the Aughts and try to visit J’s mom just north of Boston often. Taking the Airstream to Beverly, though… let’s just say we learned an important lesson. Airstreaming in New…

One night in Hershey, PA–Acadia Loop trip
We visited Hershey in May 2019, as part of our trip to Acadia National Park. Our first real target destination on our road trip to Acadia was J’s mom’s house in Beverly, MA, but we didn’t want to do the drive from VA to MA with the Airstream all in one day. Hershey, PA sits…

Tarantulas!
All through my formative years, my aunt and uncle had a pet tarantula. A strange choice of pet, no doubt, but Uncle Jim loves the Desert Southwest more than just about anyone else I know, so I guess it made an odd sort of sense. My first tarantula-cousin was a male named Fred who came…

Catch-up: we took the Airstream to Maine–Acadia Loop trip
We visited Maine in May 2019. It took me 7 months to finish writing about Big Trip #2; hopefully I’ll be quicker to write about our next, much shorter trip. In May, we took the Airstream up to Acadia National Park in Maine! I wrote about our general plans early in the researching process here,…

Big Trip #2 was in Fall of 2018; you should also read about Big Trip #1 in 2016, Big Trip #3 in 2020, and Big Trip #4 in 2022! Our final stop on Big Trip #2 was Asheville for one night, but I already listed our activities there on the Big Trip #2 Catch-up post,…
