    One day in Mystic, CT–Acadia Loop trip

    We were in Mystic in May 2019 during our loop trip to Acadia NP. Connecticut was Bugsy’s 41st state! We were all very excited about that. And it was the Airstream’s 40th, but the Airstream cares less than Bugsy does about that sort of thing. At this point in the trip we were just hightailing…

    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…

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.

  • Five days in Bar Harbor, Maine–Acadia Loop trip

    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…

    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,…
