Hi Julien,
 Yes, we spend a lot of time in North Georgia and West North Carolina. We visited Lake Michigan and Wisconsin last summer too. 
 
 We're thinking of flying into Bangor, renting a car, and then just doing it for a change of pace and curiosity. Hoping to do the NW Pacific coast the next year.
 
 So if anyone is reading... I am eager to learn about Maine. A cottage near Acadia seems great... especially something close to a great breakfast diner. We'd also like to go a little further Down East so we're looking for places to consider up there too.
 
 all the best,
mike

Vermont and New Hampshire are pretty nice places. Then there's always Cape Cod......
(granted that was a long time ago for me)
Pick a lake and book a cabin. Don't know bout the miskeeters though.

Nantucket is nice. I lived there for a year. Absolutely stunning scenery and beaches and some of the nicest sunsets in the north east. Plus there's always a nice breeze. Can't recommend it enough.

My wife went to Maine about 20 years ago when she had to visit Boston for some class. A short drive it seems. She said they have lobster resturants there like we have fried chicken resturants... and they are cheap but don't expect iced tea.. they do not serve it there. In Ontario if you order french fries you don't get ketchup, you get vinegar... which is really good!

If you order "french fries" in Britain, you get ketchup AND vinegar AND curry sauce. 

If you order "french fries" in Britain, they'll look at you funny.  Once you describe what you want, then you'll get crisps often with HP Sauce and malt vinegar.

And gravy.
 
Don't forget the gravy.

I'm gonna order some Lobster Bisque and Gravy.
 
Hold the Lobster.
 
I like Bisques and Gravy.

You could go to a McDonald's and order a McLobster sandwich too.

Subway's Seafood™ always seems a day or too fresher.
 
I think they may be in good with Charlie.
