About this blog

Marnie and Paul are a retired couple living in Arrowsic, Maine. We have enjoyed brief visits to various parts of the state, and our enthusiasm for these visits led friends to suggest we "write them up." So here are some very short descriptions of where we've been and what we did there, along with links to web sites where appropriate. We hope readers will comment on these places and add their own impressions and suggestions.
The places we visited are not listed in any special order.

Searsport

Having driven by it for years, we decided to stay for a night at the Captain A.V. Nickels Inn, a huge old sea captain's house that is being rehabilitated as a B&B. Because of Internet problems, the owner did not expect us, but put us in a third-floor suite, very elegant, with a large terrace overlooking Penobscot Bay. Two highlights of the trip: first, we drove via Rt. 218 from Wiscasset (then 17, then 131 to 3 to Belfast), which provided a gorgeous slice of Maine and no summer traffic. Second, we had dinner at the Mermaid, in the B&B next door. It was one of our best meals ever on the road.

Christmas Cove

In late March we responded to an add offering a night at the Christmas Cove Inn (also known as the Unique Yankee B&B) for $99, with a $25 gift certificate to the Samoset Restaurant in New Harbor (25 min away). Absolutely nothing is happening in Christmas Cove in March. On the other hand, the Inn itself was wonderful: opulent, new, beautifully designed. It is run by a very interesting couple, and is a great place for pets. Wonderful breakfast. Not many walks right there in winter, but driving around is fun.
