Boston, MA
Known as "the Hub" since its pre-revolutionary days as "the Hub of Civilization," Boston is still an exciting, vibrant city. Home to some of the world's greatest universities and colleges, there is always something happening there.
Bar Harbor, ME
Charming cobblestone streets and quaint storefronts make Bar Harbor a delightful New England vacation destination. But it's what's just down the road that makes it truly unique. Acadia National Park, just a short drive from downtown Bar Harbor, is a triumph of the Parks System Conservative Program and offers a spectacular display of nature at its finest. Rocky cliffs and jagged coastline open to beautiful ocean views and stony beaches, perfect for a mouthwatering traditional Maine lobster bake.
Portland, ME
Portland is the largest city in Maine and considered the business, financial and retail capital of the state. You will find a mix of urban liveliness and historic architecture blending the seascapes and cityscapes seamlessly. Enjoy the waterfront views of Casco Bay or take in the charming ambience of the Old Port section of Portland, with its restored buildings and cobblestone streets.
Eastern Canada
From the bustling excitement of Halifax to the quaint, quiet pace of Saint John's, North America's oldest city, eastern Canada is a large and varied region. Echoes of Europe are visible in its charming streets and architecture. And nature is an essential part of everyday life, with hiking, white-water rafting and kayaking giving people ample opportunity to explore. |
