Hey Orlagh, Great video series on the East Coast! We are heading to Boston in May, I was going to ask you if have done a trip from Boston to White Mountains (and the Auto road) and if you'd recommend Boston to Bar Harbour/Acadia over this. Just trying to decide as we have 10 days there. And if you think it's worth staying in Ptown for 2 days and what you think the drive from Bar Harbor to there would be like in 1 day? Many thanks
Hey Andy, thanks so much for the kind words! I haven't done the White Mountains road trip I'm afraid, but can for sure give you advice on the places you've mentioned. Looking at the two trips, I'd probably go for the Boston to Bar Harbor route as you'll pass through more towns/touristy places along the coast and there looks to be more places to stop at versus the White Mountains. We only spent a few hours in P'town and I think one night/one full day would be enough. We didn't get to go to Martha's Vineyard/Nantucket, but if you're in the area (around P'town) I'd recommend hopping over as I wish we'd had time to visit. I think as well a lot of the coastal/tourist areas can be quite seasonal and will be fully open in the summer/after Memorial Day so I would double-check dates-wise just to make sure it's not a wasted journey. Bar Harbor to P'town is definitely do-able in one day (around 7 hours of driving) but when we did the reverse of this, we stopped at Boston for two days, and spent a night in Portland before making it to Bar Harbor to break the trip up. You could perhaps leave P'town early in the morning, drive 4 hours to Portland, grab lunch and check out the town and then drive the remaining 4 hours to Bar Harbor to get there by the evening. Just an idea! Let me know if you have any other questions or if I can be of any more help at all! We also have an East Coast Road Trip Guide that might be useful too for planning: pensight.com/x/orlaghclaire/digital-item-a601d701-4cc5-419d-81c7-4e7a2cef5ccc
