[Chrysler300] Traveling to Maine

[Doug Mayer <mobydoug@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Club Members,

The question came from a member on the other (left) coast, asking how  
to get to Boothbay Harbor.  It would be cheesy to suggest that he  
simply come east.  And of course the Maine answer is: you can't get  
thea from heah!  but--read on.

Flying:

Major airlines fly to Boston Logan Airport, to Manchester, NH, and to  
the Portland (ME) Jetport.

Southwest only flies to Manchester, so if you are a Southwest flier,  
that will be your airport destination.

I used the Boothbay Harbor Chamber of Commerce website to discover  
how to get from each of these airports to the motel.  Mapquest claims  
that it is a:
162 mile, 3 hour and 17 minute drive from Logan in Boston;
156 mile, 3 hour and 5 minute drive from Manchester;
  62 mile, 1 hour and 30 minute drive from the Portland Jetport.
I think the estimates are pretty good.

By Train:

This is a delightful mode of transportation, since you can drink and  
drive simultaneously.  You can also walk around, without having to  
stop at a noisy rest stop every hour. Train ridership is up, and it  
is possible to get all the way to Portland on an Amtrak train.  Any  
train to Maine will come to South Station, Boston and leave from  
North Station, Boston to Portland.

By Automobile:

Pretty much everybody will come from south and west.  Ultimately, if  
traveling by Interstate, you will wind up on I 95 north of  
Massachusetts.  Both Bill and I know ways across New England that  
avoid the Interstates, and are interesting.  (Of course, they take  
longer.)  If you are interested in an excursion off the interstate  
system, please ask one of us.  Anybody coming from the north or east,  
who doesn't know the way--call us.
