We are going in 2 weeks and your vid helped us plan, thank you! I am in love with you both. You are so fun-loving and have set the mood for our fun vaca in that part of our beautiful world. We can't wait to have what you had! Many thanks.
After watching your hiking section of this video for getting to Cadillac Mountain, we think we will be driving up at sunrise - heard that is a great thing to do.
"Acadian" is the name for the kind of French they speak in New Brunswick, and points east, including parts of Maine. It is quite different from the French they speak in Quebec! When the French were kicked out, they went to Louisiana, and "Acadian" became "Cajun."
Yup, Maine was originally part of New France, named after one of the old Northern Provinces of France... in fact, part of my Great Great Grandfather's former farm in Bellechasse Quebeq, is now in Maine (Thanks to the moving of the border after the Russ-Baggot treaty, when once again, Britain threw Canada under the bus)
If you get a chance. Sebago Lake is a very nice area. I know it is possible that you might on to the next city once you receive this comment. Enjoying your channel and your travels.
We were in Maine in May and it was a pretty good time we felt to be there. Nothing was overly busy. But it was still a bit cold. We've never been in Maine any other time of year, so it's hard to feel like we're experts. :)
Will be here July 7th & 8th. Important question, Fogtown Brewery, what is the name of the sparkling Apple wine and the pizza with corn. My wife is interested in both, lol, and she isn’t easy to please, ha ha. Thanks for a great video! R, Cecil
Chris, You're a great guy to carry the backpak, but you should plan to bring a second back pack for Melissa to use for her clothes next time. You were really huffin and puffin on that hike!
No. There also didn't appear to be any official post for checking that kind of stuff. My guess is that sometimes, there's probably a ranger out and about and they may just ask you for your pass.
As far as I know, no one ever checks it. Update: your park pass is for your car only. You don’t need it when you’re hiking, and you can access the park without a car.
Here's a list of the 13 places we visited: chrisplusmelissa.com/48-hours-of-fun-in-and-around-acadia-national-park-planned/

I agree there is nothing better than a well planned trip

We've found that by harnessing our inner chipmunk, we save a ton of time! :D
Great video we are going may 14-18th 2024 thanks for all the reviews 👍👍
wow so good tips
The land bridge... I wish I were there too! (Even though the Stephen King comparison sounded eerily spooky.) ;)

Interesting stuff.

Great video, good info!
Glad it was helpful!
You guys are very cute! And useful info too!
Thanks so much! 😊
Love the Poutine t-shirt!
Loved this video. Thank you. We plan on visiting this August. Maybe we will be able to see some whales.
Thank you! We'll cross our fingers for you. :D

We missed seeing that area. :( This world is simply too big!
Love the Grouse ball cap! Did you do the Grouse Grind when you were in North Van?
We did it when we lived in Yaletown in 2020/21. It was tough but fun.
@@chrisplusmelissa When I was much younger and in a lot better shape I once did it in 42mins.
@@lovey1973 It's so hard to be in better shape and it's really hard to be younger.
What time of year do you recommend going to coastal Maine?
We were in Maine in May and it was a pretty good time we felt to be there. Nothing was overly busy. But it was still a bit cold. We've never been in Maine any other time of year, so it's hard to feel like we're experts. :)

Melissa's blog post has all the detailed info I do believe: chrisplusmelissa.com/48-hours-of-fun-in-and-around-acadia-national-park-planned/
Idyllic spot you landed in. Easy lifestyle and good food. I think that area is subject to a lot of snow come winter.
We've enjoyed it much!
I wouldn't say the North Ridge Trail is an "easy" hike.
Agreed! :)
Chris, You're a great guy to carry the backpak, but you should plan to bring a second back pack for Melissa to use for her clothes next time. You were really huffin and puffin on that hike!
What I need to do is get in shape!! :D
When exactly did y’all go?
We went in May of 2022.
Yeah....a little bit of thunder with some girly screams!
Did they ask to see your park pass in order to let you onto Bar Island?
No. There also didn't appear to be any official post for checking that kind of stuff. My guess is that sometimes, there's probably a ranger out and about and they may just ask you for your pass.

Why in the world would you eat pizza while in Bar Harbor?
We were staying in Ellsworth and had heard about Fogtown Brewery's pizza. The video explains it all. :)
