How not to visit MAINE: Portland, Bar Harbor, and not enough time - Traveling Robert

Lessons learned about how not to visit a large state like Maine. First we didn't allocate nearly enough time. Second, it was foggy when we went to see the first sunrise in the USA. Third, campground screwed up our reservation. At that point I gave up and decided to go back some other time. Lobster breakfast in Bar Harbor was great.

  • @scotta4726
    Hey it still a nice way to start off the day. Now hot breakfast
  • Robert I came cross your show by accident’ and fell in love with it’ & you “ now where ever you go “ I am there with you ‘ you are a very nice person’ thought you were riding through New Mexico’ but that was some other guy’ he didn’t didn’t talk very much so I had no idea what was going or where he was “ so i turned to your show ‘ you are the best’ thank you for such a wonderful show 💖💕🚐

    Crossing from New Hampshire into Maine the scenic route is to exit to US1. Historic York and it’s beaches with a rocky coastline mixed in. The “Hubble ”, Ogunquit, Wells, Kennebunkport all before arriving in Portland. Might want to drive up to Boothbay and Rockport home of LL Bean. A much easier drive than rolling at 75 on the Maine Turnpike just to rush up to Bar Harbor.
  • @scothorne8448
    Gooooood morning Robert. Thank you for your new video. Your "do's" and "don'ts" in your videos are helpful. Keep the videos coming my friend; we enjoy them immensely. Congratulations on your new pickup truck, the Colorado. Fly pelican fly!
  • My wife and I flew up from Indiana.....stayed a few days in "Bah Habah"...then down to OOB....I LOVE THIS STATE....EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING!!!!!
  • @startrekfangirl
    Please don’t be offended when I say this, your voice sounds like one of those modern mystery show and your giving us details leading up to telling us who really did it 🤣 I like your voice though!!! 🤗
