The Noreaster is the Amtrak train which does not stop in Portsmouth but does stop in Wells which is northeast of Kittery. A cab ride from Wells is about 15-20 miles away.
So your bus drops you off in Kittery. I'm trying to see how we can help you get to LL Bean. If you could rent a car, you can visit the lighthouses and coast of southern Maine on your way to LL Bean. Bean is always open. The land is stunning and you won't see any of it at the outlets. Maybe you can take a taxi to the nearest car rental agency. It will be worth it.

Yup, big difference.
Otherwise you're going to be spending a lot of time walking among all the different outlet malls in Kittery, and if you make a lot of purchases, that's going to be next to impossible.
To add to
Blumie's advice, the Kittery outlets are along Route 1----maybe a few miles long on both sides of the heavily trafficked road. It's a lot of walking and there really aren't sidewalks between the various outlets.
