I did absolutely nothing and it was everything I thought it could be.

I planned a trip a few years ago and never took it.

If you're driving, consider the overnight ferry from Portland, ME to Yarmouth, NS, then a week or ten days to do a counterclockwise loop, including a day or two in Haifax and be sure to include Cape Breton Highlands National Park. You should also try to include Lunenburg, a UNSECO World Heritage site.

On my itinerary I would have ridden the CAT high-speed catamaran ferry from Yarmouth to Bar Harbor, Maine.

Day 2: Complete drive to Portland
Day 3: Sightsee in Portland, board ferry to NS
Day 4: Sightsee in Yarmouth, NS; stay in Yarmouth.
Day 5: Lunenburg, NS
Day 6: Halifax
Day 7: Open (en route to Cape Breton)
Day 8: Cape Breton Island & Cabot Trail
Day 9: Wolfville?
Day 10: Yarmouth?
Day 11: CAT Ferry to Bar Harbor, ME.
Day 12: Bar Harbor or Camden, ME
Day 13: Bar Harbor or Camden or Boothbay
Day 14: Halfway Home
Day 15: Home

If I didn't want to do that much driving, is there two or three places that I could make my home base for exploring?
