Summer trip: Boston & a couple Maine locations vs Seattle & Portland (revised)
Posted on 3/28/16 at 1:44 pm
Posted on 3/28/16 at 1:44 pm
Revision: Looking to fly to Boston and stay a few nights then head north and stay a day or two in 2 or 3 towns in Maine along the coast
or
Fly to Seattle\Portland, stay few days, drive to the next city and stay a few days then fly out
Any suggestions on which trip would offer more especially in the food category?

I've been to Boston and Seattle (although Seattle was only for 2 days during LSU game) I prefer Boston as I feel there is more to do with the history of the city. I can't speak for the secondary city of each though.

Well obviously Portland is miles better than Providence

what part of the summer?
if its early summer, don't do the PNW as it will probably still be grey and wet
if its July/August, then definitely do the PNW
and if you do east coast, skip Providence and do Boston and Portland, ME

Boston is great...I would skip Providence and either go to Cape Cod or just ride up to Maine (Portland/Bar Harbor)
If you really want to go to Rhode Island then visit Mystic (tiny classic NE town) and Newport

I suggest going somewhere else besides providence. I liked the other Portland (Maine) a lot and there is some great stuff on the coast as you head that way. Drive is shorter than Seattle to Portland and could also look at surrounding states too. Love both areas so you can't go wrong with either choice.

I'd take Seattle and Portland

I prefer outdoor activities like climbing and biking so Seattle and Portland setup better for me personally
Posted on 3/28/16 at 1:53 pm to LSUvegasbombed
How about gatlinburg and pigeon forge?

I've never been to Boston, but Seattle and Portland are both great cities with a ton to offer. Both have very good food and drink scenes also

Bar harbor is a bit of a drive from boston but it is also awesome. Second that depending on time.
Posted on 3/28/16 at 1:54 pm to LSUvegasbombed
just depends on what you want then
if you are more outdoor oriented, definitely PNW
if you like more history type stuff, east coast
you can find top notch food in either locations FWIW

I'll be around Portland/Bend then. WSMFP plays two nights in Bend on the 2nd and 3rd, and we will be camping and riding the McKenzie River trail. You're welcome to join the fun

basically its a east coast vs west coast trip
It doesnt have to be providence... i could fly into Boston and head north
However if I go WC, then I think it would be awesome to fly to Seattle and drive to Portland or vice versa

In May I'm going to Boston for a few days then driving up the Maine coast to fly out of Portland.

this wont be about partying or anything so I want to pick something for the SO to enjoy especially having great places to eat.
I thought Providence was a great destination according to the internet
I would prefer NW but I know she wants to go to Boston
