re: High points to visit in Maine & New Hampshire?

Kennebunkport is nice. Make sure you drive to the beach and get out and walk around. The town is nice as well. The guy who owns the "hot sauce" store on the Main Street in town lived in Baton Rouge for a while, nice guy.

We went to the lobster shack for lobster rolls. Really cool set up and you can eat on the rocks by the ocean. Really pricey though.

Portland is cool. Did the Shipyard "brewery tour". Not really a tour, you watch a movie then drink free beer.

Whatever you do, if you decide took through Massachusetts, don't go to Salem-it's a tourist trap!
