Location: Bar Harbor, Maine- Acadia National Park-Top of Cadillac Mountain

Whether the need is to relax or embrace sweat inducing activities, a vacation in Bar Harbor, Maine offers it all. Home to Acadia National Park, visitors may choose from quiet, out of the way walking trails-to sailing the bay-to climbing Cadillac Mountain. No matter what the urge, visitors are assured of undeniable beauty, fresh air and mind-clearing peace.

Situated on Frenchman Bay, we were blessed with- "pinch-me" -accommodations of the Regency Holiday Inn resort, where we discovered tennis courts, fine dining, heated pools and sensational service. Bar Harbor's quaint village was only minutes away via the resort's complimentary shuttle bus. Shopping in the village was a wallet's worst nightmare, as the options for spending were endless. From wild and crazy moose and lobster gifts to "would-kill-for" apparel, Bar Harbor lured the cash from your pocket in exchange for some of the most incredible products.  Restaurants teased the senses with silky lobster bisque and chowders, with one eatery, Testa's, offering a tasty blueberry iced tea. Delish! In spite of our over indulgence, we discovered that we spent far less than we thought, easing any vacation remorse, making it the perfect vacation.
