T his year, travel is more appreciated and anticipated than ever before and it’s helped us realize that it’s an essential element of human happiness. Travel allows us to step back and take a deep breath from our daily stresses, and to explore other cultures, eat local food, see new sites, and truly experience the way people live their day-to-day lives in different parts of the world. And while there’s so much about the world available online, nothing compares to experiencing a place for yourself. Creating lifetime memories together offers families and loved ones new levels of appreciation that last a lifetime. We encourage you to experience what makes our region so unlike other destinations, and makes each person’s visit uniquelyMaine. We look forward to helping you bring your family together—through travel!
