I am back from my trip to Maine, and it was a wonderful time. It was the perfect thing for me. I watched whales, went to the top of a mountain, took a boat to a tiny island for a picnic lunch, and generally soaked in the beautiful scenery and tranquility for a few days. I was away from Internet the whole time and didn't miss it. I was fine on the plane and getting where I needed to go, and I was even quite social within my little group. It was unforgettable, and now that I've done it, I have the travel bug and I must do more.
It was suggested to me to visit all the national parks. Maybe that is what I will do.
