Syracuse NY to Acadia National Park
Need some suggestions. From Syracuse we'll get ourselves over to the Eastern seaboard say starting around Hampton or Portsmouth. Then we'll travel up the 103 to the 1 to the 9 thru Kennbunkport and ...

Kennebunkport is a lovely visit, but don't try to take a motor home of any size in there. Bad enough in a car. Ogunquit is even worse.
Stops along the way: Freeport has great parking even for big rigs if you're into shopping. Home of L L Bean. Lots in Portland, but parking is a pain. Maine Maritime Museum in Bath. Botanical Gardens in Boothbay. Penobscot Maritime Museum in Searsport. Get off US Route 1 for the little towns.
Eats: Maine Diner in Wells, Becky's Diner in Portland, Gilbert's in Portland, Red's in Wiscasset, Moody's Diner in Waldoboro -- no tablecloths in any of them, but some of the best food, though parking can be a pain. Fancier (touristier) Dimillo's in Portland, Taste of Maine in Woolwich, anything in downtown Rockland or Camden. A number of artsy places in Portland with higher prices and less food. Royal River Grille in Yarmouth is good though a simple dinner for two is $100+ and much more if you're into the wines.
