I would start by getting to I-81. You would be a better judge than I to do that from your area. If you wanted to stay on Interstate highways, you could take I-64.
After getting to I-81, here is a good route,
I-81 to I-84
I84 to I-691 to I-91 to get around Hartford, CT
There is a connector to get from I-91 back to I-84.
I think it is Connecticut 15. Regardless, it is marked with as the route to I-84 East.
I-84 to I-90. (I-90 is the Massachusetts Turnpike.
It is hard for us to get this close to Boston without spending some time in the area. But, to get around Boston and continue on to Maine
I-90 to I-290
I-290 to I-495
I-495 to I-95
Take connector to I-295 (toward Freeport)
I-295 to I-95
I-95 to I-395 East
I-395 to US 1A East
US 1A to US 1 Alt
You are leaving Bangor, ME. There are a few turns left. Hopefully you will be using a GPS.
There are other routes that you could be taking. For example, we will usually stop at Boothbay Harbor for a couple of days
Have a great trip.
