Stroll the cobblestone streets of one of America's most historic cities, home to such patriots as Paul Revere, Ben Franklin, and Drew Bledsoe. Discover a living museum where almost four centuries of American history can be traced. When it comes to variety, see why Boston is called the Hub. Nightclubs and theaters, the North End and Chinatown, Fenway Park and Boston Common can all be found here.
Portland has a thriving waterfront in the heart of downtown that is a hodgepodge of condos, fish markets, and ferry docks. Bordered by Maine's rocky coast to the north, and miles of white, sandy beaches to the south, the city offers hiking, sailing, kayaking, snorkeling, and fishing, and to the west and north lies some of the best skiing in the world. This is Maine, "the way life should be".

Corner Brook is located on the southern shore of the Bay of Islands, a long inlet on the island of Newfoundland. The greater area is made up of hilly lowlands surrounded by the Long Range Mountains, an extension of the Appalachian Ridge. The valley was created by a retreating glacier at the end of the last ice age and allows for great views of the bay.
Designated a National Historic Site, Red Bay is a fascinating portal into the world of 16th-century Canada. With its fertile waters and sheltered harbor, Red Bay once proved a perfect site for European whaling fleets. Travelers can visit the Whalers Cemetery, and judge for themselves whether the ghosts of Red Bay's colorful--and often tragic--whaling past really do haunt the area as reported.
