when we did our honey moon trip so many yrs ago, we went up the coast and then to Bar Harbor...from there we went up to northern Maine near Greeley and then up to Quebec....
from Quebec, down into New Hampshire and then thru to Vermont and visited Stowe and ate at the restaurant run at that time by the family in the Sound of Music....
I live in the west and I enjoy the west, but upstate NY and New England are wonderful slow paced areas with lots to see....
We were in Quebec City on our honeymoon cruise. Beautiful country but the locals were fairly snobby.
