DEPART ONE LAST LOOK—The towns of Greater Portland each offer some- thing different that make them worth discovering. Before you leave, make sure to get out for a stroll north, south or west of Portland proper. [p. 60-61, 86-87] PLAN YOUR NEXT VISIT. Make your reservation at your favorite places to stay, or plan your next visit someplace new. Cooler seasons bring completely new experiences—and sometimes more affordable pricing and easier reservations—even at the same places. [p. 62-73, 80-81] GET IT TO GO. Hold onto the taste of Maine by grabbing an Italian or lobster roll for the road. Or ship some live lobster to meet you at home. Local food can also be enjoyed while at Portland International Jetport or on the Downeaster train home. [p. 52-54]

BRUNCH IT UP—Find a farm-to-table breakfast at a restaurant or diner. Or keep it simple with coffee and a local favorite—a handmade doughnut crafted from Maine potatoes. [p. 34-35] AFTERNOON WATER WORKS—Kayaking, sailing, fishing, or paddle boarding are great warm weather activities. However, cooler temps don’t deter, with year-round water taxi and Casco Bay Lines island service. Holiday polar dips and Parade of Lights are other great excuses to enjoy the harbor in winter. [p. 24, 49] TURN BACK TIME—From colonial days to the Industrial Age, buildings from almost every century are open for exploration. Learn how where we came from shapes where we are today. [p. 22-23, 26-27]
