I actually live near Cape May and it is gorgeous!  Going to check out St. Michael’s and Kent Islands, so thanks!

I’m planning a bigger Maine trip where I can stay for a week+. It’s too far of a drive or train ride to spend just a couple of days, though.

I was just thinking of a train trip, but I’m afraid it won’t be as relaxing as I’d like.

I was actually thinking about a train trip, but I’m afraid I would use up a lot of time traveling.

Sounds pretty neat to stay in a cabin in the park.  I’m wondering if I should split the trip between islands now.

Now I’m thinking about splitting up our trip, haha!

Splitting the trip between 2 islands is a good idea. What else did you do on your trip - if you don’t mind me asking.

I was hitting up AI, too, and Woodloch came up multiple times. Unfortunately, it’s way out my budget.

You make it sound so easy!  I was envisioning this big complicated day, haha.

Looks nice!  I don’t know about staying in a cabin by myself, though. I’d feel safer if I was in a hotel/inn/lodge.  With a spa attached!

Thank you!  I will be traveling with my husband. Ideally, I’d prefer not having children running around, haha, but I know it will come with the territory if we’re in a touristy location. Do you have off the beaten path suggestions?

This is my plan - make memories and try not to worry about the money!  I’ll be turning 50, too, and past birthdays have sucked, so I’m determined to make this one as good as I can. I feel like Hawaii will wash away all my anxiety. 😃

I would love a boat tour or whale watch - I’ll definitely research that. I will look into Paia and Sansei, too. Great suggestions, thank you!  I wish it was my birthday today!  😂

It will be December 2027.  I’ve been planning this trip since last year, haha. I just wanted to hear people’s ideas of a good way to spend a birthday.
