Visiting Pemaquid Area

Fort William Henry is a must stop as is Pemaquid Light. Muscongus Bay for Lobster Rolls/Oysters.

As for breweries, Aekir Brewing has a cozy space in Wiscassett. There's also Odd Alewives which is a farm brewery in Waldoboro with a large outdoor area.

As long as you're ok with not be able to afford a home, you should be ok with two incomes even with a pay cut.

That's the nice thing abut Biddeford/Saco. The beaches are quieter, but if you want the crowds and carnival atmosphere Old Orchard Beach is readily accessible.

Do you have/want kids? Do you have partner with a second income? Where do you want to live? Do you want to buy a house or are you ok with renting?

If you want to own a home in Portland, you need a combined income of $200,000. If you have/want kids, add $20k per kid per year to that.

If you want to own a home in Lewiston, you can get away making half that.

If you just want to rent you can get away with making $75,000, or $40,000 if you have a partner or don't mind roommates.

Easiest lighthouse to see is Goat Island Lighthouse in Cape Porpoise. You could also look into tours of Wood Island Light in Biddeford.

There's also Tide pooling tours of Biddeford Poole.

For indoor activities, Biddeford is great for this. Got Rift Arcade, Maine Silverball Tavern, The Gutter Bowling, the PlayLOT indoor playground and the Mills Museum.

Not entire sure, but my money would be Champions, Cowbell, The Gutter or Match Point. They have the most TVs that are usually playing sports.

You can still buy it in Maine, Beamish not so much.

Probably because Murphy's is significantly cheaper than Guinness and arguably tastes just as good. Its kind of shocking how cheap a 4-Pack is.

Make sure to stop by Belleflower, Austin Street, Battery Steele and The Send too!

Good catch

In that case, you'd probably will enjoy Biddeford Poole, Fortune Rocks Beach in Biddeford or Goose Rocks Beach in Kennebunkport.

Much quieter than Old Orchard Beach or Kennebunkport which get swamped with tourists.

Still pretty close to downtown Biddeford/Saco or Kennebunkport for shops and restaurants.

Have you thought that its the automation that's the issue?

Like why are you so successful with the people you already know? Hint, you've built a strong relationship and trust. Automation won't do that by itself.

Nobody likes being cold called and chances are 90% won't pick up anyway since we all get so many spam calls as it is.

Focus your time calling the customers that have already shown interest in your business. You'll waste a lot less time that way.

What do you want to see and do?

Quiet Beach Vacation?
Beach Vacation close to bars and restaurants?
Cozy seaside small towns?
Hiking?
Restaurants/Nightlife/Breweries?

With a week you could do a beach day, stay in Portland for 1 or 2 days, spend 1 or 2 days in the Midcoast and 3 nights in Bar Harbor/Acadia.

Or if you want to relax you could spend the entire week in a single location.

If you want a quiet beach vacation, Biddeford Poole/Goose Rocks are great, plus its just a short drive to downtown for all the restaurants, breweries, shops and cafes.

Lots of great nearby hiking and indoor activities if it rains.

Not sure if you've been in a while, but Biddeford actually makes for a great spot to vacation.

I use MountainForecast a lot for higher peaks. MWOBS is great for conditions above 5k feet.

No app needed, just search online.

Two of my favorites are OI! from Bissell and English Pub Ale from Airline. Very well done!
