I have traded into Marriott Boston Customs House beginning on Friday, October 6, which is the beginning of Columbus Day weekend. Am I going to regret this because of the crowds? We will have two full days of travel from the west coast, so we will have about 5 days to explore the city.
Also, we want to take the week before or after our Boston stay and do an area driving trip, probably staying in hotels or inns along the way. Which week would be better weather, less crowds and have a better chance of seeing fall colors? September 30 to October 6 or October 13 to October 20? My husband wants to go to Acadia National Park. I see there is a ferry from Bar Harbor to Nova Scotia. He has also wanted to visit there as well. Would anyone recommend doing this ? Or do we not have enough time?
We have never visited this area before and any suggestions would be appreciated. We are in our sixties, one of us is very fit and the other is not. (Not saying which one I am.) We are hoping to see some fall colors. We both are interested in history as well as the outdoors. I don't want to spend all the time in the car, driving from place to place. We might spend two nights at each stop. This might be our one and only trip this way, so I want to make the most of it.
