Default Mystic, CT and Maine

Mrs H wants to go northeast for our next trip. She's got Mysic, CT on
the mind for some reason. One of her friends mentioned it as a nice
place to visit. Anyone know anything about the place?

Also, we plan to take a trip to Maine for a week sometime later this
summer. Mrs H would like to go on a whale watching excursion. Any info
on Maine out there? I've been to Acadia National Park, by motorcycle,
but the weather was too bad to get all the way to the top of the hill
at the park. Maybe it would be worth a visit.

Ideas?

Well, if you are at all interested in wooden boats or maritime history you
could happily spend a few days (weeks, months) or so at Mystic Seaport.
The big draw in that neighborhood is a casino, though - that is what most
local hostelries are geared for. It's been far too many years since I
visited Acadia, though I imagine if you wanted to you could devise an
itinerary that hit several boatbuilders along the way.
