Portland is a city in the U.S. state of Maine, with a population of 67,067 as of 2017. The Greater Portland metropolitan area is home to over half a million people, more than one-third of Maine's total population, making it the most populous metro in northern New England (an area comprising the states of Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont). Portland is Maine's economic center, with an economy that relies on the service sector and tourism. The Old Port district is known for its 19th-century architecture and nightlife. The marine industry still plays an important role in the city's economy, with an active waterfront that supports fishing and commercial shipping. The Port of Portland is the largest tonnage seaport in New England.
Manchester is a city in the southern part of the U.S. state of New Hampshire. It is the most populous city in northern New England. Manchester is, along with Nashua, one of two seats of Hillsborough County. Manchester lies near the northern end of the Northeast megalopolis and straddles the banks of the Merrimack River. It was first named by the merchant and inventor Samuel Blodgett, namesake of Samuel Blodget Park and Blodget Street in the city's North End. His vision was to create a great industrial center similar to that of the original Manchester in England, which was the world's first industrialized city.

Road Trip to Boston, Portland, and Bar Harbor, Maine
July 2015 we hit the road headed for Maine. Along the way we camped in New Jersey, stopped in Boston, stayed a few days in Portland, and then ended our trip in Bar Harbor. We saw lighthouses, seals, sailboats, and a whale. We woke up very early the day we left for home and enjoyed the sunrise in Acadia National Park. We then drove straight home and spent 21 hrs in the car.

Time Lapse: Portland, Maine through 5 States to Montréal, Québec
July 15, 2017 - They said it couldn't be done...but they were wrong!
In just six hours I traverse through five states (and one Canadian province)! Starting in Portland, Maine, I took the long way back to Montréal through New Hampshire, Massachusetts (at the very fringe of the Boston metro area), Vermont, and the northeast corner of New York state back to La Belle Province of Québec.
Along the way I take a few side trips to Old Orchard Beach, Maine; a few Fallout 4 references as I briefly touch upon the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; getting lost looking for lunch in White River Junction, Vermont; a quick drive-through of Burlington, the largest city in Vermont and stomping ground to Senator Bernie Sanders; and finally, visiting the lake monster Champ on the shores of Lake Champlain on the Vermont/New York border.
Once back in Canada on a beautiful Saturday evening, I pass through downtown Montréal, pay homage to my Montréal Canadiens of the NHL at their home arena, the Bell Centre, and then out west to Dorval, near the airport, for my final night away on this adventure.
