I am planning a family vacation to Maine, does anyone have any suggestions? We are a family of 5. Mom and Dad, three kids. Ages at time of vacation 18 months, 8 yrs and 13 yrs old. We want to stay in a hotel, because of the youngest. We will be going in the summer, not sure what month yet between June and August. We want to visit the coast. I have no idea what to expect. We don't know what each part of the coast has to offer. I am assuming we will try to stay as close to the south as possible. We are in NJ. We can travel a bit north if there are good vacation areas. We're looking for wildlife, and nature, but also things that can be fun for kids who might get bored of just nature. We need good tips for dining and places to stay. Also, does anyone know what the weather is like during the summer in Maine? Once I get some basic info, I can run with it. I have been to a ton of Maine tourism websites, but I need a starting point. Thanks so much! I was also hoping to find out if the areas suggested are very expensive to visit. Hotels, food, etc... I also don't want it to just be a repeat of the NJ shore. I don't want to deal with tons of people that are also there on vacation. I know this is weird because my family and I are going there on vacation, but tourists are horrible - you know rude, loud and mess the place up. We aren't like that and want to minimize our contact with people like that. I'm hoping for a place that is great for tourists, but not overrun by them.

International Vacation Ideas for a Family of 5 with 3 Teenagers? Every year my mom plans a horribly boring vacation to a theme park in the US. We've been to Disneyworld, Disneyland, Multiple Six-Flags, Cedar Point, Seaword, and the list goes on and on. My mom isn't exactly the must cultured person which is why she plans such generic family vacations. Our time there usually involves getting on some rides, eating at a Shoney's, and staying in a so-so hotel. I've recently suggested an international trip or even a cruise for our next vacation. She's afraid to be on a cruise because 'you'll get kidnapped'. She probably saw a 6 o'clock new story about the horrible 'dangers' of traveling on a cruise ship. My sisters are mature 12 and 15 year olds who'd appreciate a trip overseas. I'm curious with what locations would keep us very busy . My mom's afraid that we'll go overseas and there will be 'nothing to do except look at things'. Please help me turn our family vacation from a dull theme park visit to an international adventure.
