AARP has named Portland, Maine as its #1 travel destination of the year. Why Portland? Active harbor, Portland Head Light, great restaurants, fun shopping and proximity to L.L. Bean are a few reasons.
There are other travel destinations on the list, but it might be fun to play the tourist in your own state, especially since L.L. Bean is celebrating its 100 year anniversary with everything from special events to a new ice cream flavor in Freeport.
