Trip Insurance:
It is never a bad idea to buy trip insurance and sometimes, even travel health insurance. Insure My Trip is one website that has been written up in the New York Times, Washington Post, etc. and lists a number of reliable companies that deal with travel insurance along with price comparisons. When you shop, look carefully at the coverage offered to make sure it meets your needs. Insure My Trip, by the way, is a BBB Accredited business.

Accommodations: (link will open in a separate browser window)
We are in the process of negotiating some excellent rates with
           The Bradley Inn
           3063 Bristol Rd
           New Harbor, ME  04554.

When we have everything all set, we'll list the contact number here so you can call and tell them you are with Barefoot Contessa Photo Adventures. This lovely old inn is conveniently located close to most of our favorite spots, including our favorite fish shack. Take advantage of the discounted rates and the long weekend to putter around after the workshop ends and return to your favorite workshop locations or explore others.

As always, we recommend making reservations early (we've made ours), as the inn fills up quickly, and the discount rates are first-come/first serve. For those who miss out on our selection, check out other possibilities in the Damariscotta and Rockland area, including the nearby Hotel Pemaquid (I found some of my photographs in a book they had on display). For a modest charge, the Bradley Inn will provide breakfast to any in our group who stay at Hotel Pemaquid.

Airport:
The nearest major Airport is Portland International Jetport in Portland, ME (PWM), a bit over an hour and a half from New Harbor. Other options include Manchester, NH (MHT), a bit over three hours away, and Boston, MA (BOS), a little less than three and a half hours away.

Rental Cars:
Because we stop in out-of-the-way locations where the roads may be narrow, we encourage car sharing. If you are interested in sharing a rental car with others, let us know. We'll pool those who respond and get you in touch with one another to make your own plans. We can't guarantee that there will be takers, so we also recommend that you rent a car, as you can always cancel later. That way, you won't find your car of choice no longer available.
