Maine trip in the fall

Hi, my husband and I are flying to Maine in the fall and driving up the coast. It's our 25th anniversary...well, actually our anniversary was in February, but hey, who wants to go that far north in the winter? Anyway, we're going in the fall for a week to look at the sea and the leaves. We've been to Maine and New England before and absolutely loved it. I'd like to think about retiring there. If you know anything about that, please let me know. Colette
