Relax in a shared Cape Cod cottage in the charming town of Chatham, Massachusetts. It's just you, the sea and sun, shops and walks, music and conversation. No goals or objectives, just a mind-clearing interlude to center yourself, get some well-deserved rest and have a few laughs. Someone else will make breakfast!

• An easy-paced sojourn among the dunes, antique shops, restaurants and bike paths gives you room to breathe and to think, or not.
• Your barometers are your mood, the weather, and your energy level; as each day comes, choose the activities that feel right, from an energizing bike ride on the Cape Rail Trail, to a seal-watching boat ride, to reading in a rocking chair.

Some of the Cape's best restaurants beckon as evening rolls around....we regroup each evening and choose from a number of great possibilities.

Sample the Summer delights of Maine foliage, lobster, coastal walks, and factory-store shopping on this northern midsummer getaway, hosted in shared condominium accommodation.

• From Boston's North Station, board the 9:45 Downeaster train for a trip up the coast, or 'down' east! Gorgeous landscapes and water views await as you sit back, relax and shift into vacation mode.

• Less than two hours later, arrive in Wells, Maine, where your driver/guide will meet your train and convey you to your accommodation in the seaside town of Ogunquit.
• "Beautiful Place by the Sea", the translation of the Native American word "Ogunquit", sums up the essence of this area. Rugged, yet civilized, the stretch of coast from Ogunquit to Kennebunkport holds many hidden natural and man-made jewels. Settle into your home for the next three nights and enjoy Ogunquit's beautiful three-mile-long beach. The town's Trolley system carries you easily from beach to town. Tonight, dinner and a performance at Ogunquit Playhouse set the tone for your stay.

• Next day, venture north and stop at the Lighthouse Depot, visit the Wells Estuarine Reserve at Laudholm Farm, and have a lobster roll lunch at the Maine Diner. Spend the afternoon at George & Barbara's Kennebunkport, shopping, relaxing around the tidal pool, and generally people-watching. Choose from many dinner options in Kennebunkport before returning to Ogunquit.
• Spend a day exploring Ogunquit town. Include a walk along the Marginal Way, a stunning cliffside walk where anyone who's anyone is on scene. Ogunquit's many shops and galleries hold Maine delights, and at Perkins Cove, you can board a Harbor Cruise to Nubble Light for some great photographic opportunities. Make a reservation at Jonathan's, Joe Allen's or one of many other outstanding dining venues in the town.
• Let's not forget two fabulous shopping spots: Stonewall Kitchen offers a tour of their jam-making production area, plus free samples of jams, salsas, mustards, god. And the 120 shops at the Kittery Outlets, just a few miles south of Ogunquit, constitute a mind-boggling shopping playground....so much so that your itinerary includes a free Power Shopper mini-course at breakfast on Outlet Day, along with maps of the Kittery outlets and special tips & discounts.
• If you opt to stay on for a few more days, you can join a whale-watching trip, visit the vibrant city of Portland, or just spend a few more days under Ogunquit's spell.
