Sorry.
Didn't mean to imply that I was. But I did read OP's original post.

Can you share why?


Newport is more upscale with lots of shopping and restaurants. Portland reminds me more of a mini Baltimore. A little gritty but I loved it! Not sure older people would, though.

Providence/Newport in RI are fun, and it gets warm a little earlier there than in Montreal or Portland.

I love the Northeast May through October (and Christmas/New Year's) but I would pass on Boston, Portland until at least mid-spring

Already been to Charleston. Reading is fundamental.

Portland ME in early Spring sounds awful to me.

Maybe Savannah? It depends on what you like to do and the budget I guess.

If the budget allows it go to Canyon Ranch in Arizona. It’s not that much more flight time and it’s fun and relaxing.

I wasn't the biggest fan of Montreal, though would go back to Quebec City, but it adds a time/expense factor... something to consider though.

That's good to know. We may wind up there since neither of us have been, and going south instead of north is certainly appealing from a weather perspective.
