Worse still is the fact that airport food is seldomly good, and who wants to start or end a trip with a bad meal?

Maine is a beloved New England destination and haven for outdoor enthusiasts. The state features impressive sites such as Acadia National Park and Old Orchard Beach, where you'll find the only beachfront amusement park in the region. However, the Pine Tree State also has the honor of having the easternmost city in the country: Eastport. Located on Moose Island, the aptly-named Eastport once had a thriving canning industry in the early 1900s.

Adventure awaits in California's Mendocino coast, home to Fort Bragg, an underrated little artsy town full of redwoods and shops.

Built in 1908 after the original structure from 1870 crumbled in the San Francisco earthquake of 1906, it features a 115-foot tall tower.
