We depart Friday morning for a two day drive up to Portland, ME from where we fly home.
Did you mean two hours? That's about right for the drive from Boston up to the airport in South Portland.
If you're really taking a two day trip up the coast there are a lot of great places to see along the way. If you have time, go to Portsmouth, NH, and visit the Strawberry Banke area near downtown - very pretty area - then drive across to Kittery Maine on route and have lunch or dinner at Warren's (old fashioned lobster restaurant on the bank of the river, really good food). If you're in Portland for a night, go down to the Old Port section of the city and go to DiMillo's. This 'floating restaurant' is located in an old car ferry that used to operate in Rhode Island, I believe. In between, there are many little coastal towns and beaches - York, Ogunquit, Wells, the Kennebunks, Scarborough, Cape Elizabeth and on up to Portland Head Light (the oldest lighthouse in Maine - but not the nicest looking one, IMHO that would be Pemaquid Point Light, further up the coast).
