Mark your calendars for next September and October.  By the time you read this, the top tourist spots in Nova Scotia will be closed for the season, but you really want to come back in 2024.  Why? Imagine a short plane ride to Boston, renting a car, driving a few hours through Maine and hopping…

  Huge mountains, a creek that runs through town, a funky downtown with cool shops and cafes and historic buildings that date back to the 1800s, and for nostalgia buffs, an easy walk to the home shared by “Mork and Mindy” in the opening credits of the 1970s/80s TV series.
