Traveling to Portland

For those of you flying into Boston Logan airport, here are a few options for getting to/from Portland:

Bus: Concord Trailways goes directly between Logan and Portland; 2/2.5 hrs; $26 one-way or $44 round-trip. The buses are clean, have a restroom, offer water and show a movie. Unfortunately the Portland bus station is not downtown, so you would need to take a taxi to your hotel, or to the downtown Enterprise car rental branch (Forest Ave and Marginal Way).

Train: The Amtrak Downeaster goes between Portland and Boston's North Station (not the airport); 2.5 hrs; $24 one-way (discounts avail). It stops in towns along the way and I here it's very nice, but I've never taken it. In Portland, it stops at the same location as Concord Trailways.

Car: Obviously, car rental is another option. From Logan to Portland, you don't have to go though Boston, but the traffic can still be hectic. Definitely doable though.

And, as I mentioned above, there is an Enterprise branch in downtown Portland.
