Its Almost Vacation Time! - torradan - 06-11-2007

Looks like our tentative itinerary for this year..

Hitting up PEI, Cabot Trail, Halifax/Dartmouth, Peggy's Cove, Digby, Bay of Fundy, and heading home.

Here is our map so far..

Vacation 2007

Any suggestions on stuff to check out? She has a whole list going on (she's been there before)

Any locals have some good off-the-beaten path/non-touristy stuff we should see? Hidden gems? Good places to eat?

And we're taking her car.. she's having some issue with Ontario vs. New York plates in Canada for some reason.. I guess she thinks the natives will throw a beaver at my car or something. :( So no chance of getting nice shots with mine :( I guess i'll have to get hers all cleaned up and use that instead.

well in Charlottetown PEI, there is a great hotel call " The Great George " it's a unique cluster of fully restored 4½-star heritage buildings situated within the streetscape of Charlottetown's National Historic District. So you can get a room or a whole small home for as many nights as you need, I stayed there in 2000 when I was on vacation.. fantastic place, and everything in Charlottetown is with-in walking distance.

I still have their booklet with thir number

Umm one word of advice, if your are indeed taking her car, Make sure you remove the Ontario front plate once you enter the province of Quebec, as the QPP like to target out of province cars, and they will pull you over for going as little as 2/kms over the limit, and they are known for following you for a long time, ignoring all other cars but yours just to pull you over for doing anything wrong.
