Leaving Cape Breton Bell, amazing inventor Off to PEI. We had a pretty slow start this morning since Carman had to set off and get some much needed petrol before we could head off on our travels. But it's a pretty easy going day today compared to the activities of yesterday. Once we were back in business we headed off to the Alexander Graham Bell Museum. Bell is well known and credited with the invention of the phone but I didn't know what other amazing and wonderful things he also did. He actually was very interested in sound/hearing and worked at [View Full Entry]

Hike. Kayak. Whales. Busy day of doing stuff I'm cold and hungry! We started off the morning with a short hike to the rocky cliffs somewhere in Cape Breton...can't remember the name! It was only about 45 minutes for the round trip hike. More like a pleasant walk amongst the trees and then the reward was some gorgeous views. Then it was another short drive of about 20 minutes or so to the place where we could rent kayaks. Only $20 for two hours of kayaking! I love kayaking on nice and calm waters. Amazingly I didn't get too wet either. [View Full Entry]

Salty Bear begins Nova Scotia, PEI Little New Brunswick. I had an 8:30AM start this morning meeting up with the Salty Bear tour company. It took about a half hour to get everything sorted out and soon enough we were off and running. The beginning of the tour was mainly driving on the highway, so it was not all that exciting. It did give us a bit of a chance to get to know one another a little bit better and we also got a bit of a run down from Carman, our tour guide/driver. We're a small bunch. 10 people [View Full Entry]

Touristy walk 'bout town Quiet day in Halifax Train tickets in hand! I ended up staying up til about midnight last night just chatting with my English roomies...definitely not with the Chinese woman in our room! I said hello to her when she came into the room and she totally ignored me! Talk about icy! LOL I'm just about caught up on all of my missing sleep and rolled outta bed close to 10AM this morning. I saw the sun shining and felt a tad guilty for being inside so I forced myself to not be so lazy. :) Once I [View Full Entry]

Back in Canada Tim Horton's, Ice Hockey, Toques Canadiana. Since my sleep schedule has been put off the last two days in the sense that I’ve gone to bed after 3AM, I thought I might as well stay up instead of going to sleep before my flight to Halifax. Departure time for Toronto is at 6:20, so that meant having to leave for the airport just before 4AM. Yowzers! Thank goodness I was chatting with Lainie til about 3AM...that really helped me to stay awake. It's a great thing that Anita will be able to bring some of my stuff back [View Full Entry]

Taking it easy I've gotten real good at that! Bye Bye USA. Wow, it just dawned on me that today is my last day here in the US and I'll be heading home tomorrow! Well, not home as in Vancouver, but home as in Canada. I can't believe that 9/10ths of my trip are gone and that the last 1/10th are sure to fly by. I fly into Halifax tomorrow afternoon and a couple of days after that I'll take off on a short 6 day tour around Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. From there I decided that [View Full Entry]

I’ve been abandoned Altering this blog entry But I can't say why... Hmm, where to start? Long story short, Anita has taken off for Florida to help a friend that has to get some stuff done. But back to me… ;)…lol…I’ve got the day to myself here in Atlanta yet again. I didn’t get to sleep until past 3AM so I’m still pretty tired but can’t seem to sleep much more. What to do today? I guess since I’ll be taking off for Halifax first thing on Sunday morning I should get all of my laundry washed. Hmm, I still have [View Full Entry]

Bye Bye cruising life Bye Explorer of the Seas Day full of goodbyes. We had an early morning start this morning and were amongst the first set of people to be able to disembark the Ship at 7AM. There was a bit of delay with passing through Immigration because they were having computer problems. That gave us a little bit more time to say our goodbyes and thank you’s to Christie. Since Laura and I were sharing the same last name and the same address we were able to fill in one immigration form. Technically Laura and Alice were in transit [View Full Entry]
