Here are just various things I'd like to dump on the blog which are not meant to necessarily illicit a reaction from you...if anything they are just various facts and figures re: our trip. - our last camping neighbours were are follows 1) a 23yrs experience in military vet and his wife, camping since retirement. 2) an afghanistan war vet who did a tour in Kabul. He was with his 5 year old and 2.5 year old. He missed his first son's birth since he was overseas. Humbling to say the least. - Our last campground had a bar on site blasting music on sat nites. Why drive home from the bar when you can stumble back to your campsite. Trashy to say the least. Ugh. - People in Parrsboro will always say hi even if ... read more

RATS freaked me out and lessened the quality of my downtown Halifax experience. All the construction going on and tearing down of all buildings is making the city rat infested...and Halifax folks are suffering "a bit" of an infestation. I thought it was super cute till I read the article which coincidently came out on CBC.CA today. So I only give 2.5 stars to this city which should be a 4. The pier is really nice and the port rocks, but the restoration of many of the buildings are far from authentic, there isn't enough " cute" factor to the shops which are widely commercial. Missing - a hip clientele to make it worth your while...they are selling something they don't yet have...and of course the rats! However, to see are the great views, the cool ... read more

You would think choosing titles are easy; afterall they are based on the general idea of the post. However, finding the general idea of the post is usually where the difficulty lies so therefore choosing a title isn't always so easy. This post is going to be about all the titles (and their general ideas) I could have named this post. Btw, please keep commenting on the blog. I love to hear from all of you and usually reply (see the comments section of the piece you posted on). 1. PEI and the fact that each town has more places of worship than houses. 2. PEI and the fact that they only have 18 outlets where they sell booze. 3. PEI really does look the show Anne of Green Gables shows it to be like. 4. ... read more

At one point, you get used to the drill. The setup, the living, the routine, the pack-in and moving on to the next destination. This is going to be a drab entry because - I feel very "chill". We've found our beat, the kids seem to be finding the pace to be good (though Felix has waken up howling two nights in a row now for no apparent reason - nightmares? - only to fall asleep right away again). We've been in Bouctouche NB for the past two days and ending the NB Acadian leg of our trip but more Acadian charms awaits us in PEI and NS. So yes - suprise! We are bouncing over to the island as we are only 130kms from the Confederation Bridge. This will be the first time I cross ... read more

After spending two days in Carleton-sur-mer with hot sunshine and great weather, we were happy to finally leave Quebec and move into NB. We checked things out quickly the night before at the campground playground with Lucca running around (sidebar: there is truly not much he can't climb up now) and Felix in the baby backpack. We decided to do the 250kms or so to take us through Campbellton and Bathurst to get us to Caraquet, in the Acadian Peninsula. We are going to be spending 3 days there in what seems to be Toddler club med...complete with water slides right on the beach. The campground is huge and is called Camping Colibri. We're going to be doing a day trip to the Acadian Isle from there. We have come to figure out in a short ... read more
