We have taken a half year off work and are travelling to South America. We will be in Galapagoes Peru Boliva Chile and Lots of friends and family have been asking us to post photos of our travels so we decided to try one better and do a blog. This is our first attempt at blogging so a http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Prince-Edward-Island/Charlottetown/blog-771082.html I find it amusing that there are no tolls to get onto PEI but there is a toll to leave the island. We opted to take the ferry to PEI and will leave by the Confederation Bridge. It is known as The Gentle Island and from what I saw that is accurate. The hills are the gentle rolling type. It is picturesque with the crops the cows and the fishing boats. We did a lot of driving to see the different http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Prince-Edward-Island/Charlottetown/blog-745001.html This last week in PEI has been great it started with the 13 kilometer confederation bridge coming from New Brunswick onto PEI. We camped at a small campgrounds just out of Charlottetown and decided to do all our sightseeing from there. The trees are just starting to show some fall colours. We toured Charlottetown first and around every corner there is a little history of Confederation. Down at th http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Prince-Edward-Island/Charlottetown/blog-742160.html We have made good time since the last blog. We drove from our last stop through to Montreal just stopping overnight in some places that don39t really warrant a mention. When we got to Montreal it was a bit of a culture shock. Quebec province is French and French only. While the surrounding provinces often list things in English and French there is no such luxury here. Every road sign business http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Prince-Edward-Island/Charlottetown/blog-733622.html If its Tuesday this must be Prince Edward Island I see passing by through the outside window of our Lanai Cabin. The deep reddish orange earth of the coast touching the water along the south coast of the island is unmistakable from viewing Anne of Green Gables or watching DVDs from one of my favorite series Road to Avonlea. I spot one of the square towered lighthouses on a promont http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Prince-Edward-Island/Charlottetown/blog-723325.html Wie in deze tijd van het jaar met de auto naar Prince Edward Island wil moet over de Confederation Bridge. Een hele lange brug met in het midden een vreemde bult en een bochtje die je een mooi uitzicht geven op de brug.Omdat we met de shuttle 39s avonds pas aan zouden komen bleven we die avond in een BB in Charlottetown. De hostels waren dicht en eigenlijk was dit het enige BB wat open was. http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Prince-Edward-Island/Charlottetown/blog-718332.html No matter if or not you own your own projector or pick to rent a projector just when you require one you may not be knowledgeable that unique lenses can make diverse overall consequences with your projector suited for several varieties of events.

This has always been a dream of mine to visit the quaint house that inspired many of Lucy Maud Montgomery39s much beloved novlels like Anne of Green Gables. It was the first time I drove in pouring rain in my Kia Soul but it has es http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Prince-Edward-Island/Charlottetown/blog-633629.html We left Moncton today and headed for the Hopewell Rocks Google it if you don39t know what it is Basically it39s the only place in the world you can walk on the Ocean floor because of the quick tides. As we were walking there...which was about a 15 min hike down the paths Jen and I both had to go to the bathroom. As we approached Jen reminded me of how she hated outhouses...It will be fine http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Prince-Edward-Island/Charlottetown/blog-633450.html Ah a whole day and nowhere to go well nowhere in the car anyway. Slept in a bit and had a nice free breakfast at the hotel and headed out for a walk to downtown Charlottetown. Very cool old buildings and houses and churches. Saw a place called Beaton39s Wholesale so we stopped in to look around since Janet39s ancestors that lived in Iris were the Beaton39s. Not much there so we http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Prince-Edward-Island/Charlottetown/blog-632580.html Had a nice breakfast at the McDonald Country Inn and hit the road. But first we stopped to chat with Ann Marie at the visitor center in St. Peter39s Nova Scotia. We stopped there the previous day so I feel we are now on a first name basis plus she shares the same name as my little sister. She gave us some information on the ferry to PEI Prince Edward Island and off we went. We drove a http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Prince-Edward-Island/Charlottetown/blog-632564.html We were well into the fourth song when the man on my left side turned to me and shouted into my ear.We39ve got to get you up so you can daunce You39re going to daunce aren39t youDaunceYes daunceI took a moment to consider this. The guitars and stomping feet made it difficult to make out what he39d said but after a few seconds I realized I had stumbled upon yet another piece http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Prince-Edward-Island/Charlottetown/blog-632213.html Another short day turned long by bad biking conditions...There was not much in the way of restaurants near the motel we stayed at last night. Luckily the motel itself had a restaurant where we planned to eat breakfast and we were told upon checking in that it opened at 7am. So at 7am we were outside the door wondering why the lights were off. We went back to our room to finish up any last det http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Prince-Edward-Island/Charlottetown/blog-629977.html TRAPPED performed by Bruce Springsteen Well it seems like I39m caught up in your trap againAnd it seems like I39ll be wearin39 the same ol39 chainsGood will conquer evil and the truth will set you freeAnd I know someday I39ll find the keyThen I know somewhere I will find the keyWell it seems like I39ve been playin39 the game way too longAnd it seems the game I pl http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Prince-Edward-Island/Charlottetown/blog-614129.html For those that love to see new sights travel themes are great options for collections of various types of jewelry wholesale.

We left off last time when Rene and I were on our way to the Maritimes. August 28 2010 we rode from Riviere du Loup on to New Brunswick. Amanda had emailed us to tell us to check out a place called Hopewell Rocks. We thought we would probably camp somewhere along the way and make it there the following morning. On our way to Hopewell Rocks we took a http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Prince-Edward-Island/Charlottetown/blog-530040.html All in one day I saw the highest tides in the world the longest multispan bridge and drove around the beautiful PEI. The next day saw Anne of Green Gables home recreationit is after all only a story but don't tell that to the thousands of Japanese who go and went to an amazing red sand beach. I spent 2 days in Charlottetown and saw a stage musical of Anne of Green Gables.

At Westville we turned north and drove to Caribou where we drove aboard the MV Holiday Island. It takes about an hour and a half to make the crossing over to Wood Islands on Prince Edward Island. After leaving the ferry we drove to Charlottetown.Charlottetown is the l http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Prince-Edward-Island/Charlottetown/blog-516736.html PEI is a Canadian province consisting of an island of the same name as well as other islands. The maritime province is the smallest in the nation in both land area and population excluding the territories. The island has a few other names Garden of the Gulf referring to the pastoral scenery and lush agricultural lands throughout the province and Birthplace of Confederation referring to http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/Canada/Prince-Edward-Island/Charlottetown/blog-508565.html Hi all Sorry it's been awhile since last entry.
