Ordinarially we've avoided big cities but there were a couple of things that I found in the guide books that sounded interesting and since it is on our way to Peggy's Cove supposedly another must see place it seemed like a good idea.First we did our laundry. There was a laundromat in downtown Truro. It took us about an hour to get it all washed and dried. http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Canada/Nova-Scotia/Halifax/blog-337529.html In order to work for NCL it is a requirement to complete a basic safety course. Included in the course is first aid firefighting lifeboatliferaft training emergency procedures etc. We started our training last week have more this week and then we finish with us having to flip a liferaft over in the water once we get to warmer waters Bermuda. Lucky for us having Halifax as a port meant t http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Canada/Nova-Scotia/Halifax/blog-333983.html We arrived in Halifax late Tuesday night. This time the weather has not cooperated and it has rained every day so we have not been able to do a lot of outside things. Thursday we took the boys to an indoor glow in the dark mini golf. On Saturday we went to a friend of Jeremy's farm and picked blueberries. On the way home we stopped at Murphy's in Truro for some fish. YUM Rich preach on Sunday AM http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Canada/Nova-Scotia/Halifax/blog-318587.html Less than a week to go and my mind turns to what I leave behind. I spent the summer in this quiet part of the world. I am lucky to live here I know. Now the birds are gathering on the telephone wires getting ready to fly south. People are energetic with the cooler air. Neighbours are chopping wood for winter. Schools will soon open. Everything around me begins the autumn dance yet I pac http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Canada/Nova-Scotia/Halifax/blog-317576.html Today is the day that I should have a reaction to the Yellow Fever needle I got ten days ago. Hmmmmm do I feel different or am I thinking myself into some body aches Not sure... I wonder if some infected mosquito will bite me in Peru and die because I have this serum in my body I hope so. ha ha ha I like this site good tip about travel insurance. I get lost reading other blogs http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Canada/Nova-Scotia/Halifax/blog-315670.html O.K. This looks like a great place for a travel journal. I fly out on the 4th of September with a one way ticket to London. In less than two weeks the adventure begins. http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Canada/Nova-Scotia/Halifax/blog-315366.html It certainly has been a wet one for this part of the country. Driving north through New Brunswick and into Quebec after our stay in Halifax it was hard to miss the lush green pastures and lawns. Woods and fields were bursting at the seams with new growth and freshly baled hay was rotting everywhere we looked. Everything was waterlogged including the spirits of the people we ran into who have s http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Canada/Nova-Scotia/Halifax/blog-310653.html Dramas on bus Got off at Montreal to find the BIGGEST most unorganised line ever. People everywhere. I lined up but it looked like the bus was going to overfill and me and a couple of guys I was talking to in the line were hoping it would so that we could all get seats to ourselves and stretch out. I get to the front of the line and am told that I have to go back to the information booth b http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Canada/Nova-Scotia/Halifax/blog-307095.html I've finally set up my travel blog for when I go to South Korea. I'm still trying to figure all of this out. Since I don't leave for another month there won't be much posted for now http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Canada/Nova-Scotia/Halifax/blog-303188.html After our wild west adventures with the olds Rich and I have left mum and dad in Toronto baby sitting Hannah and William. It was very sad saying goodbye to Marta and my beautiful niece and nephew I had a great time this year being so close to them and will miss that a lot. After dad dropped us off at Hamilton airport which by the way has to be the quietest and most relaxed airport I have ever http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Canada/Nova-Scotia/Halifax/blog-302001.html WOO HOO Yes we are in Halifax and have arrived safely at Keith and Carrie Haggett's. We drove by our future home and also had a look in another house that was having an open house...Lynne wanted to have a noseyWe left Quebec city after wandering around in the rain on Thursday and travelled to Rivier du Loup which is on the St. Laurence river. Friday we drove into New Brunswick stopped at G http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Canada/Nova-Scotia/Halifax/blog-290148.html The motor yacht Blue Moon has been quite an adjustment from the normal 9 to 5 job and lifestyle wersquore all used to.

I've wanted to go to Greece as long as I can remember which makes the trip even more exciting. But for now I must spend the entire summer working.. the wait will be worth it I'm sure. http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Canada/Nova-Scotia/Halifax/blog-284495.html We had a great time with the kids. http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Canada/Nova-Scotia/Halifax/blog-283736.html Noah playing basketwball http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Canada/Nova-Scotia/Halifax/blog-281545.html Hi you allSorry about the ending of the last blog. I'm not sure what really happened....So Yesterday I walked from 9am to 3pm. I sat down for 12 mins to eat a salad and a smoked salmon spring roll. The sun was out but unfortunatly so was the wind. I have been wearing sun block on my face but I am still getting a sun glass tan. I think that it is wind burn though. Anyhow I left the hotel and http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Canada/Nova-Scotia/Halifax/blog-281390.html Basketball is Noah's favorite sport right now. http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Canada/Nova-Scotia/Halifax/blog-281105.html Jane Hunter and Lynette arrived in Halifax just days after Breanna Lynn was born. We've spent the week cooking and helping Sara Jo with the kids. On May 26 Richard Hunter and Rich arrived. Richard and Jane plan to take the next few days and visit Prince Edward Island. Before we leave we hope to visit downtown Halifax Mahone Bay Peggy's Cove and Digby. We've had a great time with the grandkids.He http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Canada/Nova-Scotia/Halifax/blog-280931.html So we arrived into Halifax at about 6 pm last night. We found our hotel without any concerns. The only concern being we are downtown and there isn't any parking. The good thing about a rental car is that you don't really care about parking it is a no parking zone We are staying at the Delta Barrington. We have an awesome King size bed and have started to wonder why we don't have one of thes http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Canada/Nova-Scotia/Halifax/blog-280725.html Good morningWell it is a rainy morning in Halifax. Since 99 of my activities include long walks outside I will have to revamp my plans. Poor Brett he seems to be working harder than he thought he would be. Yesterday he went from 730 to 5pm. We met up at the room at 5. By this time I had already had an hour nap. HEEHEEUnfortunatly we are alittle a head of the tourist season so most of t http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Canada/Nova-Scotia/Halifax/blog-280711.html Breanna and Sara Jo came home from the hospital on Saturday. Here's a new picture. Can you believe all that hair http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Canada/Nova-Scotia/Halifax/blog-277611.html Last night May 15 at 1055 Breanna Lynn decided she had spent enough time inside her mommy.

And yes it is still snowing At Peggyrsquos cove Ron Julie Charlene and I climbed around the rocks in front of the picturesque fishing villagersquos famous lighthouse. The population is only 60 and there is also a 1 http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Canada/Nova-Scotia/Halifax/blog-269962.html In July 1997 not long after the completion of the Confederation bridge my sister Gerry and I took a short trip to Rustico Prince Edward Island. We wanted to familiarize ourselves with a part of our family history. Our great grandfather left the island in the mid 1800's to resettle in St Alexis de Matapedia.We were only there for two nights. The first night we set up our little tent I thought http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Canada/Nova-Scotia/Halifax/blog-262083.html It is officially Spring in less than a week but it is still winter in Halifax. As I write this it is persistently snowing outside and the outlook for the rest of week will be more of the same.
