Vacation 2017

Day 30 to 33 (HOOOOOOOMMMMMEEEEEEE)

Nice respite in Yorkton Saskatchewan at the DaysInn. Dash became all excited to have some room to run around in. Did some laps on the carpet and played with a rolled up wash cloth. Girls had a bit of mall shopping (UGH). Dinner at Mr. Mike's where I was served…

Vacation 2017

Day: 24-29 Maritimes through Quebec through Ontario

Homeward bound. Brutal traffic through Quebec City and Montreal and not to mention Ottawa. Few sites along the way, having a slower drive today to the Lake of the Woods in Kenora. Liam and I had a swim, so warm, and throwing some skewers on the BBQ. Off for a…

Vacation 2017

Day 23 & 24: Nova Scotia and THE END

Well we finally we made it to the last Province (alas, Newfoundland will have to be a separate trip). Our time budgeted was just not enough for all the wonders of this great country. Staying 4 days in Quebec (a must) put us behind somewhat along with our family visit…

Day 21 & 22: Prince Edward Island

What a spectacular drive across the Confederation Bridge. Somewhat windy with gusts up to 70 kmh so the SportsTruckster was a handful. Beautiful views of Northumberland Straight. White caps and beautiful shades of blue water. The drive to our campsite was utterly beautiful. The weather today (first day of rain)…

Day 20:Bay of Fundy

Started the day a wee late due to the time zone difference, slept in a bit and missed the reversing falls. We will catch them on the way back. Headed through the Funny National Park and had lunch in Alma. Yum yum yummy yum yum.... Lobster caught fresh in the…

Vacation 2017

Day 19: New Brunswick

Sad to say goodbye to Quebec but off now to a much anticipated Maritime adventure. Adventure getting to the campground was an understatement. Pete, in all his wisdom..that's me, chose to follow Google Maps for the quickest route shaving off a blistering 15 minutes. Highway 695 and 855 are more…

Jour 18: Adieu Quebec, J’aime beaucoup

Well I have been speaking French for 4 days now I have great satisfaction hearing from several people in Montreal and Quebec, from taxi drivers, to ticket agents to waitresses that my French is pretty good. Alas, my brain is fried from this. Nice to hear from the impressionable daughter…

Jour 17: Quebec City

Short haul from Montreal to Quebec City, about 3 hours after a stop at French Costco. Seems they sell beer and wine there. Nice idea except they only had a sale on Budweiser. Who the hell drinks Budweiser. Oh ya, the French wearing Speedos. We arrived in a lovely place…

Jour 16: Montreal Part Deux

WARNING SCIENCE..... Mount Royal is the deep extension of a vastly eroded ancient volcanic complex, which was probably active about 125 million years ago.[2] As a result, some tourist guidebooks, such as the Michelin Guide to Montreal, state that it is an extinct volcano. The mountain, along with the other…

Well we left Kingston after a wonderful Lake visit. Great BBQ's, wine, watersports and hanging out with my brother and sister in law whom I had not seen for a very long time. They were so accommodating and gracious. THANK YOU!!! PS, Dash misses you. Stopped by The Newboro Rideau…
