Our Excellent Eastern Canada Pictures
It’s now been a week since we’ve been home from our Excellent Eastern Canada Adventure and as usual, normal life has long since taken over. The return home from this particular vacation was a lot easier because of the relatively short flying time from Montreal and also the similarly small number of hours difference in time zones. Under normal circumstances…

Our Excellent Eastern Canada Adventure – Final
This weekend marks the final stretch of our Excellent Eastern Canada Adventure as today (day 16) is technically a long weekend for most everyone but of course a long weekend has little meaning when you are on vacation. We left Quebec City this morning and have moved on to the town of Knowlton which is located on the south tip…

Our Excellent Eastern Canada Adventure – Part 5
When I last wrote we were about to leave Rimouski and continue to head east to our next destination of Montmagny (pronounced: mo-ma-nee). We had spent a few hours in Rimouski after dinner (which we happened to have that night at a Quebec dining institution called St. Hubert BBQ) walking along the boardwalk which runs along the St. Lawrence river.…

Skipping New Brunswick With the decision made to skip St. Andrews and removing several hundred kilometers from our trip, we headed north on highway 11 to ultimately cross the bridge into Quebec at the town of Cambellton, New Brunswick. On our way north through New Brunswick, we had made a detour through what is called the Acadian Peninsula onto Miscou…

Our Excellent Eastern Canada Adventure – Part 3
It’s interesting how the weather can play such an important part of how much you will enjoy a vacation. For example I have always felt that our trip down to New Zealand never rated too highly – most likely because we experienced rain on about 60% of the time that we were there. Of course we know that as we…

Emergencies Really Do Happen Day 2 of our Eastern Canada Excellent Adventure started out like any other but by the time it was over would stand out as one that we would be talking about for some time to come. The good news is that due to me following my own travel planning advice, things could have turned out a…

Our Excellent Eastern Canada Adventure – Part 1
All things considered, travelling across the country from Vancouver to Halifax isn’t such a big deal under normal circumstances. However, throw in an all nighter red-eye flight and it would make any flight all that more grueling. The start to our Eastern Canada Excellent Adventure with Liz and Peter began last night when we met at the Vancouver airport for…

The Making of Our Excellent Eastern Canada Adventure – Part 2
It’s less than a day before our suitcases come out of the basement. Clothes are being sorted for a final wash load. The List has been printed to make sure that everything gets packed. This can only mean one thing. An Excellent Adventure is about to start. As I write this last Making Of chapter of our Excellent Eastern Canada…

The Making of Our Excellent Eastern Canada Adventure – Part 1
Yes, I know. It’s been almost two months since my last posting. I’d like to say that I was so busy that I just didn’t have the time to get any new articles written but that wasn’t the case. It really was more that I needed a break from the blog for a while. Nonetheless, there been significant progress on…

Montreal on My Mind
It’s probably because Barb and I just came back from Paris last week that I have Montreal on my mind right now. While my suitcase sits in my bedroom still only partially unpacked from our recent vacation, I’m already thinking about our next Excellent Adventure this fall to Eastern Canada. This, of course, is all fairly normal as we often…
