Especially since you were mean to them… now they will consign you to customer service help line hell 😉 The 24/7 service line that is just a recording of their business hours is funny though … 🙂

Much like you I found my time in the Maritimes was too much in one trip. We spent 11 nights (5 hotels) in the Maritimes, and did without a car for the first 2 days and still put 2300km on the odometer. I did manage to stay 2 nights in most places, but even so there was a lot of getting in late and leaving early.

I didn’t get to see the Maritime drive at all. But we did stay in Baddeck 2 nights so one day we could drive the Cabot trail and the next see Louisbourg. If I were to do it again I would spend a night on the trail itself and stay in Sydney to see the rest of Cape Breton. Baddeck itself, once you’ve done the Bell Museum, is interesting mostly for it’s insignificance … the town ( village really )that time forgot 😀

We only had one day to see Lunenberg, Mahone Bay etc. though with the Blunose in Boston when we were there that seemed sufficient.

PEI other than the bridge and a nice restaurant left me unmoved though. We stayed in Charlottetown and while the Bed and Breakfast was nice enough – even if Billie woke me up because she thought it was haunted – the town itself was full of yahoo’s roaring around in pick up trucks and spitting on the sidewalk. In fact my general impression of PEI was what you would get it you took a 100 mile strip if central Alberta around Red Deer, ripped it up and dropped it in the St Lawrence. But to be fair, I was there for just over 24 hours, so maybe I got the province on a bad day :p

Of course now the places I want to see more of if I go back are Cape Breton in the north, Yarmouth in the south, and St John NB / Bay of Fundy in the east, all miles apart from one another. Oh well, I have to survive Hong Kong and Philippines before I think of another trip.

Glad you had a good time, it’s been too long since you actually went anywhere!
