We had a little disruption in our hotel last night - around 10:30 there was an apparent "medical emergency" at the room directly across from ours. After lots of knocking the police showed up and had to breakdown the door - it was cool watching it through our peep hole - after about 30 tries he finally got the door open enough that he could wedge in a bar to open it the last little way. After a somewhat meager breakfast at the hotel we left with a rather agress...

Yet another hotel debacle last night. This time it was a toilet issue that couldn't be resolved. I guess that this would have been about our tenth different hotel since we left Toronto, so the law of averages has to come into play. We've tried to book a lot of our hotels on line, so in this instance it seemed that I booked a "smoking room". When we tried to change it to a "non-smoking" room we were told that there was a $15.00 premium. You'd think in this wo...

We left the Victoria Inn (B&B) in Kensington, P.E.I. with a little sadness. It was one of the best rooms that we had so far and at the best rate + it included a sumptuous breakfast. I'd recommend this place to anyone heading to Prince Edward Island. It's reasonably priced and they've really put a lot of effort into making it a real nice B&B. Tell Leighton that Bob & Deb sent you. We pulled out at about 9:00 a.m. so that we could make the 1 1/2 ho...

The travels for today are over. We've logged some 2,940 km since leaving Toronto and all has gone reasonably well. We were greeted to a fantastic B&B Breakfast this morning by Leighton and his wife. It was all on fine china with a silverware spread and all the extras - from homemade jelly on small individual serving plates to a sumptuous skillet breakfast of egg and homefries with freshly squeezed orange juice, pineapple and homemade breads. Wow. For a b...

Today started off a little weird. We agreed that we'd meet in the lobby at 9:30 a.m. and we were on-time as usual. When we got to the lobby I saw Ian & Wendy outside by our rental SUV, standing at the back of the car. I thought how the hell could Ian get the SUV from the parking spot to the front covered entrance way, particularly because I have the ONLY key fob that will allow anyone to start the car. When we got outside I asked Ian "how the hell did y...
