Well, we just passed EIGHT THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED (8,500) kilometers in the Infinity. Beyond one afternoon of driving by Deborah, I've driven the entire length of the Maritimes and back. The car has driven well, actually it was a pleasure driving this car - it has the ride, the pep and the handling that has made it a good driving experience for me. Having left Gananoque, we scored a good deal at a hotel in Cambridge, ON so we headed there. With the thought in ...

Again, I've fallen down on things. The last update was from Yarmouth, Nova Scotia and we've covered quite a bit of ground since then. We were up early to catch the 8:30 a.m. CAT Ferry from Yarmouth to Portland, Maine. It was a great crossing on a great vessel. It's fast (33 knots/hr) even with one of the starboard engines out. It can reach a top speed of about 45 knots or 51 miles per hour - that's very quick for a boat this size. The crossing was about 6....

We arrived in Halifax in the early afternoon so we had to explore the Harbour area. I was a little surprised that it was an area under construction, I thought this would have been just a little more complete. Early the next morning we headed out to Peggy's Cove. I've always heard about the beauty in Peggy's Cove, but finally I got a chance to see it for myself. The experience was magnified by the blue skies and the moderate temperatures. The large bulbous ...

It's time to leave Rocky Harbour....unfortunately. It's been one of our top three places to visit so far on this trip. But, as always it's time to leave and make it to the ferry to get off the island. Based on the ferry times from Port Aux Basques we knew that we couldn't make the 11:30 ferry so we had no choice to take the MIDNIGHT ferry. It meant that we would have to sleep on the ferry and forgoe a hotel for the night. We checked in on time (2 hours befo...

So much has happened since we left our hotel in Grand Falls that I guess I've been just too busy to put pen to paper so-to-speak. At this point I've driven close to 5,600 kilometers from the time we left Toronto so my arse is just a little tender. We stopped for lunch in Badger, Newfoundland at a quaint little lunch spot. Since I was a teenager in Parkdale I've been on a quest to find a Hot Turkey Sandwich that matched what they offered at the Edgewater Hotel....
