2024 – That’s a Wrap!

January 7, 2025 by Patti No Comments

2024. In many ways, the days of 2024 passed in the blink of an eye. But, the year also seemed to be one relentlessly long election year. Although we had a good year, we are happy to put 2024, and the election, on the shelf and get on with the business of living.

Road Trip! A Return to Nova Scotia

August 4, 2024 by Patti 2 Comments

A return to Nova Scotia. We first visited Nova Scotia in late summer 2022. Prior to taking the ferry across the Northumberland Strait to Nova Scotia, we spent 10 glorious days exploring Prince Edward Island. As we made our way south, toward home, we mapped out a quick five days on Nova Scotia.

Our Best Learned Road Trip Travel Tips

April 10, 2023 by Patti No Comments

Road Trip Travel Tips. Are you making plans and gearing up for a summer road trip? Or, for that matter, any other time of the year? Truth be told, road trips are by far my most favorite way to travel, followed by train travel which runs a close second. There’s just something really special about a road trip and the flexibility traveling by car offers.

“Roads were made for journeys, not destinations.” Confucious

Prince Edward Island Shorts – One Last Look

March 6, 2023 by Patti 8 Comments

Prince Edward Island. I just finished uploading a series of Prince Edward Island short videos, #shorts, to our Youtube Channel. Doing so led me to think about the island and the incredible landscapes and stories that presented themselves while we explored. For us, it was probably a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, although we’d certainly be open to the idea of a return visit. But, it’s a really (really) long drive, albeit adventurous.

Reminiscing through our photos led me to the idea of taking one last look at some of the spectacular landscapes we experienced while on PEI. Many of them did not make it to our earlier stories written just after returning from our travels.

Picture Perfect Lunenburg, Nova Scotia

January 20, 2023 by Patti 8 Comments
Lunenburg

Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. It truly is picture perfect. So much so that Old Town Lunenburg is an UNESCO World Heritage Site. How many charming seaside fishing villages can make that claim? It was just five months ago, after spending 10 days on Prince Edward Island, Canada, that we made our way to Lunenburg. Little did we know we’d be mesmerized.

The Canadian Potato Museum & North Cape

November 5, 2022 by Patti 6 Comments

A potato museum? We didn’t know there was such a place, but then sometimes the best part of traveling is finding the unexpected. That’s just what happened while we were exploring Prince Edward Island. We discovered the Canadian Potato Museum. Who knew? Can you guess what’s on the lunch menu?

The Inspiration Behind Anne of Green Gables

September 24, 2022 by Patti 4 Comments

Anne of Green Gables. The iconic novel is deeply rooted in the natural wonders of Prince Edward Island. I remember hiking the Homestead Trail in Cavendish National Park and thinking it was as if we were walking through the pages of Anne of Green Gables. It was picture postcard perfect.

Kensington, Fried Chicken & Cinnamon Rolls

August 31, 2022 by Patti 5 Comments

Kensington, PEI. It’s a small blink of a town with a 4-way intersection and a population of maybe 2,000. The neighborhood streets are lined with cozy homes and almost every home has an immaculate garden bursting with glorious colors. It’s the same all over PEI. Some, are extraordinary and we were in awe of the time spent in maintaining such a yard. Kensington is just a few miles from Summerside where we based ourselves for ten days while exploring the island.

The Floating Boardwalk of Greenwich National Park

August 21, 2022 by Patti 11 Comments

The floating boardwalk of Greenwich National Park can be found on Prince Edward Island. It was the first adventure we set our sights on after arriving on PEI. We settled in to our accommodations for the next ten days and got busy mapping our path of adventure.

The Canadian Border & New Destinations

July 18, 2022 by Patti 9 Comments

It’s been a few years, four to be exact, since we found ourselves crossing the Canadian Border. Our return is a bit overdue. But, as we all know, life and pandemics get in the way of making plans. Do you still make plans? I’ve pretty much given up on the concept of long-range plans. Too many changes, too often, in this new normal.

  • We encourage all of our readers to wear a mask, get vaccinated and stay safe while on the road.
