Well...if you ever feel the urge to travel on a fast cat ferry...come on
down! We'll show you the world's highest tides as part of the deal.

Those are very nice ferries. Traveled from Barcelona to Majorca on one.
I am maybe going to go to Bay of Fundy late
April or 2nd week of May. Any problem with lodging, and transport?
Probably be in a rental car. Any pointers?

That time of year is a bit early. You could have cool damp weather and
most of the tourist type accommodations and attractions don't open until
the Victoria Day Weekend. (this year May 20/22)
If you are near Halifax, you should find lots of choice in hotels and the
bars are still lively with the University crowd...at least the ones not
studying for exams. We have a nice casino if you like to gamble your money
away.

Saint John, New Brunswick would be a smaller, lower key comparison.
Where would you be spending nights?


Always wanted to see the big tidal bore. Have to be in Roanoke for the
Godson's first communion on May 6th. So figured take the shuttle to Boston
and rent a car and drive up to NS. As to Casino's, I like to play cards,
and use the poker rooms at Tahoe, but being a person who grew up in the SF
bay area, I haev spent a lot of time in Reno. In our younger days, we used
to drive up Friday afternoon, party all night and return home on Saturday.
Then sleep. And having a degree in engineering, I can figure the table
odds. Not going to cost the casino money.
