One of the Disney ships makes a Canadian Coastline Cruise leaving from New York with stops at St. John and Halifax. But, almost $6000 for the two of us for only five days seems a bit excessive. I'm thinking it would be much cheaper and about as much fun to RV it up there. It's only about 1150 miles - two days travel time, staying off the toll roads. Wonder if there's a ferry from St. John's to Halifax. Could be fun. http://tinyurl.com/juhmeno -- Ban liars, tax cheats, idiots, and narcissists...not guns! |

The Cabot Trail is claimed to be one of the premier motorcycle destinations in North America If I had a $250000 motorhome, I could put a lift and platform to haul the bike on the back of it. The trailer frame isn't strong enough to hang 550lbs off the ass end. A friend and I took our motorcycles from here up to Acadia National Park, with all the stops in-between. Took about two weeks. Great trip, except for having to completely unpack everything and lay it all out for Canadian customs when we went to visit Montreal. -- Ban liars, tax cheats, idiots, and narcissists...not guns! |

No doubt reservations would be needed for an RV. |
