Aint that so?" I've stated many times that I live on a peninsula..attached to a larger peninsula..that is itself attached to a bigger peninsula again. (province). Roughly 18 miles keeps us from being separated from the common continentals. You can think of us as a bit of Paradise at the end of the road. 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 === Even better, there's a ferry service from Portland, Maine to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia: http://www.newenglandtravelplanner.com/go/me/portland/trans/intl_fy_terminal.html Portland would be an easy 2 day drive for you, 2nd night would be on the ferry. No doubt reservations would be needed for an RV. |

No doubt reservations would be needed for an RV. I went to the 'Make Reservations' site to see what the fare would be and found this: "The Province of Nova Scotia has announced that our contract to provide the ferry service between Yarmouth, Nova Scotia and Portland, Maine will not be renewed for the 2016 season. We would like to thank the people of Nova Scotia, our valued employees, our tourism partners, suppliers and, most of all, our customers who enjoyed sailing on Nova Star during the last two operating seasons. We sincerely appreciate your support." Oh well. I wouldn't have been interested in the overnight going, but the daytime return might have been nice. -- === That's too bad. They used to run out of Bar Harbor, Maine but that's gone also. In the summer of 2005 we spent a month anchored in Bar Harbor and the wake from that boat would just about roll us out of our bunk at night. |
