what time is it??

MARITIMES!!
aha, yeah.. it's the kind of night that requires that kind of humor!

we're currently in halifax, having done some serious traveling
we started out in kingston yesterday morning, made our way through quebec (with a huuuge delay on the pont champlain - 2h of unexpected trafficjam), but made it through the rest of quebec with relatively little difficulty

new brunswick was a completely different story

absolutely gorgeous scenery, but the highways? they lie.
signs pointing to gas stations that don't appear
and campgrounds with no actual camping areas
but that's alright, because we were able to stay anyway!
we camped out with the RVs in new brunswick!!
and by camped out, i mean we were way too effing tired after 14h+ of driving, and slept in the car. with our luggage. and our sleeping bags.
it was a verry cozy night

we've made our way from new brunswick to nova scotia, and we're about to enjoy a night out in halifax with Carly, Katherine, Zach, Mitch & Jeff. it's going to be quite the night, spent at the finest bars halifax has to offer!!

see you on the flip side..

finally already!!

it's today!!

seems like we've been waiting forever and it's finally here!
conversely, it seems like our plans from months ago were just yesterday and it's already here!

taking a break from packing right now, about to get back at it (i'll be working in superspeed, considering the little packing that's been done on my end)
we've got snacks, we've got entertainment, we've got portable accommodation
now all i need is to find my travel documents (ahh!!)

we've still got a fairly open itinerary as far as sites to see within provinces
so let us know which places we MUST SEE or restaurants at which we MUST EAT or things we MUST DO while we're in nova scotia, new brunswick & pei
Sarah in oakville has recommended the bottle houses in cap-egmont, pei, as well as kensington's haunted house (with great review)
Ozhen in montreal suggests we see the hopewell rocks in new brunswick

we want to hear from YOU, so keep the suggestions coming!
à la prochaine

ONEMORESLEEP!

Okay! This is it!

We are less than 24 hours away from taking off!
And we have an addition to the team! Please welcome Mel, my best friend and our honorary family member, along for the ride.

Are you ready girls? This is about to get: e p i c !

So far to add to the list of things we'd like to do:
  • split crow bar in Halifax
  • whale-watching in Nova Scotia
  • haunted house in Kensington, PEI

And we're still open to suggestions as to anything else you think we should do!

As for the tasks at hand.. wish us all the best luck in getting 3 girls, their clothes, their tents and sleeping bags, snacks and drinks AND two guitars into my little Stella.

And we'll talk to you again once we're out on the open road!
