Yar! Me Sailing Vessel Set Sail Without Me, So I Had To Drive!

I guess our journey begins in Woodstock, ON, on thursday night. We left (Steph's) parents and headed up to Barrie to take care of things at the house and pack up, and then Friday afternoon we headed to (Dave's) parents for the night. Then bright and early on Saturday Morning, we managed to get on the road by 6:15am!

This is what our car looked like!


















After driving for about 7 hours, or more, we found out that somewhere we had made a wrong turn - because the signs ahead of us said Woodstock was coming up, and then Caledonia? - so we had to double check the maps. We THOUGHT we had gone through Quebec already - and we'd been driving for a long time - but I guess EST looks alot like OUEST...

We did stop at Grand Falls in New Brunswick - it was nice, but not anything too great.

















Despite seeing all theses signs - Steph was disappointed that she did not see any wildlife except the black birds on the side of the road...






The new highway going through New Brunswick was nice! It made for good driving without any traffic problems.

And although we thought we had made good time - We finally arrived in Dartmouth at 10:00 pm (Ontario time) <11:oo>

We were just in time to hear (faintly) "Live and Let Die" by Paul McCartney - who was doing a big outdoor concert in Halifax.
