Wrapping Up Our Maritime Adventures: St. Andrews, New Brunswick

In mid-September 2019, we wrapped up our two-and-a-half month sojourn in the Maritimes with a few days in St. Andrews-by-the-Sea, New Brunswick. With a beautiful botanical garden, a sweet downtown, and an intriguing island mansion only accessible at low tide, we had plenty to keep us occupied for a few days. Exploring St. Andrews-By-The-Sea True […]

High And Low Tides: Kouchibouguac And Fundy National Parks

The Bay of Fundy, located in the Canadian province of New Brunswick, boasts the highest tides in the world. Touted as one of the seven wonders of North America, it’s in league with the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Niagara Falls, Yosemite, the Everglades, and Denali. In mid-September of 2019, we headed to Fundy National Park, the […]

Annapolis Royal, Humpback Whales, & Chased By A Hurricane

It’s time to return to the Maritimes! As I mentioned in our last post, we’re finding our way back to ‘normal.’ Part of that means catching up on our travel-related posts before we start roaming again. So return with us, dear friends, to early September of 2019, when we explored the pretty and historic village […]

Colorful Lunenburg, Nova Scotia

One of these days in the not-too-distant future, the world will open up again. When it does, one of the places I would love to return to is Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. In early September of 2019, we spent five idyllic days in this historic, vibrant fishing town. Exactly The Kind Of Place We Enjoy Some […]

Halifax And Peggy’s Cove: Nova Scotia

I don’t mean to give you whiplash, but our blog is heading back to the Maritimes now. We will be in Florida at least through next spring, and I’m determined to get our blog caught up before we get back on the road. (Hope springs eternal, and all that.) Picking up where we left off […]

Looking Back: Peaceful Prince Edward Island

In 2019, we spent an idyllic summer exploring Canada’s Maritime Provinces, followed by a leisurely fall journey down the East Coast of the U.S. It seems like a lifetime ago, and an alternate reality. I’ve been wanting to write about those adventures for almost a year. Instead, my attention has been consumed by surviving the […]

The Magic Of Cape Breton Island: Nova Scotia

I thought that I was going to enjoy writing about our summer and fall adventures and catch up on our blog while spending the winter in Florida dealing with my parents’ home and possessions. But in the past six weeks, I’ve only managed one post. My focus has been on clawing my way through decades […]

In Search Of Puffins: Into The Maritimes

Every year, just for fun, I choose a few critters that I would like to see in our travels. In 2019, on my wishlist were Green Kingfishers (success in South Texas!), Atlantic Puffins, and moose. Our best bet for seeing Atlantic Puffins—and getting close enough to photograph them—was to head to the Maritimes. Of course, […]
