Day 7

Up early this morning (0610) so we can get an early start as today we
will get to see the grandkids. No problem getting Ruby out of bed this
day. Left KOA campground at 0745 and took a different route this time.
Instead of going through Montreal we stayed to the south through
Valleyfield. Its a great way to go, nice scenery and a lot less
traffic. Not much traffic when we first hit the 401 but it certainly
picked up after. Due to the Labour Day holiday there wasn't much large
truck traffic but there was lots of other traffic especially as we
approached Toronto. Even with all the traffic we made good time and
arrived at Noel's at 1615. It is great to see all of them again, the
grandkids were really excited. Noel and Tammy had a great supper
prepared for us (BBQ ribs, corn, oven roasted potatoes, etc). We set
up the RV in their garden for tonight and will head out to our place
in the morning after seeing Damien off to school .

Day 6

Its another beautiful sunny morning - we are certainly hitting the good weather. Spent the day in Montreal with Donnie and Doris - what a nice solarium they have on there house - Kool. Down to Old Port, Montreal to listen to some music, watch the busker's and stroll around. Went to Scaroler's (an Italian restaurant)for supper. The food there is unbelieveable - never tasted anything like it before. Back to Donnie's after supper to finish up our visit. Thanks guys for the wonderful day and for being our tour guides - your great friends. Back at the KOA campground at 0945. Off to bed as we have a long drive tomorrow and we want to get on the road early.

Day5

Another beautiful sunny morning. Left Le Rayon de Soleil campground at
0900. Lots of traffic today. Arrived at KOA South campground in
Montreal at 1420. Phoned Donnie and Doris (good friends of ours) to
let them know where we were. They came put to see us at 1720 and we
had a great supper and visit together. It was good to see them again.
They left for home at 2200. We are looking forward to visiting their
place and spending the day with them tomorrow.

Day 4

Another nice warm sunny morning. Left Vacationland RV Park at 0900.
Quite the bridge coming off the island - 13 kms long. Driving all day
except for the occassional break. Pulled into Camping Le Rayon De
Soleil in Saint-Alexadre de Kamouraska, QC (don't ask me to pronunce
it) for the night at 1900. Nice park. Driving for 10 hours and went
over 700 kms but we only got 400 kms or so to go tomorrow to get to
our campground in Montreal. A long day but we gained a hour because of
the time zone so that will give Ruby some of her sleep back lol.

Day 3

0700 - sunny and 15 c
Left park at 1000 for the day to do some exploring. Visited 'Ripley's Believe It or Not' , wax Museum' and 'Cow Creamery' where ice cream is made. Good tasting ice cream too. Went downtown Charlottetown and did some strolling on the harbour boardwalk. Oh ya, Ruby found a place to buy another purse - I guess she needs another new one lol. Went to 'New Glasgow Lobster Suppers' at 1700 where Ruby had her feed of lobster. Very warm and sunny all day (24) - we certainly hit the good weather. Back at the RV at 1900. It will be a travel day tomorrow as we want to get as close as we can to Montreal to spend most of Saturday and all of Sunday with Donnie and Doris.

Day 2

Arrived in North Sydney at 0700 (nst) to a beautiful sunny morning.
While driving from N Sydney to the PEI ferry we had a lot of trouble
with drivers passing us at the end of the passing lanes and forcing us
to hit the brakes a few times to avoid from going onto the shoulder.
Oh well they'll learn to drive as well as Newfoundlanders one of these
days lol. We arrived at the PEI ferry at 1115. The ferry left at
1230 and we arrived in PEI at 1400. Janine and John were suppose to
meet us there but they had trouble with their car and couldn't make
it. Too bad as we were looking forward to spending a couple of days
with them. What a great trip across to PEI, sunny and very warm and
there soft serve is not bad either. We arrived at Vacation Land RV
Park at 1345 and set up. A beautiful park - very clean. Went for a
ride after supper. PEI is very clean with everything mowed but there
roads are rough in spots and very narrow. All in all a good day.

On the way

Left H.E.W. Resort in Reidville (owned and operated by a lovely
couple) at 1315 headed for Port Aux Basque. Had a great trip out with
a few showers in spots but very little wind. Lost the 2 tail lights
off the car dolly, they shook out of the rubber mounts. Might have
something to do with the smooth roads lol. Arrived in Port Aux Basque
at 1700 and checked in at Marine Atlantic. Ab picks us up there and
took us to their home where Dood had a great turkey supper ready for
us. My what good friends we have. After supper the 4 of us went down
to the wharf where a band was playing. Wouldn't you know Ruby found a
spot to buy some more xmas gifts there. Ab and Dood came back to our
RV for a chat before leaving at 2130. Thanks Ab and Dood for a great
meal and a lovely evening. We got on the Caribou at 2230 and are
currently waiting for her to sail at 0030.
