Pondering vacation plans
Despite the fact that I’m (at least temporarily, based on the latest outlook) out of work we have decided to push on with our summer vacation plans.
Unlike last summer where we logged over 10,000 Kilometers on a trip to Vancouver BC and back this summers trip still involves our RV, but for a much shorter trip to Prince Edward Island on the east coast of Canada, and then down the eastern seaboard of the US to the Boston area, and then westward towards home.
This trip will take us through several notable Canadian cities, many of which I have been to many times before, but not in a tourism aspect, Quebec City being one of the big ones. Our terminus of Charlottetown PEI is a location that I have not visited before, and beyond that the many small towns along the eastern seaboard through Maine and New Hampshire will surely offer up many surprises, excellent scenery, and friendly people, if not big attractions.
Instead of taking 4 weeks for this trip as we did last year this years trip will be 2 weeks. That will give us several additional weeks of vacation time later in the summer or fall to keep our options open to take another short trip or to just sit back and unwind near home, and given the much shorter distance involved with the planned route of this years trip (less then half of last year) we simply don’t need as much time to begin with.
So, the planning begins.
Mark,
Be sure to look me up.
There are some great campgrounds here on PEI, we don’t own a RV but we usually rent one for a week or two every summer at one of our local camp grounds.
I hope to get out flying again this upcoming April, so I’d be happy to take you up for a flight, my treat.

Hey Rob, I almost forgot you lived in PEI!
Email me and we’ll touch base again.
Hi there,
Just happened across you blog and read about your trailer and van (Summer 2007) and towing capacity. It turned up on a search I did. I enjoyed reading a few of your posts, especially since I live in Bowmanville.
I’m curious two (almost) years later how the van/trailer scene has worked for you. How far have your driven with it, mechanical issues, etc. I’m considering something similar.
If your willing to fill me in a little, I’d love to hear from you.
