Day 19: Friday, August 15, 2008
Dover-Foxcroft, ME to Middletown, NY

Well, the babbling brook did have a detrimental effect on Daryl as he had to keep getting up to go to the bathroom! I, on the other hand, was able to block it out for the most part. However, I did wake up at 7:20, fully refreshed and ready to go. We packed up the car very carefully ( Read more... )

Day 18: Thursday, August 14, 2008
Dartmouth, NS to Dover-Foxcroft, ME

Daryl woke me up out of a deep sleep by knocking a pop can on the bedside table with his elbow and then I couldn't go back to sleep (see why I ban pop in the bedroom?). I uploaded pics and updated my LJ and then had a nice long, hot shower. It was so nice to have the water drain! ( Read more... )

Day 17: Wednesday, August 13, 2008
Peggy's Cove, Halifax and Dartmouth, NS

So I swear I got new bug bites last night from that bed. Seriously. It was gross! I had a junky sleep cause of the fear of icky things biting me and also cause Daryl had pulled off all the covers and thrown them on the floor. Tall men and double beds apparently don't mix. We ( Read more... )

Day 16: Tuesday, August 12, 2008
Albert Bridge, NS to Dartmouth, NS

We slept much better on our non-deflating new mattress and only woke up at 6:30ish when it started to rain. It was only a 5 minute shower so we didn't feel forced to get up until 8:15. As we were packing up, it really started to come down so we just started throwing things in the car ( Read more... )

Day 15: Monday, August 11, 2008
Lorneville, NS to Albert Bridge, NS

We both had a really lousy sleep as our air mattress kept deflating on us and had to be reinflated every three hours. I swear I heard a bear last night, but it could have been someone snoring :) We were on our way by 9:30 and followed the coast to New Glascow. We had to stop in New ( Read more... )

 Day 14: Sunday, August 10, 2008 
Summerside, PEI to Lorneville, NS

Today we had a great sleep-in day - until 9:00! We packed our stuff up and checked out and then headed into Summerside to get some groceries. Well, would you believe that NOTHING (not Walmart or Superstore) opens in Summerside until noon?! We were shocked but there was nothing we ( Read more... )

Day 13: Saturday, August 9, 2008
Summerside, PEI

We had a bit of a sleep-in this morning and didn't get up until 8:30. I'm still dreaming weird things about teaching in September - hopefully none of them come true! We left at 9:30 and were half-way to Charlottetown when we realized that I'd forgotten my rings in the bathroom at the motel. We had to ( Read more... )

 Day 12: Friday, August 8, 2008
Summerside, PEI

Yay for comfy motel beds! I slept ok although I did have a weird dream where I was teaching a class about prime numbers and then I had to confiscate two kids' gameboys! We got up at 8 and were on our way to explore the centre part of PEI at 9. Today we went on the Blue Heron Coastal Drive. As we were ( Read more... )

 Day 11: Thursday, August 7, 2008
Fundy National Park, NB to Summerside, PEI

I had a rotten sleep last night as I kept dreaming that it was raining too hard to pack up the tent or else we'd slept in too late and had missed the low tide. When we finally got up for good, it was at 8 and we just wanted to get out of there so we packed up as quickly as ( Read more... )

 Day 10: Wednesday, August 6, 2008
Mactaquac, NB to Fundy National Park, NB

We slept relatively well last night as the campsite was really quiet and there was no one around us. We woke up at 9:00 and were on the road by 10. We stopped at the Mactaquac Dam which was pretty cool before we left the river valley. We headed into Fredericton and did a self ( Read more... )
