Day 84 - Saturday, August 23 - Homeward Bound!

This morning we woke up to sunshine, first time in a while.  This is promising to be a good day.  We are on our way to Kelowna to hopefully meet Ken and Dianne Riley for lunch and a visit.  We are anxious to get home now that we are so close!  

Our travels today will be short but beautiful.  We are driving through Greenwood and Midway and the scenery is exquisite - of course it helps that the sun is shining. 



Just firmed up plans for lunch and we are meeting at Costco.  We had a very nice visit and lunch and gave Ken the Fiddling CD we got for him at the Red Shoe Pub in Mabou in Cape Breton.  He was very pleased as he loves good fiddle music. 

Well we will soon be home and I must say we have had a fantastic journey.  Everyone should take the opportunity to travel our beautiful country.  

What are some of things that I will miss about our journey?  
The Sussex Golden Ginger Ale - I have become addicted to it!
Scotsburn butter, ice cream and milk
The music and the Ceidihls
PEI the gentle island and it's peacefulness
The fresh seafood and magnificent oysters
The politeness and laid back attitude of the friendly Maritimers

Our favourite places?
Baddeck
Digby
Old Montreal

What are some of the things that we won't miss?
The narrow, rough, shoulder less roads on the scenic routes
The directional signs hidden behind trees and shrubs
The lack of signs
And the high sales tax

But we loved it all and hope to visit Newfoundland one day.  

Home Sweet Home!

AND THE PRINCESS!


THE END!
