The jouney so far
 

I would like to thank all for all the help and support as we fly to Canada tommorow. Suitcases are packed and I wanted to share the journey so far. I was diagnosed with a rare cancer just over 12 months ago and during my treatment which started Jan 4 08 my darling husband bought me a lap top and told me to plan our reccie to Canada. So a wee bit emotional and half way down a bottle of white wine i am writing this so proud to say we are landing tommorow in Toronto weekend in Niagara falls ( he wants to do the whole superman bit) flying with west jet on Monday to nova scotia where where we have 18 days to float about and get a feel for the place. I am a nurse and hubb works at university i.t. geeky bod finishing off with a weekend in Toronto. Once again you have all supported us in all the advice, kindess and honesty to date and for this i thank you x

Take care of yourself and each other - God how Jerry Springer.

Hope you have a great trip, I'm sure you will love it (both Toronto and NS).

I'll reply to your last PM and let you have our details etc. OH is still on for meeting about the nursing (also his Director of Nursing could have a chat too) . Hope to meet you whilst you are here.

Have a fantastic time and if you are around our way and have time for a coffee, call and say hello.
The weather is looking good for you, back to normal hot and sunny after the worst summer for many years.

Hi and thanks for the replies, well I have just woke up in Nova Scotia arrived late last night and managed to drive out of the airport yipeeeeee. First thing to hit me was the lovely fresh air and my husband said it was the smell of the trees. Had a few glasses of Clancy's last night which hit the spot lovely. Heading out after breakfast to who knows where :D

I can tolerate the ones from Safeway although they're loaded with fat. :eek:

I would love to find "a" Chorley cake let alone a decent one. ;)

Re: The jouney so far

Re: The jouney so far
 

I used to make Eccles when I was at school doing Domestic Science so I suppose I ought to get baking, but mind you that was many moons ago and I don't think I have the light touch with pastry any more :unsure: :)

Hi Guys

quick update - having a ball. Left Halifax and went to Brule for a 2 day chill out truly beautiful and amazing sunsets along with some whopping mosquito bites. Every one really friendly and helpful keep giving us fresh veg, had a look round tamagouchie. Went over to Prince Edward Island on the confederation bridge. Came back today on the ferry had a look round New Glasgow. Well thats it for now - reassurance to those who are worrying re driving accomodation etc dont we have nothing booked not spent 1 night in the car yet and driving is fine. Heading up cape breton way tommorow.:thumbsup:

Re: The journey so far - loving nova scotia
 

Glad to hear you are having a ball - cept for the mozzy bites - OUCH!

Re: The journey so far - loving nova scotia
 

Great to hear you are having a good time. Did you travel in the opposite direction from Brule out of Tatamagouche and see the sites along the coast? My daughter goes to riding lessons on Brule and this year it is bad for mosquitoes, unusualy wet and cooler in the evening than normal. Had you been around the 7th Sep you would have seen all the camera/tv crews filming for "The Week the Women Went".

You should find the Cabot Trail stunning and worth the drive and it is set to be warm and sunny for the long back holiday weekend.

Re: The journey so far - loving nova scotia
 

Hi paradise found we did the coast drive along the coast, looking forward to heading out onto the cabot trail this morning after breakfast. I hoping the mosquitoes are not looking for me up there. Not sure where we will be on the 7th as we have nothing set in stone just making it up as we go along. I know we are in Halfiax for the 3rd as its our wedding anniversary. Sorry to all in Tatamagouche for calling it tamagouche (i am daft)

Well Cape Breton was amazing and the friendliest people i have ever met and my family are Irish so that is saying something. Loved it up there, we then headed down along the lighthouse trail very beautiful stayed in Lunnenberg. We are heading for Halfiax later. Despite the rain we are loving Nova Scotia just want to get home get the dog get a job and get back here asap.
