Finally able to have Internet for a few days without being in a hurry. I'll fill you in from the daily log I've been keeping each day as we traveled.
NOVA SCOTIA TRIP
September 7, 2010
Day 1
We departed 2 PM stopping off in Fort Lawn, SC to get a price on remolding the bath in the motor home. We then traveled to Flying J Travel Center just outside Rock Hill for fuel and propane. Discovered that I did not put in the drop hitch on the motor home so carried the Motor home to Wal-Mart and left it while we made the return trip home to get the hitch. Arrived back at Wal-Mart at 10 PM, spent the night there.
Day 2
Travel on to Camping World in Statesville, NC to get new tires on the motor home, we got away from there at 1:30 and traveled on to Harrisonburg, VA where we again spent the night in Wal-Mart parking lot. Thank goodness for Wal-Mart they save a lot on campground fees. The old dogs are tried tonight looking forward to a good night’s rest.
Day 3
No Internet again last night I hope to get the blog posted soon. We had breakfast at McDonalds in Woodstock, VA, and then traveled on to Middletown, NY for a nights rest at Sam’s. (Wally’s Big Brother). These traveling days are rough when you’re under the weather. Sure plan on looking for a clinic tomorrow.
Day 4
Good night’s rest at least better than the night before, had to sleep in the recliner last night in order to be able to breathe. Definitely I’m going to look for that Doctor today as we travel. Breakfast guess where, at the old farmers place. Found email so I sent an update but nothing on the blogs.
Traveled to WestFord, MA for lunch at ChiIi’s and asked the waitress about an Emergency Clinic, she didn’t know one but said CVS across the street had a “Minute Clinic” so I went to see a NPA. And discovered I was sick and she gave me medicine and said if I got worse go to a clinic in Nova Scotia as they have better clinics in Canada. Tonight I feel maybe a tad better but we made it to Augusta, Maine for the night again with Wally.
Day 5
After a good night’s rest we had breakfast at Denny’s, yes one day without McDonalds. We traveled on to Saint John’s, NB arriving around 4 PM their time. (Atlantic Time Zone) Enjoyed the evening watching College Football, thank goodness for Dish on the road. Tomorrow we will arrive at the Campground in Amherst, NS which will be our home base while in Nova Scotia.
Day 6
Breakfast in the Motor Home and then to church at Edith Avenue United Baptist Church in Saint John, NB. We had lunch in the MH and continued on our journey to Amherst, NS. We stopped at McDonalds for a snack and break. We continue to NS stopping at the visitor’s Center for information to assist us during our stay here. We traveled on to Wal-Mart in Amherst for the evening. Tomorrow we will travel on to Linwood, NS where we will stay a few days and begin our tour of NS.
Day 7
We finally had the opportunity to do some touring this afternoon. We left Amherst for Linwood (not even on map) where we are staying a few days, and yes, internet.
Believe me this was a trying afternoon as we travel on what they called a road, but believe me I don’t know of any roads in South Carolina that would compare. It was suppose to be a scenic route to a fishing village which when we arrived you couldn’t tell. We continued on to the Fortress of Louisbourg, A National Historic Site. It was France’s most important stronghold and seaport (during the War of Spanish Succession) in what is now Atlantic Canada.
Well we arrived at 4:45 and the last tour was at 4:30; two and half hours to see nothing. We left disappointed but glad we didn’t get to walk the 3 hour tour. We traveled back to the Campground to be ready for tomorrow’s drive of the Cabot Trail. Probably will have to spend at least one night in a motel.
Oh I almost forgot, we took a side trip in Louisbough to Lighthouse Point, on the way out there was a fox in the road and I tried to get his picture as he sat beside the road but by the time I got the Camera ready he went off to the side and I thought in the woods, but Marianne said he just went and sat down on a rock. On the way out he was again beside the road and sat for a pose.
