We are back in the bay area after a 10,000 mile trip this summer. We enjoyed the Maritimes glad we did it and have no plans to do it again. While the folks we met in Canada we very nice, and the scenery was spectacular, and Tattoo was more awesome than I could imagine, and Peggys Cove was one of my favs. Canada is extremely expensive and after a while it really starts to take its toll on your pocketbook we paid about $6.50 a gal for diesel, the campgrounds are very expensive, our dollar was at par with the Canadian dollar then the taxes WOW 14 to 16%- so as an American I vow to NEVER complain about our taxes again!! To sum it all up its a once in a lifetime experience and I was happy to experience it and very glad to back in the USA!!!!

We are getting ready to do the Christmas tree lot thing we have been doing for the past several years. Next year we are doing a 2 week cruise to Hawaii then our plans are to stay west next summer. Hope your Summer was all it could be!!
