I look forward to reading about your Maritime trip. We took an autumn bus tour of the Maritimes in October 2024 and absolutely loved it. We were at the mercy of the tour schedule so we didn’t see sights you mentioned wanting to see but I’ve written about those we did. I look forward to armchair traveling with you.
I love learning about historical places by traveling there! I’m sure generic tourist routes give them sufficient attention or quality engagement. If I can’t go myself I really like traveling along vicariously with others, so if you go be sure to let us follow along over your shoulder! I especially like the idea of connecting primary sources to places. 😀
Oh and distances in Canada are no joke but the southwest trains you up for the long drive. We are liking our new self drive Tesla. Also consider taking the train! Rail is returning.
Thanks! I'm mapping out a potential trip. Actually making note cards on each of the potential places to visit, starting in Louisbourg and working backward toward Minnesota. I think L'Anse Aux Meadows is too far to go. Looks like you really have to fly there. But certainly Cape Breton, New Brunswick, Quebec, and the Ottawa River Valley! Maybe Georgian Bay on this trip, too. I'll certainly be making a BUNCH of content as I go!
