The preparation for a vacation is almost as
exhilarating as the vacation itself. I love printing out the tickets and
confirmations while thinking about how much fun I will have on vacation. I
think that some of the best destinations in the world are located in the Canada.
So I am continuing my tour across Canada. When
you want to plan a vacation contact me!
Prince Edward Island is
Canada's smallest province, nestled in the North Atlantic between the warm
waters of the Northumberland Strait and the Gulf of St Lawrence. It has a
suitably small population, but one that is proud of its land. There is even a
local saying that to be a true Prince Edward Islander you have to have been
born here. Yet Prince Edward Islanders enthusiastically welcome visitors, happy
to share with them some of their delicious home-grown produce, such as the
island's famed new potatoes, or the abundance of tasty lobster.
Life on Prince Edward Island is a way of life most people could get used to.
Even
entering Prince Edward Island is elating. Confederation Bridge, the longest
bridge in Canada and the longest bridge over ice-covered waters worldwide,
connects this island province with Canada's mainland, dramatically stretching
far into the distance over shimmering blue waters.
Once
you enter Prince Edward Island, the countryside proves as memorable as this
overpass. The entire island seems plunged in red: red soil, red sand and, in
autumn, an incredible array of reds transform the island's foliage. Since this
province is an island, it is also surrounded by wonderful sandy beaches and
terrific, lofty cliffs, from the rugged North Cape to the pretty bays around
Prince Edward Island National Park.

We came off the road of the last tour very inspired to just keep playing, so we went to Canada.
