Re: Nova Scotia

[phantom@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I was going to mention the Cabot Trail and Cape Breton as well.  I travelled the Cabot Trail about 
ten years ago in my VW GTI and it was a blast!  I went in May, just before the big tourist season 
and virtually had the road to myself.  I agree with Mr. Willis in that Baddeck is the perfect home 
base for the Trail, with plenty of B&B's.

If you can, try to make the trip down to Halifax.  It's worth a day touring this wonderful little 
city and the drive to Yarmouth can be nice as well.  It takes quite a bit of time to drive between 
cities in Nova Scotia - probably an entire day from Baddeck to Halifax - but traffic moves at 
relatively high speeds on the highways.

Have fun!
