We are planning a road-trip from Calgary, Alberta to Prince Edward Island in Aug this year.


When I was a kid, we took one of our family's infamous cross country trips with no RV and no camper. We had the family pickup truck, furniture pads, and sleeping bags. We set out from southern California and headed across the states and up into Nova Scotia aiming for Prince Edward Island and saw all the sights in between including the Bay of Fundy. Prince Edward Island turned out to be too much for us because of the bugs. A big spray wagon came by as we were trying to get to bed and couldn't do anything to cut down on the mosquitoes. We couldn't catch that morning ferry fast enough.

We slept on the ground every night. A few nights we slept in the laundromats because the rain destroyed our bedding and we had to clean it up.

Where there's a will, there's a way.

And those trips are the ones that make lasting memories.
