It'll be interesting to see how the border crossings work.

We're taking a 30 foot RV onto two different ferries - I'm looking forward to driving into the ships.

We're going to see some iconic places like the Cabot Trail, Peggys Cove, etc.

I know I won't get my 8 hours sleep during the trip. I hope things stay stable.

I'm sensitive to changes in water and I often have stomach issues wherever I travel, even if it's just a couple of hours away from home. Bottled water helps but getting exposed to local water is inevitable when eating at restaurants (salad, ice cubes, etc)
Have a lovely trip! I've been along the Cabot Trail and to Peggy's Cove once, too. If you like them, scallops are a real treat there. You can also find a delicious seafood chowder, which is similar to New England clam chowder, but with various seafood (including scallops). I confess I ate so many scallops that I started to get a reaction on my face, that included little blisters. But that was just me, and I truly ate a mess load of scallops. Normally I'm just fine eating them.

If you go out on the sea, I hope you spot an Atlantic puffin. They're adorable!
Thanks for this!
