I would LOVE to do something like that!

I am in Maine and it's chilly. 63 this morning. Feels great!

Another great place; a step back in time to a special place
 

We had the greatest two weeks in Maine.......but here is another great place just up the coastline..........it's all invigorating weatherwise.

At Home With Anne of Green Gables: Canadian Odyssey............

For those of you arm chair travelers who have not been able to escape the heat, here is a nice collection of photos, including some great gingerbread houses, Charlotte Harbor on P.E.I., etc., etc.........ALSO, GORGEOUS PRISTINE EMPTY BEACHES.

Very very picturesque "GREEN" Canadian island with gently rolling hills.......steep cliffs looking down to sea, etc.............you will meet the nicest of people on P.E.I. A slower pace of life. No traffic or congestion.

A favorite place of ours to return to.............plus buy Anne of Green Gables dolls for the grand daughters.......& books. Keep scrolling down to bottom.

Anne of Green Gables still rules Prince Edward Island

http://www.herald-dispatch.com/news/ohio/x1536846355/Prince-Edward-Island-vacation-recalls-Anne-of-Green-Gables

This is a wonderful description of a "special place in time" if you want to experience "yesterday".............

Just a very relaxing getaway to an enchanted peaceful island............in the Canadian Maritimes.......

The newish Confederation Bridge makes it easier to get to.....than in the past.

However, we still enjoyed getting there via Nova Scotia.......taking the ferry boat to Charlotte Harbor, P.E.I.

　

　

　




　

I have a friend here in TV that is now spending a month in the Blue Ridge mountains in NW Georgia. He is absolutely loving it and plans to do it again next year.

Forgot to add the bridge links

PEI's Confederation Bridge


http://www.confederationbridge.com/about/confederation-bridge.html
This bridge connects New Brunswick, Canada to Prince Edward Island........


Otherwise, one can travel from Nova Scotia to P.E.I. via the car ferry....to Charlotte Harbor.

Travel to Prince Edward Island
 

The ferry runs between Caribou, Nova Scotia and Wood Islands, Prince Edward Island, a 75 minute trip.

The Confederation Bridge runs from Port Elgin, New Brunswick to Borden, PEI.
It's about eight miles in length and is called the "fixed link" by locals.

Prior to completion of The Bridge in 1997, access to/from PEI was by ferry only.
I grew up in the Maritimes, and we had a summer cottage on PEI at the time.
There was much controversy and heated debate about connecting PEI to the mainland.
Many locals felt it would ruin the character of the Island.
However many commercial enterprises felt it would be a definite asset in moving quickly on/off PEI.

The controversy about larger golf cups for easier putting in The Villages reminds me of the debates about whether a Bridge to PEI was needed!

Thanks for the local knowledge, Bare. I imagine opening PEI up to the mainland was a serious dilemma for the local residents.

Cooperstown, NY. It's a quaint small town though can get bit noisy with baseball fans. But, love the old hotel, Leatherneck golf course and beautiful lake. Of course it is much cooler there plus good restaurants. Don't mind staying around Finger Lakes area also sipping white wine by the many lakes.

Travel out west, the Gran Canyon and Yellowstone are great in the summer

I plan to stay in northern Michigan…no place is more beautiful! I will be staying in TV in MY house (just bought after renting for 8 years) for the fall, winter, and spring…I will spend the summer in my 'park model'. It's just really a small trailer that I close up when I'm not there. But, it is sooooo beautiful up there in summer….You may look into a park model - very inexpensive!

Yes & it is very relaxing
 

Yes, & it is a relaxing ferry ride to very pretty Charlotte Harbor !
Each time the water has been smooth as glass.......always meet great folks to chat with when on that ferry. Very distinguished looking captains , etc. in white uniforms.....we just love Canada.

We take the Confederation Bridge on the return trip back to Maine via your province of New Brunswick.....after staying on Prince Edward Island.

I neglected to mention that those seeking the cool sea breezes, should not miss Bay of Fundy National Park.

Bay of Fundy * Canada's Natural Wonder * Click above hyperlink; use dropdown menu.

Awesome feeling to walk on the bottom of the sea.....at low tide.......

See map at bottom for better feel of how N.B. relates to N.S. & P.E.I.......

See link above for height of the tides...........

We go from Calais Maine into New Brunswick, Canada; drive north so that we can see the Bay of Fundy where you walk on the bottom of the sea at low tide. Known for the highest & lowest tides in the world. Awesome.

Alma is a small town one can overnight it when touring the Bay of Fundy National Park.

Thereafter, cross over to Nova Scotia**........tour around, go to CAPE BRETON for sure (stunning views) back down again on the Cabot Trail.......then take Nova Scotia ferry to Charlottetown......tour around P.E.I.........very picturesque, good for the soul. We have always loved the Canadian Maritimes.......& if one wants to be comfortable and cool and safe......do go.

**The very first time we ever went to Nova Scotia (great place to tour around), we took the overnight ship from Portland, ME. to Yarmouth & then drove around. That ship is in mothballs now.

But, nicer to just drive through New Brunswick to Bay of Fundy
National Park, then cross over to Nova Scotia, Cape Breton.......Prince Edward Island & then take the bridge back.

Great road trip if you have 3 weeks + for leisurely New England/Canada trip.

Autumn is also beautiful.

At the end of the trip, we take the Confederation Bridge from P.E.I. back to New Brunswick, Canada.......back down to Maine seacoast..........Eastport, Bar Harbor, Schoodic Point, Camden, Boothbay Harbor, LL BEAN in Freeport Maine etc., etc...........

Can't beat a cool sea breeze after the oppressive heat of summer.

Great escape for sure.........

Best of both worlds
 

We recently downsized in the villages and in new england. Cut cost in half in both places. Love TV but also NE. Come and go whenever we want.. Best of both worlds for sure

(very much snipped)
I think there might be a bit of misinformation here. There is no Charlotte Harbor up there. perhaps you meant Charlottetown The ferry goes between Caribou and Wood Island, as Barefoot said.
