good morning all

7:52 am

bichon

hi nan

7:52 am

Scrabbler

Hi Nan. You are up early.

7:52 am

Scrabbler

Hi Bichon.

7:52 am

cybernan

jet lag hangover :)

7:52 am

Scrabbler

Where were you?

7:53 am

cybernan

in the maritimes for the last 2 weeks

7:53 am

bichon

hi Scrabs

7:54 am

Scrabbler

Oh, my friend is in Newfoundland right now.

7:54 am

cybernan

we didn't get that far -- parts of NS, NB and PEI

7:55 am

cybernan

lots of great experiences, including our first hurricane

7:55 am

Scrabbler

Dorian came up that way?

7:57 am

cybernan

yes -- we were in Halifax at the time - not in an area that was badly hit, though. The Annapolis Valley was hit hard as was parts of PEI. Lots of areas with no power or water for 3 or 4 days and lots of trees down.

7:57 am

Scrabbler

Oh, dear.

7:59 am

hokie carla

hey y'all. not liking these 55 r's. I have 34 and feel like I've exhausted my guesses.

7:59 am

cybernan

the maritimers are a hardy lot and go out of their way to help in an emergency. We had a great time in spite of soeme of the attractions we had intended to visit being closed.

8:00 am

hokie carla

how strong was it by the time it reached up there?

8:00 am

bichon

We were on PEI when the hurricane warning came. Too bad, was really nice before that. We had to leave for NB. It was no better here so we drove to Maine. No better there, so we drove home

8:00 am

Scrabbler

I would like to get up there some day--drive to Maine and then north.

8:00 am

hokie carla

We went to Acadia in 2016. Beautiful there.

8:01 am

hokie carla

have not been to that part of Canada

8:01 am

cybernan

Cavendish beach was particularly hard hit, Bichon as well as St. Peters

8:01 am

Scrabbler

I was in Acadia NP in Sept 2017 and I cannot wait to return for hiking and kayaking.

8:01 am

hokie carla

We camped at a KOA right on the water. So nice.

8:02 am

bichon

We really loved our trip there.

8:02 am

Scrabbler

We stayed in a B & B in Bar Harbor. That place was so crowded and busy.

8:03 am

cybernan

it is a beautiful part of Canada -- not for city lovers, but great if you love the seashore and rural settings.

8:03 am

Scrabbler

Yay

8:04 am

hokie carla

Bar Harbor was not super crowded when we were there.

8:05 am

bichon

We ater great lobster

8:05 am

Scrabbler

We arrived on the Friday of Labor Day weekend and it quieted down Monday evening when people departed. Also, those cruise ships drop off 5000 people for the day.

8:06 am

Scrabbler

We mountain biked on the carriage roads. What a treat to not worry about traffic.

8:06 am

hokie carla

Wow, didn't realize cruise ships stop by there. We were there in the middle of summer and I don't remember it being crazy.

8:06 am

cybernan

oh yes -- lobster and fresh scallops -- something we don't get here.

8:07 am

Scrabbler

A waiter at that Irish restaurant told us about the incoming tourist ships.

8:08 am

hokie carla

We rode our bikes on the carriage roads as well. I did find it kind of annoying that they weren't marked that well and we couldn't find a map, so we rode down this big downhill only to come to a trail marked private so then we had to go back up that big hill.

8:08 am

cybernan

cruise ships - a blight on the face of the earth (unless I'm on one) :D

8:09 am

Scrabbler

We had troubles too, because there was a detour which was not well-marked so we went on the road on the east side of Jordan Pond and I thought I would get flattened by a truck.

8:09 am

hokie carla

I think that would be my only complaint about that park

8:10 am

Scrabbler

We got an early start every morning so we could find parking as parking is at a minimum. And we went to the western part of MDI for kayaking one day.

8:12 am

bichon

I remember climbing a very steep hill with hand bars attached in the rock. Son scampered up while the 3 of us barely made it

8:12 am

hokie carla

We didn't ever have trouble with parking

8:13 am

Scrabbler

Beehive Trail has lots of iron bars and ladders. Scary but we did it.

8:13 am

Scrabbler

Which month were you there, carla?

8:14 am

hokie carla

we were there mid-July

8:14 am

Scrabbler

Wow, during the busy season.

8:15 am

hokie carla

yeah, you would think

8:15 am

Scrabbler

126 left and I must get ready for my day. Enjoy the day.

8:16 am

hokie carla

it is a long trip for us, but we stopped at Hershey on the way up which I'd always wanted to do.

8:16 am

hokie carla

114 left here. am definitely not finishing in one go.
