Bluenose Inn And Suites Halifax

... to the airport is expensive and we make it onto our A320 to Ottawa. Lunch is at the airport and the food seems ultra ordinary after all of the cruise dining. We arrive in Calgary, are picked up at the airport then invited to a fabulous dinner at our daughters place.. Now; that is good food. <br> <br> <br>

... on tragic events that Halifax was a part of. After the Titanic sank, the effort to recover the bodies of the victims originated here. Many of the bodies that were recovered were buried in Halifax. As part of the effort, a fair amount a wooden flotsam was recovered. This included parts of the stairway, a complete deck chair and other trim pieces. Some of these were carved into utilitarian items before they eventually found their way to the museum. The most ...

... of things to do the following day.<br><br>Speaking of busses, we hopped onto another one which took us back to the Chebucto Inn. Ted and Marlene had returned while we were away and a very jolly reunion took place then and there. Marlene beckoned us all to come near and asked if we smelled anything? Seems she had been wearing the same set of clothes for the last five days and wanted for her family to enjoy the outcome. We had dinner at the Inn, which was excellent, and then ...

... and got some food, checked out the ship, and watched as we pulled away. As we were pulling away an older guy came up to me and started asking me about the patch I had on, and it turns out it was Gary Christofani, the guy Dad knows from the Bank board. Pretty random. It&#8217;s pretty weird to think how we are about to be in the middle of the ocean with nothing around for 8 or 9 days. Right now we are watching Entourage on my computer and waiting for ...

... closing the ceremonies. We had a phenomenal and unobstructed hillside view of the parade - truly wonderful! It was great to share the day with extended family.<br><br>Afterwards Jackie's dad and sister-in-law took us over to the community of Eastern Passage where he grew up and still has family and friends We toured the boardwalk, snooping in a few shops and enjoying a few beers at Boondocks along the shores.<br><br>What a nice way to end our Halifax visit!

... about an hour they let me in but only after asking where I was going, who was I staying with, what my intentions were in the country!!<br><br>I met with Paulina and her son and cruised around Halifax for 5 days, The town has a lovely feel to it - bit oldy worldy. People seem to run on a differnet pace here but it definately has a lovely vibe to it. Its quite a clean in the downtown area which is quite small but very attractive ...

... again overnight. Well I have to say I have never shoveled snow in my life and what began as a novelty soon became not quite so much fun. Was there a clause about snow removal in the house sitting contract? If there was it was in very small print!! The snow plough had been out overnight and cleared the road, but of course the snow has to be put somewhere so it was piled up on the kerb, now every household has by law to clear the 'sidewalk' sorry been here too long... anyway we ...

... on earth. Awesome! Next we took the ferry to Newfoundland, which was rather nice. Then got on a bus and managed to make our way to Gros Morne national park. We stayed in a SUPER CREEPY HOSTEL that used to be a hospital in the 50s. We actually slept in the ward and there were just two other girls staying there (on a different floor too), and the owners didn't stay there the night. Did some ...

Grrr.... I arrived late, left late and spent more than half my time either sleeping or at the airport. What a waste of a visit to this beautiful city! I arrived at the Rhuland's around 3pm and had time to unwind with Meghan over warm tea and unpack my suit. Meghan had to work and Angus had plans with his girlfriend, so when Lois returned from Cape Breton it was ...

Business class, that's where I'm sitting, by the window too! This will all be definately worth it if my bag's at Mirabel. Had 2 seats to myself for a short while but then some guy couldn't handle the smoking section (Wow, how long ago does THAT sound?!?) so he came, no prob. Lotsa room here, quieter too. Fairly secluded as well. <br>Had to fill out a declaration ...
