Today we woke up to overcast weather and some light fog but it didn't deter our enthusiasm for getting down to the waterfront to begin our Tall Ships Tour. We picked up our three day
Boarding Pass and away we went.
The Tall Ships organizing committee were expecting approximately 43 ships so we knew we had a full couple of days ahead of us if we wanted to explore as many as possible.
It takes an up close and personal visit with the ships and their crew members to appreciate t...
Oh my gosh - today we woke up to fog as thick as pea soup - certainly a little disappointing at first.
We headed down to the waterfront again - to see what the day had in store for us. To our surprise and delight - off in the near distance there appeared to be row boats slipping ever so quietly into view. As they came closer we realized it's passengers were dressed in period costumes - we were told it was a re-enactment of the British Navy coming to shore. Some of the row boats had Off...
What a wonderful day today - the sky is blue, the sun is shining and there is no rain in the forecast - yeah! The four of us took a brief tour of the Maritime Museum - I found the Tug Boat exhibit and the explosion of 1917 extremely interesting and informative but didn't have time to see the Titanic display.
Chad & Jackie joined her Dad and his family for a full day of activities and a big lobster feast that evening.
Henry and I met up with my cousin Eric, his wife June and ...

... 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>

Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada swissbear... There is a research center on the site where one can look for the records of ancestors who would have come through that port. Lots of old luggage in the form of leather suitcases, metal shipping chests and so on were on display; we looked in vain to see if Marlene’s suitcase was among them.<br><br>It was the end of the day for FRED, so we took his last run back to the harbour center. We shuffled around there for a while longer watching ferries arrive and depart, a ...
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada andy_n... road surrounded by farmland. We passed on paying an entry fee to experience this.<br><br>Two hours later we were in the Halifax region, greeted with hot, humid, weather. Familiar with many of the places from our house hunting trip in June, I easily found our hotel, and tiredly parked in the lot next to it. I felt weary from the days of travel, but was saddened in a way because the journey was coming to an end. I like the ...
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada robsargeant... 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 ...
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada chamster... down to for a long time: our first air leg for more than a month! It's not that he wasn't having fun but he's just into his plans and air travel. We left the hotel in plenty of time at 7:15am to board the tube for the trip out to Heathrow Airport. Upon arrival we took the travelators to our terminal and checked in for our 11:30am flight without any queueing. The Air Canada fight to Halifax with a stop-over in St John's was only about half full an left a few minutes ...
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada v1213... people there! <br>We're now just north of P.E.I. Had to watch "Sneakers" again. Fortunately I liked it (my 3rd or 4th time). We had some turbulence at one point. Exciting. Um...had my only 2 Heinekens so far (still 1h15 to go).<br>Well, that's my update. Hopefully when I write again, probably for the last time, I'll have my bag.<br><br>Chris Gauvin 4:24 (local time)
