    Gayle, Erin, Jim, and I hired a driver to take us around PEI during our Cruise excursion day. I…read morealso wanted to add New Brunswick to the list of Canadian place that I have visited, so taking the Confederation Bridge and briefly setting foot in the Loyalist Province. That leaves Newfoundland and Nunavut as the only Canadian "states" I haven't visited yet, of which Gayle advises that I'm on my own. It cost me CDN 47 and it was well worth it. It's a long bridge and although the scenery was a bit underwhelming, I loved the ride, the architecture, and learning a bit of history from our guide. The Bridge opened in 1997 and I'm sure it was a real game changer for PEI. As for the "Drive Through" Province of New Brunswick, maybe a trip from from PEI to Nova Scotia would help add to my appreciation of these parts.

    We visited the Confederation Bridge, which is the only road connection between Prince Edward Island…read moreto the east and New Brunswick to the west. Although we didn't actually go onto the bridge, as a part of our excursion from our cruise we were able to stop in right at the beginning of the Confederation Bridge. This bridge is quite beautiful. The bridge is only two lanes, so one for each direction. This eight mile bridge spans the Northumberland Strait, and is part of the Trans-Canada Highway. As you can see from the photos, the water was a beautiful blue. There is a toll for this bridge, but the toll is charged only one way (leaving Prince Edward Island). This bridge is also considered an engineering marvel in Canada. If you happen to be visiting this area, it is worth the visit to go to the park on the Prince Edward Island ending/beginning of the bridge. You can get some great views of the bridge. If the weather is good, you can really get some great distance shots as well. For my visit here with the excursion, it was a fairly clear day with temperatures in the upper 60s and low 70s (this was on October 24, 2017). Enjoy your visit in Prince Edward Island and the Confederation Bridge. I know I did.

    Instead of driving across the Confederation Bridge from PEI to Nova Scotia and across the province…read moreto Cape Breton the staff at our hotel suggested that we take the ferry to save on gas, time, and energy. We were assured that it wasn't going to be a busy day and that we didn't need to make reservations prior to arriving at the ferry. We got there pretty early, paid at the booth (I believe we were charged $84 as one vehicle instead of how many passengers we had), and then proceeded to park the car in the lane we were told and wait until boarding. In addition to personal vehicles tractor trailers and others loaded with lumber used the ferry as well. We saw a small ferry terminal on the side (equipped with a small cafe, washrooms, and wifi) but weren't sure when we'd be boarding and didn't want to risk it. Turns out (from reading the other review) that an announcement is made inside the terminal prior to boarding. It was a tight fit for our rental Camry down the ramp to where we parked on the ferry. I can't imagine what it must've been like for larger vehicles like pickup trucks. I believe there was an elevator to take you up to the deck where seating was but there was also a set of stairs. Only one level was open for seating when we were on the ferry. The upper deck where it said Cows was located wasn't open. We knew the food and beverages offered on the ferry would be expensive but it's still always a shock to see the prices. Since it was a nice day out sitting outside was quite pleasant but too far for the wifi signal.

    Already cross the Confederation Bridge into PEI? Take the ferry back!…read more Adding a memory to our adventure, we opted to take the ferry from PEI to Nova Scotia. It has 9 departures from the Wood Islands Terminal. Our hotel was quick to make our reservations for the time we wanted. This was important as they board reservations first. If you happen to arrive early, there is a terminal with concessions, restrooms and wifi. They are equipped with plenty of seating to accommodate the awaiting passengers. They will make an announcement in the terminal for guests to return to their vehicles for boarding. Their process was quick and efficient. Once the cars around you are parked you are able to get out of the car to make your way up deck levels. Aboard the ferry they have many amenities to offer. Concessions, restrooms and a concierge to help with hotel or dining options in Nova Scotia. You can also stand out on deck and watch the waves pass by. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. It was a nice option to have on our return back to the States.
