Pirates and privateers. Rum runners and a rum soaked Major. Hikes to the Skyline and to ‎the ‎bottom of the ocean. Dairy farmer fiddlers and cannon in citadels. These were just a few of the ‎surprises when we visited New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island on a driving ‎trip of nearly 3300 miles over 19 days. ‎

The Chapters in this travel book include daily driving directions (and ‎some maps), city and country activities and some restaurant and food suggestions. At the end is an overall itinerary with daily activities and contact information ‎for inexpensive lodging (mostly B&Bs) where we stayed. Also covered ‎are some details of Celtic music and history of these Maritime Provinces, including those pirates, ‎privateers and rum runners. Many of our conversations with locals are also included, as meeting ‎and learning from people is one of the best parts about travel.‎

Over 90 photos woven into the text will give you a sense of the beauty and uniqueness of the ‎delightful Maritimes. There is also a bonus prologue Chapter ‎on Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park where we stopped to hike and break up the driving from ‎New York.‎

This book is all you need to plan a great road trip. You could do all three Provinces as we did ‎or select one or two for a shorter trip. There are also some suggestions on extra activities and ‎driving to extend your trip and where to take driving shortcuts or fly if you want to reduce the ‎miles. ‎
