2 weeks and 4 days to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Today, I’m in Charlottetown on our way down south again on my second last cruise before coming home.

Last cruise Nathan (my bro) met me in New York (hence the photos) and sailed with the ship up to Montreal. First port after New York was New London. There’s not a great deal to do there so we did a tour to the local Aquarium, which is like a mini sea world. I absolutely fell in love with Beluga Whales, they are so beautiful!! (see photos)

In Boston we did a tour out to Cambridge to see Harvard University. Hurricane Kyle was due to hit that afternoon so consequently the Captain decided not to sail that night and we ended up having an overnight in Boston, which meant we would miss our next port, Bar Harbour the next day. Overnights are relished when we get them which is like never, so we had a fun night and made the most of it.

Next we arrived in Canada in St John. There, we did a highlights tour, went out to see the reversing rapids and later walked around town. In Halifax, Nathan, Sokil and I were very lucky to go on a limo tour which took us around town and out to Peggy’s Cove to see the lighthouse. What a way to sight see in style!! Being driven around in a limo was very cool.

In Sydney, we did a scenic tour out of town to the surrounding areas. At this time of year, their Fall, the changing colour of the leaves is truly beautiful. On our tour we heard stories of how people have at times flown to Sydney, Nova Scotia thinking it was Sydney, Australia…. Are people really that dumb???

In Charlottetown on Prince Edward Island, Nathan and I did a scenic tour that took us out to where Lucy Maud Montgomery lived. Lucy was the author of Anne of Green Gables and area that she lived is the setting of her Anne books. Although cold that day, the skies were crystal clear so the setting looked even more beautiful…. even the haunted woods. We were served a lobster lunch that day too. A whole lobster! I’ve never eaten one like that before… it was yummy!!

In Port Saguenay, Quebec, Nathan and I went on a hike in the National Park on another gorgeous day!! The scenery and the colour of the leaves were truly beautiful. See the photos.

In Quebec City, Nathan, Nipples, Sokil and I did the same tour I’d done with Chris. This time however I got to do it with clear skies and not in fog and rain. It was beautiful!!!! See some of the photos.

In Montreal we did a walking tour, saw the stunning Notre Dame church Celine Dion was married in, then went shopping and to the movies before finally saying goodbye.

Life on board for Nathan was an experience. He got to relax, see my shows, enjoy great food, meet Lorraine (our ship’s Godmother) and over all got to see what life onboard a ship for us is really like. I think it’s safe to say he had a great time! Nathan is now back in New York spending a few days there before heading home.

The new cast that is replacing us gets onboard when we get back down to New York and so our last cruise back up to Montreal is our Handover cruise to them.

I can’t tell you how excited I am to come home. I can’t wait!!!!

Lots of love
