Sunday, September 24, 2006 Stanhope, PEI




Spent the day touring the northern shore of PEI. Took a hike on Cavendish Beach (Homestead Trail), enjoying the dunes, the bird sightings (several herons), and just avoided the oncoming rains.

The north shore is dotted with little lighthouses, of which Brett took many photos. It is also apparently littered with wrecked ships. I’m assuming the lighthouses were added after the wrecks. We also decided to rough it for one more night while we checked out the Stanhope Beach Resort, a remodeled version of an 1800’s beach resort.

There are wonderful photos and antique furniture throughout the inn. It’s very windy and stormy out at the moment, so we’re happily enjoying a hot cup of tea and feeding our internet addiction.

We’ve suddenly realized that we’re still a long way from Colorado Springs, so tomorrow is going to be a dedicated driving day. We’re hoping to drive to Grand Falls, New Brunswick which is about 7.5 hours away.

I know where you are . . . . and I'm coming to get you. Hoo Hoo Hoo, Ha Ha Ha!

It looks like you got an XTerra - you copy cats! How's it for traveling long distances? I'm only able to go in circles here on the island!

Update here: Jen accepted a new position as Senior Project Manager w/ HMSA (my healthcare company!) She's a little scared since these guys are much more business-oriented than AlohaCare, but I think she's been dying for more structure in her job. It certainly pays a lot better. With her new salary, we're in the market for a new XTerra - one w/ solid gold rims and those cool hubcaps that spin even when the car is stopped. We're on our way, baby!
