I will be making a loop from Boston. Does anyong have any suggestions what I should see or where I should go? I called the Canadian tourist bureau and they sent me a year's supply of brochures and maps. Far more than I can see in the allotted time. Help. This is an area I would really like to see, but unfortuantely the time's limited. Tentative plans: Drive from Boston to Quebec, east thru New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, spending the weekend in Cape Breton, down through the rest of Nova Scotia, through Maine and back to Boston. I'd love to go to Newfoundland too, but I'm afraid I'll have to pass on that because of time limitations. Specific questions: Is this too much for the time allotted? (It definitely is for my usual travelling style.) What weather should I expect? (I'm preparing for hot for Boston portion -- how about rain, etc.?) Any comments about camping, bed-and-breakfasts, etc? The tourist board tells me I need hotel reservations in the cities (esp. Quebec). Is this true? If we drive around the Gaspe peninsula, how much time should we allow. What highlights should go on the "do not miss" list? What should go on the "maybe next time" list? Any special restaurants or food types to look for? Thanks for any suggestions and comments.
