Though ambitious,I think there is a way to see Halifax, PEI and St. John's in Newfoundland in 11 days.<BR> I'm ready for a reality check fropm you!<BR>My wife and I depart August 14th from Newark, a direct, short flight to Halifax. We then have the 15th and 16th to see the city, Peggy's Cove, etc. <BR> I have rented a car for early departure to PEI (about a five hour trek) on the 17th, staying there that night, the next day and night, then a return ride on the 19th to Halifax via the scenic route. It will be difficult to bypass Cape Breton, it being so close. Is it possible to fit it?<BR> On the 19th, we have reservations on the 4:55 PM flight to St. John, NF, and will spend 4 nights there, flying back to Halifax the early afternoon of the 23rd. Saturday the 24th is our return direct flight to Newark at 8:30 AM.<BR>Interesting fact: Our roundtrip airfare from Newark is less than $200.00 each. The round trip to St. John's(NF)is $350.00 each. <BR>Help:! We don't have reservations yet in PEI or St. John's (we just decided this past weekend to go for it!) Any last minute recommendations?<BR> How does the itineray look?<BR><BR>Thank you.<BR><BR>Ken & Frances Dunn<BR>PS The combined flight time from New York (Newark) to St. John's (NF) is about 3 hours doing it this way. We originally tried to book a flight from New York to Newfoundland and were told it would be 6 hours! Thank God for the internet.

You can do this itinerary,, but you will then miss NS...I would skip PEI and just do NS...PEI is nice, but really it is a flat red island. I would go the cape breton instead. I have been to both and believe that cape breton is the most beautiful place on earth. I am from New Brunswick so I am not biased. I have not been to NF yet, but I guess it is amazing. You should visit France while you are there. I guess a short ferry ride to St. Pierre and Micqilon (sp?)

It is a four hour drive to the ferry terminal at Fortune, and then a two hour ferry to St. Pierre & Miquelon.<BR>

Hi, Ken & Frances! Yes, your itinerary is very ambitious. One thing to keep in mind is that your 5 hr. trek to PEI cld. turn into a lot longer if you run into delays @ the ferry. Basically you will only be in PEI for one day (Aug 18th) & then you will be up very early the next morning to drive back to Hfx. I am wondering why you don't fly from Charlottetown to St. John's instead of undertaking all that driving back to Hfx.<BR><BR>I wld. skip Nfld & focus on NS & PEI. Heck! if it were me, I'd spend the entire time in NS w/ the primary focus being Cape Breton.

I think you can see all 3 provinces in 11 days, especially since you're flying into St. John's. The only part I'm unsure about is the drive from Halifax to PEI, as I've never done it. But 4 days in St. John's will be fine (that's where I live), you'll be able to see the sights and experience true newfie culture. <BR><BR>If you'd like hotel, restaurant, or tourism recommendations, email me, i'd be glad to help out!<BR><BR>christy<BR
