Hi Judy -- I've gotten soo many replies today that it is overwhelming. One gal offered to meet up with me in the St John's area dn show me around as well as to the ROOMS. I was thinking of getting a cabin on the ferry to Argentia. I've also heard about the Moose at night and had not planned on driving at night. That would be another reason for going via Argentia. I am waiting to hear from some friends in Nova Scotia who have roots in NL for their comments. Thanks for the tip on the guilt and pillow. I am in the process of making a Celtic Colours 2006 quilt. I bought the fabric in Mabou, Nova Scotia while at Celtic Colours this past fall. So that would be a good one to bring (if it's finished !!) How many times have you traveled from Florida to Newfoundland and how many days does it take?
