Again, I would like to thank each of you who responded. I have the most amazing hints/itineraries/travel plans now. I'll let you all know how the trip turns out..........but maybe I won't be back until December after driving/doing/visiting/eating/driving :) :) :) Jeanne > From: norsky123@hotmail.com > To: nova-scotia-l@rootsweb.com > Subject: Help with travel plans > Date: Mon, 13 Aug 2012 12:26:55 -0600 > > > We are planning to travel to Nova Scotia very soon (Aug 18 to Sep 5 estimate).

And let's not also forget the Port Royal Habitation in the Annapolis Valley; original place for the Order of Good Cheer! There really so much to see and do. If you're also interested in scenic views taking a trip all the way down to the tip of Digby Neck is also very nice; to get to the point will require usage of some of the car ferries to the "tip of the neck", plus you'll get to see the Fundy Tidal bore in action. There's a website set up, sponsored by the provincial government to help people like you in planning you trip; it's www.novascotia.com. Since there truly is so much to see and do I'd recommend on zeroing in on 1 -3 places of interest; as some are full day adventures+ (ie. Louisbourg) and travelling to these places also means some road time. Another note: most of our museums/heritage sites charge admissions, so bring extra cash. To get a feel for what these extra admission charges might cost visit the museum/heritage site that you plan to choose. Have a lot of fun! -----Original Message----- From: nova-scotia-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:nova-scotia-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Jeanne S Sent: August-14-12 12:26 AM To: nova-scotia-l@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [NS-L] Help with travel plans Again, I would like to thank each of you who responded.
