Now that it seems that vacation time is starting, I just wondered what all of our good friends here so for vacation........
We have people here from all over the U.S. and Canada, so we may get some interesting responses.
It's funny how people will travel hours to see what may be in our own back yard.

For instance, I'm less then 40 miles away from Niagara Falls, but hardly ever go there.

As for our plans,  we usually stick around the home during the summer, working on the house, pool, etc. 
Our vacation seems to be more in January/ Febuary, when we try to book a cruise to get away from our brutal western NY winter.

You do not need to get too specific, but it might be interesting to see about where you all go, how far, how long, etc....
Do you camp, fly, go see mickey, etc,etc.
Do you take more day trips, or do the "grand, big vacation" thing.....

Basically, what do you do to make that great, "Family Memory"............

I like to do some camping in the summer.

This year I'll be meeting my family around where the red dot is below "Cochrane".  They come from the western side of the province and I live on the eastern side.

gee whizz...

dont you people know ...i mean dont you know that Nova Scotia is just the best place to visit  there ever was.

we do have the good beer here and it is actually starting to get almost warm out now ,i can work outside now in a t-shirt and not freeze.

and this evening sherri and i planted a bunch of stuff in our vegitable garden,first time i have ever had one and im no farmer but i have pretty good soil and some good equipment so maybe with the help of the groop here i will have some fresh vegies.

I'll have to agree, it is very nice up there.  I would like to get up to Canada sometime, the Ontario area.  I maybe dumb, but isn't Nova Scotia part of Canada?

yes Nova Scotia is part of Canada but we are considered to be a have not province so we kinda get screwed by some other parts of the picture.

however we do get a lot of friends visiting

Some of the Nova Scotia roads are like rough wagon trials... !     ...bounce... bounce... bounce...

...but... some great scenery !

That I didn't know.  That's why I enjoy trucks that are off the ground a bit.  It doesn't change my decision a bit.

Yes you are so very true!  The roads around here are like glorfied logging roads in some areas, in other areas it's a hazard just to think about taking the horse and buggy through.  Seriously though, I have heard a lot of tourists say that they will not come back to NS because of the road conditions.  Especially those on motorcycles, they say it's like dodge ball.  I heard a police officer refer to the 100 series highway in our area as a patchwork quilt.  Going home yesterday along the LaHave River, we got to experience some of the patchwork - the guys paved 20 or so feet, skipped 20 or so feet and paved a little more, and so on.  But I think the scenery makes up for the torture of the roads, so if any of you decide to come to this way for a visit, let us know, we'd be glad to meet up with you.

Hi...

I 1st zeroed in on Novia Scotia because it was advertised as a great place for a motorcycle trip... But... we took the pickup truck with a slide-in camper on it...

Found "the best" campground restroom in Novia Scotia... a pleasent surprise !  

...was a chore finding liquor stores though... to buy beer / wine...

Don't worry... I do not drink then drive... I drink then sleep !

We normally go to St. Thomas in the US VIrgin Islands coz my father-in-law is from there. There is a house and a car so it is convenient. Usually airfare is cheap during the summer months but this year it is not so hence we will be doing the proverbial long drive to Orlando Florida (Disney)... 1200 miles... from where we are. It will be with wifey, mother-in-law and the three little pigs... errr... ahhh.... I meant the three little kids. 7, 5 and 2. I can hear it now..... "are we there yet?"

Lord help me!
