July 29, 2011. Western Head, N.S. Planning a Trip.

Nothing is more fun than planning a trip.  A part of Nova Scotia is unknown to us, the part called the Northumberland Shore.  We intend to drive  right along the coast from Windsor to New Glasgow, stopping at anything that looks interesting.  Our drive will take us off the main highways.  The first night we will stay at an Inn in Parrsboro on the Minas Basin, the section with the high tide.  We will stop at Advocate Harbour and Joggins along the way.  The second night we stay at the Train Station in Tatamagouche, on the Northumberland Strait.  Finally we will return on a very old highway, cited in the Lost Highway book.

Now we made the reservation using the Doers and Dreamers book so we have no idea of the quality of the places we have chosen.  But that is part of the fun of the trip.   Who knows how good it will be?  Not matter what, we will have a good time.  Dave and Irene are  good sports and are willing to go along with almost anything.  And they never complain.

I have been looking at that section of Nova Scotia for the past several years.  Finally, we four will go and see it for ourselves.  I am very excited.
