We are taking a two month RV trip to Newfoundland and Labrador this summer. We are taking twelve year old grandson, Kellen, along. He will fly in from California when school is out.
It took us two full days of planning and many phone calls to finally get reservations for the three ferries we will be taking, for campsites on the way out, and for campsites on each end of each ferry so we know we will be where we need to be on time. We have never reserved this many campsites before because of how it controls the daily driving schedule. Our plan is to drive straight out from Missouri to New Sidney, Nova Scotia, to catch the first ferry. We will take a more leisurely pace back across the U.S. on the way home. A stop on the way home, which presented itself to us this winter by a couple in our RV park in Florida, is a couple days in Cutler, Maine. Norb and Marilyn have invited us to visit them there. Norb is a lobster fisherman and boat builder. He will take us out lobster fishing one day, which will be an exciting experience. Marilyn is planning a picnic one day on a nearby island. We look forward to the activities and visiting with them again.
We will only take the truck over to Labrador. There are limited places to stay in Labrador but we were able to book a room at a B & B there. We were going to take the five day working ferry up the coast and back but decided it was too much driving and too much time out on the water rather than sightseeing. We will drive around the lower parts of Labrador instead. After catching the ferry back to Newfoundalnd we will work our away across Newfoundland from West to East, catching the ferry back to Nova Scotia after about a month of taking in all the sights.
We are excited.
