Ah, the Maritimes.

I've always wanted to check them out, but the closest I've come to date was my application to Dal back in 1997. When I opted for SFU instead, that pretty much dictated the direction of most of my subsequent Canadian journeys (West!). But now, all that's about to change!

What started as some casual ideas dropped in e-mails between Em and myself while I was in Mexico seems to be solidifying quite nicely. We even have a tentative leave date. Friday. Yes, that's in 2 days... And no, we aren't ready (i.e., packed or prepared) in any real way. But isn't that the best way ;) ?

The quasi-plan: volunteer at the MORNING STAR FESTIVAL July 9-11 in KILLALOE (Northern Ontario). From there, hopefully catch a ride with some returning partiers heading east-wardly home. If not, get to the highway and start hitching.

We have a few contacts along the way, great smiles, and a song book to keep us happy on the road. The rest of the adventure has yet to be created...

By the way, if anyone knows anyone cool in Quebec or the Maritimes who might be interested in meeting up along our journey and/or possibly offering up a rain shelter or meal, please let me know!
