Expedition Canada

Day 1 - We're Off Monday June 2nd, 2025 Sebby - checking our route After months of planning, several changes to the route and dates, the first leg of our 20,000k trans-Canada  (and back)  adventure, starts today.   We will be travelling through nine of Canada's provinces; British Columbia, Alberta,  Saskatchewan , Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec,  New Brunswick,  Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.  We won't get to Newfoundland & Labrador as the shortest ferry ride to them is around twelve hours and Jack would have to go into a crate-kennel, where he is bound to let everybody know of his displeasure.  Fred would probably not enjoy what can be rather rough seas!   We also won't get to any of the three territories, Yukon, Nunavut or Northwest Territories, though we're thinking of Yukon next summer.   The three month outbound leg will get us to Cap Breton in Nova Scotia on August 24th, when we turn around and head back. ...
