2024 New England the Canadian Maritimes

On July 14th, Hank and I are heading out on what we hope to be an intoxicating journey through New England to the breezy Canadian Islands of Newfoundland and Nova Scotia. Both islands are rich in maritime history, with charming villages scattered along picturesque coastlines and beautiful mountains and cliffs.

In Newfoundland, we plan to visit the infamous Gander International Airport , where residents of Gander welcomed 38 international flights, sheltering and feeding nearly 6,700 evacuees from around the globe when flights were grounded after 9/11. On Nova Scotia, we’ll pay our respects at the memorials and graves of those who perished on the Titanic and about the how the people of Nova Scotia helped survivors.

To top it off, we’ll enjoy of riding our bike Shiney along thousands of miles of winding roads through New England and Canada, living in the moment on our “happy place.”
