Hello!! I am planning a trip for myself and my mom (in her mid 70's) for mid Sept (Sept 11-23). I think I have ALMOST gotten it down but am struggling with a few options (particularly Cape Breton and time in Halifax). Any tips would be helpful!! We are mostly interested in sight seeing, small coastal towns, good food and music. Not going to be into heavy hiking or anything strenuous with my mom. Here is my tentative plan... Day 1 (Sunday) - Arrive at Halifax Airport (we land at 6:30am). Car rental from Airport - Drive straight to Lunenburg to stay for the day/night. Will book hotel the extra night so we can go straight there and rest. (Alternate option is spend this day/night in Halifax. But thinking going straight to Lunenburg will reduce the amount of moving between places. Open to suggestions!) Day 2 - Day trip to Peggy's Cove/ Mahone Bay. Spent the night in Lunenburg (Lunenburg Arms? Challenge finding places that have two separate beds!) Day 3 - Wolfville. Lunch at a Winery. Dinner in Hall's Harbour. Stay in Wolfville (Gingerbread House B&B) Day 4 - Day trip to Digby/Annapolis Royal. Lunch in Digby for some scallops! Night back in Wolfville Day 5 - Make our way to PEI stopping at Burntcoat Head Park (plan for low tide). Lunch stop somewhere (Masstown Market?) Take the Confederation bridge. Stay in Charlottetown (Harbour House) Day 6 - Morning in Cavendish (my mom really wants to see Green Gables, otherwise we may have skipped PEI altogether). Afternoon in Charlottetown. Stay night here. *Note I see the International Shellfish Festival is this weekend... Maybe get tickets to an event?* Day 7 (Saturday) - Make way to Woods Ferry. Lunch in Pictou maybe? Then up to Mabou. Dinner at the Red Shoe Pub. Stay night at Mabou River Inn. Day 8 - Hoping the Sunday Ceilidh will be happening in Judique. Mabou Farmers Market, maybe venture up to Inverness? Relax, do some laundry lol (we have a washer in our suite!) Night in Mabou. Day 9 - Drive North and either stay in Cheticamp (so I can do the Skyline Trail at sunset) OR continue on and stay the night in Ingonish. My mom thinks she would be okay doing the Skyline trail but I am not certain... I don't want to tire her out too much I don't want to stay in Cheticamp except for this reason, so I am debating just scrapping it and going to Ingonish. Thoughts? Day 10 - Drive to Baddeck. Night in Baddeck. Day 11 - Option to stay another night in Baddeck OR make our way to Halifax.Thinking if we stay in Halifax the first night we arrive I could add this day onto Baddeck and we could do Fortress of Louisbourg. Day 12 - Halifax for the night. Would love any input or suggestions!
