PEI - Our Vacation Part II

September 10, 2007 | Filed Under activities 

After Quebec and my marathon recovery, Ashley and I drove through the woods, a.k.a. New Brunswick, to Prince Edward Island for a few days of relaxation on the beach. We stayed at the wonderful Dalvay by the Sea which had the BEST food, cute rooms, no TVs, and one computer for about 50 guests. We spent the first day doing nothing – a small walk to the beach and a few minutes of tennis. The next day we went to the Canadian Golf Academy for a half day lesson, and now Ashley is a killer from the tee – just keep those wrists straight. The next day we went to Cavendish where L.M. Montgomery wrote “Anne of Green Gables.” Canada turned the real Green Gables house into a national park and modeled the rooms after the description of the house in the book.



Oh, and did I mention the food? Breakfast and dinner was included at the resort and the restaurant was run by a chef who teaches at the PEI culinary school, one of the top culinary schools in the country. Oh, so good!

And I’m not going to get into the 38 hours of driving we did for this vacation… simply not going to mention the 2300 miles we put on our rental car and the endless, endless, endless trees of Canada, or how much we craved Starbucks as soon as we crossed back into the States. I will say that I LOVED the GPS unit that we rented from Avis although she constantly said “Recalculating” every time we didn’t turn where she said we should.
