There Is No Place Like Home!

Thought you got rid of me, but we arrived back home tonight. Two weeks without once being near a computer! Holidays are nice, but there is no place like home! Just a quick post because it's 1:00 PEI time, and I can't wait to sleep in my own bed.

Tomorrow I will post some pictures. What a beautiful island PEI is, and the people are wonderful too. The pace is much slower on the island than in Edmonton, and LOBSTER...yummmm! That's one m for every lobster I ate, and wait until you see the cod I caught, yes, we ate it too, no catch and release for that baby.

My biggest observation, nobody has a fence in PEI. Not cottages, not farms, not one fence did I see in Charlottetown, not one. I found this a good indication of the openness of the people. I worried about dogs on the loose, and getting run over, but it was the skunks that were the aroma of the highways.

More tomorrow about lobster, meeting a Liberal MP, and island politics as I saw it. It's just nice to be home.

Look Out PEI, Here We Come!

Two weeks of bliss at a cabin on the Island! Real LOBSTER! Deep sea fishing, family picnics, the Anne of Green Gables play, golf, golf and even the Gold Cup and Saucer Parade! Can't wait!

We leave tonight at midnight (red eye into Toronto), get into Moncton at noon, cross the Confederation bridge, and presto, my husband regains his PEI accent, happens every time we go there. Dragging 4 sets of golf clubs with us is a bit of a hassle, we need to rent that big SUV to get from golf course to golf course, but it's worth it.

Beaches, long empty stretches of beach, searching for sea glass especially the blue pieces, and did I mention LOBSTER? For my birthday, on 08/08/08 (wonder if that's extra lucky?) my husband's Mom joins us for the best lobster supper on PEI, The World Famous New Glasglow Lobster Supper, we are only about 5 minutes away, so I expect we might go there more than once.

Then, for the first time in over 20 years all 7 brothers and sisters will be on the Island, so a big family picnic is planned. I'm going to stuff myself on the best potatoes in the world, PEI potatoes and fresh fish, like LOBSTER! Wonder if I can pack farm fresh PEI potatoes in my luggage? Don't laugh, I've already sent all my spices ahead with one of my husband's brothers!

As you can tell, we are pretty excited, I love PEI! Did I mention LOBSTER? HA!

We will come home, broke, 10 pounds heavier, but happy!

So, seeing as the cabin doesn't have the internet, I will sign off for 2 weeks, and come back with my adventures on PEI.

Oh....did I mention LOBSTER?
