So, I finally sat down yesterday and started sticking waypoints into the map software to see what kind of mileage we’re in for.
With the shortest and least populated route planned, we’re knocking on the door of 8,600 miles. With only 23 days of vacation time, that works out to a minimum of 400 miles every day. Whew!
Are we up for it? Can the bank account handle the hit? Will I stay awake the entire time I’m riding?
And, most importantly, does anyone have any suggestions for route changes, stuff to avoid, stuff not to miss??? HALP!!!

Update August 2009 – We’ve juggled our schedule around and now have a full month to play with. We’ll be racing cross-country on the interstates to get to “the other side” as quickly as possible. Barring any unforseen problems, this should give us darned near 2 1/2 weeks to play in Newfoundland and Nova Scotia.
I’ll update the map as soon as I set the waypoints.
Mike and Pam, I highly recommend time in Nova Scotia, the trip around Cape Breton and the Cabot trail most enjoyable and affordable. The small towns and coves on my circle of Nova Scotia were super scenic, I did spend 3 days which was barely enough to explore some backroads etc. I did not ferry out to the Rock. I did the supercat ferry, Yarmouth to Maine,most fun and a shortcut back through New England. Tom
