Time to pack and repack ONE suitcase...we are headed off to PEI!

Vacation time is upon us....its slowly creeping in...4 MORE DAYS till we head off  for Prince Edward Island....the fairest Isle of them all!! It seems that we go every two years...but stay in the same cottage, in the Provincial Park, in Cavendish!! Kids are excited!! Hubby is excited...cause he gets to go fishing!! I'm excited!! I went to school there...I feel part of the Island is with me...its my home!! Do you, or have you ever felt that way...another province/state/country is your HOME, even though you were never there...its in your being, absorb into your soul! Its something you can't explain...just that it feels like HOME!

I will be excited beyond words when I see the Confederation Bridge....leaving mainland behind and going to heaven! At least thats how I feel......

This year, we are travelling in a CAR...yes, 5 of us in a CAR...a CHEVY CRUZ!! Last time it was a VAN...a BIG VAN where the possibilities of bringing back antiques and books thrilled me!! We even brought back drift wood...which now sits in our livingroom...top shelf of a bookcase!! This year I am determined to fit all our belongings in one BIG SUITCASE!! We should save some room in the trunk for the odd book....!!

Hubby will be fishing in Rustico, at Joey's Deep Sea Fishing!! This will be his 3rd year with them!! He says they are like family! We highly recommend them!!! He has been non stop talk about fishing for Tuna! And how he will take our 9yo fishing for cod and mackerel!!

This year...I'm excited to be going to Chef Michael Smith's Flavour Shack, in Souris!! My 9yo Son is excited too....we hope to run into Smith...but if we just get a signed cookbook and a pic by the shack...well, that will be fine too!!!

Of course....our trip is not complete without a visit to COWS, seeing Anne of Green Gables, sampling island treats, visiting with University pals and the need to travel on the road less used!! Finding a red, dirt road...abandoned, just screams adventure!!

How is your Summer shaping up? Any plans? Discoveries.....??
