sounds like you have everything planned out
BUT
I think that you should go to less places and actually take time to see the places you do go; it looks like all you will doing is driving (a couple of hours in Montreal is not enough!)
make sure that you make reservations at camp grounds (some fill up months in advance) Poutine
Hi there,
I work for Nova Scotia Tourism. I would love to help you. I agree with Poutine, you do have an awful lot planned for 8 days. You will be doing much more driving than you will do exploring the areas you visit. Also, you’re Newfoundland crossing alone will take a minimum of 6 hours each way, not including the time you spend at the dock waiting to board and disembark. There is quite the distance between all of the places you mention. I would recommend choosing one or two provinces and exploring around them. There is plenty to see and do in each of the places you mentioned.
If you choose to explore Nova Scotia a little more, let me know if I can help you. There are lots of wonderful thins to explore. Cape Breton is beautiful…many visitors spend a few days on the Cabot Trail alone. Especially if you enjoy wildlife and hiking. There are also many other unique and beautiful places to explore, fabulous beaches, seafood, lots of outdoor experiences, museums and history. If you would like to know more about Nova Scotia, be sure to visit our website…www.novascotia.com. And also order a free Do’ers and Dreamers guide to help you plan your vacation.
I hope you have a wonderful trip wherever you plan!
