also be sure to have a lobster roll or two . even McDonalds has them , it might be the best thing they serve anywhere .

note: lobster rolls are probably only available in season , and if lobster isn't in season you probably don't want em anyway !

you can get incredibly good seafood almost anywhere , roadside stands offering 'catch of the day' have better food than many restaurants i've been in , just because it's fresh out of the ocean and simply prepared . had several amazing bowls of chowder too . dang ! i might have to go back , i'm getting hungry !

nope...nothing where I am. Ask about them and you get a blank stare. Passing through Lethbridge, AB a month ago we seen a place advertising them, but the line-up was too long to wait...

I didn't realize it was a maritime/eastern Canada thing... Thought it was a pizzeria thing everywhere...

it's a middle-eastern thing really , they just changed the name slightly when they started selling them in Halifax

here in Toronto they call them shawarma , and there's almost as many as there are coffee shops

I made it to Halifax (with a cousin) in '81 and it was an amazing ride!
We almost missed the last ferry from New Brunswick to Nova Scotia so on the return trip to Maine we got to the dock a couple of hours early and proceeded to "empty" our coolers and chatted with some folks who worked the scallop boats out in the harbor and we had a blast.
The ferry to Maine was like a partyboat!

I've always wanted to go to New Foundland and spend more time visiting with folks as opposed to quickly passing through due to a deadline to get back to work.
I had planned the N.F. trip for last year but the couple that was going to go with us asked if we could do a trip out west instead.
I'm thinking 2013 may work if my wife can get away from work.
I'll trailer most of the distance and pick her up at the most conveinent airport which will give us more time to tour.
