David & I have finally put dates on our motorcycle trip to Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. We will be leaving on June 20th, stoping in th Rumford, ME area for the night, then in New Brunswick for the 2nd night, on to Darmouth, NS for a night, then to Sydney for 2 nights. We will then take the ferry to Newfoundland spending nights in Corner Brook, Deer Lake and Gander area. Take the ferry back to Nova Scotia, spend a night in Sydney then in the Moncton, NB area on to Waterville, ME and finally arriving home around July 2.

Is there anyone in any of these areas that might have a suggestion of a motel or Bed & Breakfast we can stay in? Mom & Pop places will do nicely. It will be an expensive, once-in-a-lifetime trip and would like to have recommendations of nice inexpensive places to stay..............

Thanks for any suggestions you may have.......................Ellen

The pictures are the new purse I made for the bike....meet Erl, named for Erl, the largest Moon Bear rescued by Animals Asia. As you can see, he rides the bike the my back with a zipper in the back so he can carry a small bottle of water for me, and my license.

Ellen when it comes to NFLD, there are so many little B&B's to stay at and trust me they all will be good and you will be treated like a king and queen. They are the nicest people and so friendly and some of the best home cooked meals you will ever taste. I managed to find a few websites that might help you out.

You might find some of the B&B's duplicated on these sites, but it would be a good place to start.

Sounds like a great trip. I grew up in New Brunswick and have been to Nova Scotia and PEI but never to Newfoundland, although I know a lot of Newfies    they are some of the best people you will ever meet.

big hugs
