PEI is so boring. I hit it on the way to Newfoundland on a road trip from Calgary. We were there about 36 hours and it was about 30 hours too long. Maybe if you had a cottage or something with stuff to do it would be cool, but as a tourist destination it's really lame.
That being said, it's pretty neat to go to for a quick visit like I did. Driving across Confederation Bridge was super trippy, the people are insanely nice (we slept in the back of my Explorer at a "picnic area" and a park warden or whatever tapped on my window to check that we were okay, not to kick us out), the soil there is a weird red colour instead of brown, annnnd that's about it. Six hours and you've seen and done all that really matters there.
St. John's on the other hand is a killer city. If I could transplant my friends and my job there I'd move in a heartbeat. Halifax is also pretty cool.
