Alright so did some more research and heres the rough sketch of what I've got so far, looking for positive input on my plans and recommendations for stops I should make. Stay away or don't come to my province are not acceptable answers!

Day 1 (Monday) Land in Halifax, early morning flight approximately 7-8 hours should put us there with about half the day left, including time change.
Day 2 rent car, start the Great Cape Breton tour!
Day 2-4 touring Cape Breton. Right now I am planning to start by going up the NW coast, working our way down to Sydney, then ultimately back to Halifax.
Day 5-6 Arrive in Halifax, spending the weekend here (see how I timed that?)
Day 7 (Sunday) drive down to Lunenberg for the day/spend the night.
Day 8 Back up to Halifax and fly out to western Newfoundland
Day 9-11 spend touring the west coast of Newfoundland
Day 12 Drive to St. Johns (Friday)
Day 13 Spend the day in St. Johns (again, a weekend, great timing amirite?)
Day 14 Fly home/hating life cause we have to leave this beautiful part of the world.

She's tight, but I was able to convince the wife (can I call her that already? I can't say fiance without sounding like a jerkoff, future wife?) to drop PEI so we could spend more time touring Cape Breton/West coast of NFLD. We will have to hit PEI and NB the next time. We really want to hit both Halifax and St. Johns, this gives us 2 uninterupted days in Halifax on the weekend and 1.5 days in St. Johns again on the weekend. Probably not enough time but otherwise we have to cut a lot of the scenic stuff out.. so I figured 1-2 days on the weekend is probably better than 3 during the week.

I was hesitant to land in Newfoundland as recent interactions with some newfies really turned me off of the place, but then I thought, they can't all be basement dwelling virgins with their panties in a knot, so lets give er a go!

The next step is to start looking into activities, and I have been able to find a few good fishing outposts so far, but any recommendations from personal experiences would be awesome.

We are definitely going to work in a night at the Train Station, thanks again Jimmy for that great recommendation.
