Make sure you drive the Cabot Trail when you get to Nova Scotia. It goes along the northern part of Cape Breton Island through the Highlands National Park.

We'll definitely be doing that; we're attending a wedding in Sydney, so we'll be spending some time in Cape Breton. What's the camping/hotel situation in Cape Breton in the peak season? If we're planning to stay in a hotel for one or two nights, should we be making reservations now?
I'm not much for golfing, what else would you recommend in cape breton? Any good sea-kayaking spots?

Don't forget the mini barbeque either.

Oh great, I always wanted a stalker. I have no idea how we're going to fit both the barbeque and the dog crate in the car, as we've just got a little Dodge Shadow. But then... you already knew that, didn't you?

Go across at riviere du loup, that will get you into new brunswick at edmunston verses northern n.b. area like bathurst.

Isn't there a nice national park near bathurst, along the coast? Though we will have seen so much wilderness by that point that we'll just take the quickest route through NB.

From Fredericton we went through to Ottawa the first day. Believe it was about 12 hrs or so. Not sure what highway we took but we went from Ottawa to Wawa, then Wawa to Kenora, then Kenora to Regina, Regina to Calgary. Each day was close to 12 hrs of driving.

So about 60 hours driving in total? That's about what I figured. We'll probably break it down to 7 days, so around nine hours driving each day. And good call on the AMA, I should stop in there and get some info. Not sure how much time we'll have for NB, as we budgeted a couple days each for NS, PEI, and NFLD. Might stop in through Fredricton, though.
