2022 Canadian Maritimes
This was a late June 2022 AHI (our 14th with them) land tour of the 3 provinces of Canada (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island) known collectively as the Canadian Maritimes. 2020 and 2021 had damaged the tourism industry, including the airlines, so that we were very welcome to the Canadians. There were 19 travelers, and we were provided a full-size motorcoach (40+ seating) so we could spread out. The journey started in Halifax NS, took a long ferry ride to Saint John NB, traveled over the longest causeway over ice-covered water to Charlottetown PEI, visited Baddeck NS and Cape Breton, winding up back where we started at the Halifax Marriott Harbourfront Hotel.
