Cruisin'

Every night was a party, and every night our cabin boy made us a new towel animal. These are a few notable nights and towels.

Bah Hahbah

Another slightly interesting fact: Bar Harbor was the only port at which we needed to tender to shore, which just means to take a small boat from the big boat to land. Another first for both as well as a mini-adventure.

Bah Hahbah

Funny thing, I always thought that I had been to Bar Harbor before because I've been saying Bah Hahbah for so many years. But, alas this was my first visit. Which was perfect, because we love firsts together. The town was definitely a tourist trappy type place, but very cute with fun shops and parks. A woman from one of the shops said that the little town has only two days from Memorial Day to Labor Day when there is not at least one cruise ship at port. Interesting.

Nova Scotia

We also had the opportunity to stop at two different places in Nova Scotia, Halifax and Sydney. Neither place was much to write home about although there were some noteworthy museums and views. We learned that the Titanic sank within 200 miles of the Nova Scotian coast. It was also a bit odd to run into a Boston pizza joint.

Prince Edward Island

While we're being arrogant, one of the other great parts of the cruise was getting to go to Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island (PEI). To be honest, Charlottetown was cutesy, but nothing special, you know, nothing special beyond being the birthplace of Anne of Green Gables. Actually the coolest part of PEI is the fact that we now have the pleasure of saying, "we've been there!" As a side note, the people were very nice in Charlottetown (by people, I mean the operator of a liquor store and the owner of a comic book store), and they said "eh" frequently, which made us smile.

I'm not saying that it's all Patrick's fault, but he is totally to blame!
