Sunny and warm today. Missed the good weather for the Cabot Trail and whale watching by one day. Well, this is the official end of the Monacos in Motion Maritimes Province Caravan. It has been a blast! Even with the roads and weather, the trip has been an experience that none of us will forget. Meeting new friends, seeing old (acquaintenances, not in age) ones, seeing the Canadian Provinces, meeting the people of the area, and eating. What would a caravan be without the opportunity to enjoy Janet and her gang's cooking. Bill and JeanAnn did a great job on putting this caravan together. The volunteers also made it possible to enjoy an (almost) trouble free trip. Personnaly, Carole and I are looking forward to the next one.
Today for the group, it was a free day which everybody was looking forward to. Even with that, there was still some sightseeing to do. Happy hour was a little wet but we all enjoyed the champagne supplied by the Paynes. The Millers and the PAynes were all decked out in the kilts and really looked the part. (pictures to follow).
The farewell dinner was held at a local resturant. After a wonderful meal, door prizes were handed out. Lazydays provided a pair of $50 gift certificates. Monaco provided 8 $25 wearable gift certificates. Several other door prizes were given out for appreciation of the effort put out by all of the caravaners. Special gifts were given to the Millers and Paynes for their great effort in putting this caravan together. Each couple received a check from surplus funds of the caravan.
From here, we split into two groups on our adventure to New Foundland and Labrador. The 4 week group is taking the 14 hour ride from Nova Scotia and the two week is on the short 6 hour ride. We reverse that on the return trip. Its been great and the next 4 weeks will be just as great.
