Well, I have the first batch of photo's back from our trip downeast, and I have to say I'm quite pleased! My favorites have been posted on my online scrapbook. So far, I have photos for the wedding, and the first part of the trip up until our drive back across Newfoundland. (Those of you who are my friends on facebook can see most of the photos on my profile.) The shots from the ferry until New Brunswick are currently being developed, and the last shots of the Bay of Fundy are still in the camera.
The trip was amazing! I wish we could have stayed longer in some places - particularly Newfoundland. We really didn't get enough time there, I would have liked to have spent another day in St. John's, and I wish we could have swung off the Trans-Canada Highway to see more of the little places along the way. Unfortunately, our time was dictated by the ferry schedule, and you have to reserve your ferry ahead of time.
Next time we go downeast, I'd really like to get to PEI! We didn't make it this time, we simply ran out of time! We saw Cape Breton, and drove the Cabot Trail, but we didn't get down the "foot" of Nova Scotia (ie. down to Halifax and Yarmouth). We'd really need to do it in 2 trips: Newfoundland one trip, the rest of the Maritimes another. I really hope we get that chance in the years to come!
In the mean time, I've gained some wonderful memories, and some great photos (if I do say so myself!)

that's so awesome!!! yes, good strategy to do divide it up like that. . Maritimes/Nfld. . . we did the Maritimes. . all of it but never got to Newf! Soo, next time its NFLD!!!!
Nfld is absolutely beautiful, make sure you leave yourself lots of time for St. John's - lots to see and do!
