I have always wanted to go to Miquelon/St. Pierre. A bit of real France off of the NE coast.
The "mother" in me is a little nervous about you hitching to Fortune. Are there any alternatives (like a bus) in case? You are right, this where a Friday would come in handy. But, this sounds like an awesome adventure...

PS: DH has his 52 cm Pocket Rocket Pro sitting in a closet, waiting to be sold.
