July Holidays

[Trekhawk]

HEy trek...

Being bitten by the buggies in Canada is part of the Canadian Experience....

I was going to suggest driving to Alberta, Sask & manitoba but i notice you'd driven through the states you listed to get up there...

Why not do the south? I really wanna visit Texas, Mississippi, Missouri & others...Just to hear the accents & for the v interesting history.

LOL - It was only a couple of places that we had the bitey drama but those suckers were big. Its not just Cananda, like I said Alaska had its share of big bitey bugs. In Denali we hiked in the back country and the bugs sure were friendly there too.

We definitely want to visit Texas and some of the other southern states just not in summer. Im thinking they are good places to see when the weathers a little cooler.

PS - We hope to get back to Canada before we leave - its so beautiful.

I've never found Acadia to bad as far as the bug thing. Usually at sunset the mosquitos but nothing a little bug spray or campfire smoke can't fix. We have camped at Seawall with the kids, rode the carriage trials on bikes, hiked may trails and there are a couple of beaches, kayaking, sailing, you name it. There are also some nice shops in Bar Harbour and there is always the mini golf, amusement type stuff off island which frankly we avoid.
Oh and don't forget to have popovers and tea at the Jordan Pond House. My kids like the popovers stuffed with ice cream and hot fudge sauce.
