It is the first day of summer, and the whole lodge is buzzing with the energy and excitement of the solstice. White Point has long been a popular place for locals and vacationers.

August 2, 2013 The Local Traveler

All of this talk about royal babies has my mind on our recent 'royal getaway' to Dalvay by the Sea in Dalvay, PEI. Please don't judge, but I am a bit of a royal watcher. I’m a sucker for things with tradition, glamour, and history. Plus, I love a good fascinator. So when we were invited…Read More

I love to camp. LOVE it. In my opinion there are few things better in life than being in an old sweater by a campfire cooking local sausages, or sipping on a local craft beer. I like sleeping close to the ground in a cramped space filled with blankets, and being woken up by the…Read More

So when we found ourselves in Sydney in April, not quite ideal camping season, we stayed at the new Hampton Inn at Membertou. The…Read More

Hostel International – Pleasant Bay

June 3, 2013 The Local Traveler

I’ve done my fair share of shoestring budget travel, but somehow I’ve never stayed in a hostel. Throwing a tent in my backpack has always been my M.O. when it comes to saving money on the road, but it’s good to know that there are options out there if you ever need a sturdier shelter…Read More
