Annapolis Royal is a charming town full of history, from the shops to the boardwalk, right down to the accommodations.

On our last trip to the Annapolis Valley, we stumbled upon Blomidon Provincial Park while checking out the panoramic vista of the Bay of Fundy from Blomidon Ridge.

The Holman Grand – Charlottetown, PE

May 18, 2012 The Local Traveler

Back in January, work found us staying at The Holman Grand in Charlottetown, PEI. While I have frequently used the Holman as an event space, this was our first opportunity to stay on-site.

Inverary Inn – Baddeck, NS

May 6, 2012 The Local Traveler

We recently spent two nights at the Inverary Inn as part of a conference. It was the off-season (March), a time when Inverary remains open, but with limited food services, and no water activities. The Lakefront restaurant, paddle boat and kayak rentals, and most of the town of Baddeck that we would have loved to…Read More
