Our first two nights (or one-and-a-half for Ginny) were in an airport hotel in room 304. This week, Wednesday and Thursdays nights were in Lunenburg at the Smuggler's Cove Inn--room 304. Tonight we checked into Inn at the Lake in Fall River--and were given room 304!! We have only stayed in six places. What are the chances that in the only three places with room numbers that went that high we would be in room 304? Weird!
Lots of laughter today, from the waiter at breakfast, to the seagull that eyed our lunch from the roof of the neighboring car (it was raining, so we ate in the car in the parking lot at Peggy's Cove instead of outside at one of the picnic tables), to the clerks at tonight's hotel when we checked in, we have laughed a lot. This morning at breakfast, Ginny asked the waiter if he ever did stand-up comedy. "I'm doing it right now," he replied, "and doing it here, I get tips!" Tonight when we checked in, one clerk asked the other if our room was preassigned. "We preassigned the important ones," he replied. "Oh, so we're not important," I immediately quipped. He turned bright red and began to explain how they had lots of "standard" rooms so they only preassigned the ones that were in limited suppy. I assured him I was only kidding him. But that gives you a taste of the hilarity that has run through the day. We are still laughing together after two weeks!
The seagull on the roof of the next car was just too wonderful not to share, so I asked Ginny to be sure to post it. Thanks for following our blog. Nova Scotia is well-worth a visit!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your vacation experience! I'm Cynthia and I work for Nova Scotia Tourism. When I came across your blog and saw that you shared an entire 2 week vacation I was so delighted. We love to hear from our visitors. I'm sorry we couldn't get the sunshine in for you. As I speak right now, people everywhere in Halifax are looking for buckets of ice to sit in, it's so hot. But in honesty, there was a period in June we wondered if we were going to see the sun. And you've captured it quite well :) with lots of laughter and fun despite it. It looks like you've toured the entire province and showcased lots of the wonderful things about it. Thanks so much for sharing, not only our beautiful province but also your friendship. There is a contest we're currently running that you might consider www.novascotia.com/ilove, if you would ever like to come back this way. We'd love to have you!
