Well we made it from Calgary to Nova Scotia, with surprisingly good weather for this time of year (even through Wawa!). We did the drive in short, long burts followed by a few days in both Winnipeg and Ottawa, and then into Halifax.
I'm curious what people consider the worst part of the drive, as I know many of you have done it. For me, the two worst cities to drive through are Calgary and Montreal. Calgary (on the trans-Canada) because even though the route is straight-forward, it's no longer a highway and you crawl along 16th Ave. Montreal because the road is still a highway, but the route is not straight-forward (or well marked) and you have to make some key turn-offs / mergers.
But I'm here now, and I'd say I wasn't going to do it again, but we all know I'd be lieing! Two weeks here, packing and organizing, and then off on the next adventure. More to come...
Merry Christmas all!

Hey Biggs... missed your call this afternoon, but believe it or not I WAS actually working in Canmore for the day. Worst city for sure is Montreal... I have twice missed the tunnel and ended up on a long detour while doing the east-to-west trip. Winnipeg is the easiest... a bypass with 90 degree turns can not be beat! Give us a call back and I'll fill you in on the latest developments.

The worst part of the drive - those rolling hills in Ontario, no double highway and lots of thingys that cross the road whenever they want - oh yes those big trucks that own the road. Montreal is a breeze (especially if you are the navigator) - could say the same for Calgary!!
