Adventure!

Well, I'm a bit late and well into vacation before posting. Will probably spread this over a couple of posts, will undoubtedly miss some things.
Left Dallas on time and arrived in NY-JFK. Halifax flight scheduled on time, we had some time to kill. Ate then went to the gate, Halifax flight delayed, a bit later, Halifax Flight cancelled....

So off to the ticket counter to get a new flight. Three hours later, after plentiful searching, the first available flight is Saturday morning, meaning 2 nights in NYC. Not looking pretty so after more finangling, we extended our stay, will leave Halifax on Saturday, and we hopped a rental car and started driving at 11:00 PM Thursday night.

Cool car, a Volvo XC, with a GPS. What a difference that GPS made, and in very short time its easy to get some dependancy on it, especially in cities we've never travelled in. Would not have been easy getting out of NY without it. We drove all night, a bit of rain and some heavy fog in spots, sky started to brighten up a bit about 4:15 am and by 5:00 was pretty much daylight. We hit the border about 8 am.

We stopped at the Harley dealership in Moncton and arrived at the HFX airport about 4:00 pm. We swapped cars, it took about an hour or more to get a clean car and went off to Dale's (Darlene's sister) for a BBQ and spent the night there.

To be continued...
