We're going to Spaniard's Bay NFLD exactly. That's where my wife's brother and sister-in-law, Clarence and Winnie Noseworthy live.
This will be the fourth time that I've visited Newfoundland. The first time was in 1998 and I created a webpage for that visit.
Finding out about Newfoundland history and old English settlements like Cupids and Harbour Grace is a lots of fun. You might not know this but for two hundreds years Newfoundland was a haven for English pirates.
I've also been "screeched in" by my wife. This means becoming an honorary Newfy and a member of "The Cod/Pirate/Viking Fraternity". What an honour!
Newfies are probably the friendliest people on Earth. Family, friend or friend of a friend, they love making you feel at home. The song below "Music and Friends" tells it all.
The weather in the summer is at least five to 10 degrees lower. In the evening, it's about 10C, very good for sleeping.
On the downside, there isn't the choice or closeness to places like malls, recreational centres and entertainment facilities which you have in the Greater Toronto Area.
I may have to go to the library to use the internet unless I find a good "hot spot" for my laptop.
We'll be gone for a month, but I'll try to keep you informed on these unique experiences.
