We were woken up Day 10 by a guy in a a uniform expecting us to be up and ready to go. His requests confused us, and we blankly stared back at him until he realized he had the wrong room. He saluted us, and then marched away.
It was around this time that we thought we should leave the police training grounds we were staying at. We went and got a trucker breakfast, and then decided to start our long day of... [more]

Day 9 came way to soon. For the first time on the road, we felt at home as Ontarian's, lounging around at a cottage! We could have easily of stayed for a few more days, but we were minutes away from the ocean, so we found the courage to give back our keys, and continue on our journey.
But first we checked out the graveyard beside us, which was a tourist attraction because of who is buried in it. We took... [more]

Since we had so many recommendations for places to
visit in Antigonish, we decided to start Day 8 off at a must stop local café.
Then it was off to PEI. To get to PEI we had to take a ferry. The ferry ride
was not as exciting as I thought it would be, but I found something to keep me
occupied for the hour long ride.
Once we got to PEI, we had to cross the island to our little
cottage resort. The drive gave us a... [more]

Day 7 started off pretty crummy. It was raining outside, and we just weren't as pumped as we had been mornings before. It may have been the road taking its tole on us, or it may have just been the weather.
Although both of the above mentioned could have been the reason we were down, I think the idea that the weather could ruin the rest of the Cabot Trail was stealing our excitement. We checked out of our hotel,... [more]

Day 6 was our departure from Halifax, and our journey to Cape Breton. We knew this drive would be one of our most visually pleasing, so we kept our eyes to the road.
The further we got away from Halifax, the more rural everything got. The landscape was changing into huge rolling hills, and we were seeing a lot more water, and thicker forests. There were also a lot of small towns that had very unique... [more]

Day 5 was the first time we didn't have to rush anywhere. We slept in, and hung around in our hotel room until it was time to meet with another Halifax artist. We ended up meeting them at their favourite cafe, where we got to hear songs and more about their past.
After our interview, we decided to do a shoot in 'Public Gardens'. We ended up spending most of the evening there; chasing ducks, and making videos by... [more]

Day 4 is when the excitement began. It was the first day of the trip that we felt we were accomplishing what we set out to do, and even got more than we had asked for.
We started our day by checking out of the cute little bed and breakfast we were at the night before, and then made our way to Dalhousie University, where we had an interview on CKDU.
Our interview went very well, and had a good connection with... [more]

After two days of almost straight driving, we were excited for just a short driving down the road to the University of New Brunswick, to do our first on air interview at CHSR.
The campus of UNB, was probably the prettiest landscape I have ever seen for a University. The school was high up on a hill overlooking the river and the other side of Fredericton. There seemed to be a small forest in between buildings,... [more]
