Sometimes you have to do things, just because you can.

Dateline - Um, no clue. Somewhere between Nova Scotia and Newfoundland.

Yes, that's right - there is internet access on board the ferry! It's a miracle what thirteen cents a minute can do for you.

We're aboard the MV Caribou ferry and it's expected to take five and a quarter hours to get from NS to NF. Which is pretty good considering we thought it was a seven hour trip. Five and change is looking really good.

Now, once we get to NF - it's like half an hour in the future. Go figure that one. I may never get the clock in my truck set to the correct time again.

So, on board the ferry here, we have like fifty cars and a bunch of semi's. There are like seven people total. Okay, maybe not seven but very few.

There's an arcade, a restaurant and a lounge. Yes, a lounge.... complete with a Peter Paul and Mary-like folk group. It's very cheesy.

We did get some good fries in the restaurant though. We're planning on doing some reading and snoozing for the rest of the trip.

I will post again when I can.

Coming to you from the high seas of adventure, hope you are all well.

      No PF Chang's on that ferry? I hope you put it in the suggestion box! With 3 minutes to go, our satellite went out on the South Carolina Gamecocks! Hubby is a little grumpy and so here I am reading emails! We're ahead so let's just hope when the reception comes back, this hasn't changed! You are probably getting better reception on the boat, then we are tonight! Rest up! There are more adventures awaiting you!
