I got my PEI Tour Guide book and it is awesome...

I can not wait for this trip in June 2008 and I darn well better be around for it. it is going to be so awesome that I can not wait to meet all the teaRoom girls...it is so far away.
I have read this book front to back and need to go through it again to look at cottages, hotels, etc.
I have favorite things picked out to see and got all kinds of info about Prince edward Island. I have never been to the East coast so I want to see it all...

Did you know that PEI has a population of 138,000 people, that is 136,500 more than Russell; the cities are Charlottetown and Summerside, I know someone that lives in Summerside from a stamping group I am on but have never met her, maybe I will be able to; the soil is red due to iron oxide which rusts on exposure to air; land area is 280km (175 miles) tip to tip; total land area is 5,656 sq. km (2,184 sq. mi); the provincial bird is the blue jay; the provincial flower is the lady's slipper (love them); provincial tree is the red oak; major industries is fisheries, agriculture and tourism.
I definitely want to climb to the top of a lighthouse; see the lupins; visit a castle; maybe take a boat tour; go through a corn maze (did that near Winnipeg and had a blast); do a hayride; go to some outdoor concerts to hear the pipers and drummers and definitely drive accross Confederation Bridge. I think the Blue Heron Coastal Drive; Points East Coastal Drive and the North Cape Coastal Drive sounds awesome. The beaches, the landscape, the flowers and the birds will make for some beautiful photos.
