RQS is a well educated lady. But she hasn't been to as many places that I have been because of conditions which she has lived with for many years. (And, no, I won't go into details here.) So, it will be a pleasure to be able to go back to previously visited ports with her and explore places I've wanted to see, but couldn't on those cruises.
There are two ports on this cruise which I haven't yet visited: Sydney, NS and Charlottetown, PEI. One of them looks interesting, while the other looks like a bore. Yet, RQS and I will get off the ship to walk around and see things for ourselves. Next comes Halifax, NS and St. John, NB. From Halifax, we will go to Peggy's cove and have a good time there. But at St. John, we will likely walk to the central market (St. John's version of the old Essex Street market in NYC). look around, and get back on the ship. My Canadian pen pal agrees with me, this port doesn't have much to say for it.
Once we leave Canada, it's off to Portland, ME and Boston. Portland has a nice shore front area, and we may yet take a lighthouse tour. But if we don't, we'll walk around and look for a seafood restaurant to find a place where we can get a lobster roll or two. Lastly, we dock in Boston, where RQS's friend will drive us to the USS Constitution before driving us back to the ship.
I expect that we will have a great time on this trip. I only wish I could be doing it in Marian mode....
