(Wishful Thinking – China Crisis)

That about says it all.

Left this morning at 6:20. Excited that today was our last driving day.

Wishful thinking 💭

Hit some traffic but made it through.

We were lucky. We found a stop with a Starbucks. Perfect. Saw this cute moose. Had to take a couple of pictures.

Things were going well. Making great time. A little, light rain but not bad. Looked like we’d make it back to PEI by 5:30 p.m. Yay.

Wishful thinking.

Snow in Maine but driving wasn’t extremely bad. When we got to the US / Canada border we were sure driving in New Brunswick would be much better.

Wishful thinking 💭

The Trans Canada Highway had not been plowed. Surely that was because it was right at the border and things would improve.

Wishful thinking 💭

We saw one plow. A very interesting one but only one. Shame NB government.

The driving was so horrendous.

And these are pictures of the road before it got really bad.

We were only going about 35 km an hour in heavy, single lane traffic. We had to stop for the night in Fredericton. Both of us hated to give up but it was pointless to continue. So here’s where we stayed tonight. Radisson Kingswood Hotel and Suites. Lovely.

Beautiful room and bathroom. Plus we got a great discounted price. Perfect.

We had supper in their restaurant and then relaxed after that disastrous drive.

I have to mention that Richard has made the whole drive wearing his shorts. Not me. I wore my fleece lined leggings and a long sleeved top.

Nite y’all 😴
