RV'ing Alaska's Inside Passage
The adventure begins on beautiful Vancouver Island in British Columbia with a visit to Telegraph Cove, possibly the best place on Earth to view Orca (killer whales). We continue north to Ketchikan, Alaska's first city on the Inside Passage. Here we explore the spectacular Misty Fjords National Monument by kayak and float plane. We also learn about the art of totem pole carving and watch as they are created. A short side trip by ferry takes us to Prince Of Wales Island, which has more than 2,000 miles of logging roads for exploration. The island is also known for its luxury fishing lodges.
Wrangell calls itself Alaska's Hidden Jewel and is paradise for those seeking outdoor adventure! Many say that if you're looking for the real Alaska, you'll find it here. The Anan Bear Observatory is considered to be one of the best in the state and the only place where black and brown bears feed together. We take an exciting jet boat tour up the Stikine River - the last great un-dammed river on the continent - and visit Telegraph Creek as well as the Grand Canyon of the Stikine.
The ferry becomes part of the adventure as we head north through the Wrangell Narrows - the single most difficult navigational stretch on the Passage. Petersburg is Alaska's Little Norway and Southeast's busiest processing port, home to the area's largest fishing fleet. Sitka was once the Russian capital of Alaska and is one of the most beautiful spots on our route. We explore the town's history and native culture. The Alaska Raptor Center offers a close-up at eagles. A wildlife cruise to St. Lazaria Island lets us observe whales, puffins, sea lions and otters. A snorkeling tour reveals Alaska's underwater world.
Juneau is the state capital. The biggest attraction is Mendenhall Glacier, which we explore with an exciting helicopter tour and glacier trek. Some of the best humpback whale watching is within a short boat ride of town. Incredible glacier calving and towering cliffs can be seen at nearby Tracy Arm. Side trips take us to beautiful Glacier Bay and the quirky little town of Pelican.
Our adventure ends with a tour of historic Skagway and more wilderness adventures in Haines, including a river tour, an air boat ride and panning for gold.

Blog: Cape St. Mary's Ecological Reserve, Newfoundland & Labrador
By Peter Bull, Newfoundland and Labrador Tourism
Despite an inclement weather forecast, we decided to drive to the gannet colony at the Cape St. Marys Ecological Reserve. I knew from past experience that regardless of the weather, it is something everyone should see when they are in the province. Actually, if the weather is bad, the experience is more spectacular. As you approach the birds, the noise level gradually increases till all of a sudden over 40,000 birds appear before you. We didnt get to experience the gannets in this magical manner as from the time we left the visitors center to when we reached the colony, all of the fog burned off. As we say here, Dont like the weather? Wait five minutes! The other side of this saying is you had better be prepared for bad weather at any time. This is the weather capital of Canada! The lads had a great time trying to take pictures of the birds as they flew right over our heads. At the end of our visit, we were the only people on the point looking at the gannets. Where else in the world can you have a private viewing of a natural wonder on this scale?
Dildo Pleasure, a Doctor's House, and Newfoundland Sushi
I love that there's so much left for me to explore on Newfoundland's Avalon Peninsula, never mind the whole province. This video covers the gorgeous five-star Doctor's House Inn in Green's Harbour, with its wily goats and Newfoundland ponies.
Then it's off to Dildo, where we had a fun run-in with Dildo pleasure. I can't even make it through that sentence without giggling.
Final stop: stunning Grate's Cove, on the edge of the Atlantic, with the most wonderful little cafe and art studio (Grate's Cove Studios) where I ate sushi. IN RURAL NEWFOUNDLAND.

Trails, Tales and Tunes - Gros Morne National Park
By Peter Bull, Newfoundland and Labrador Tourism
This spring my family & I drove to Gros Morne National Park to take in the Trails, Tales and Tunes Festival. Trails Tales and Tunes happens for 10 days in May every year in Norris Point. What a backdrop for a festival! We had a great weekend listening to a lot of fantastic musicians like AcaBella, Daniel Payne and Richard Neville. We just happened upon Daniel and Richard jamming at the Cat Stop. The guys really got into the tale told by Elinor Benjamin at the Bonne Bay Marine Station. The marine touch tanks at the station were also hit with the lads. In between shows we did some hiking to the lighthouse in Lobster Head Cove and along the shoreline of Norris Point. What a fantastic weekend!
Trinity Bay and hiking the Skerwink Trail #SplitTheRock
In New Bonaventure, we set out with Bruce Miller of Rugged Beauty Boat Tours to tour the coast around Trinity Bay, including resettled communities like Ireland's Eye and British Harbour. The tour was one of the most refreshingly honest tours I've ever experienced; Bruce is an opinionated fellow, and he's not afraid to be vocal about it. We even ended up at his cabin for a cup of tea and an Ugly Stick session.
Then: the hike around the Skerwink Trail, from Trinity. One of the best maintained and most beautiful trails I've seen in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Hubbards, Nova Scotia (Part 1 of 3)
Hubbards is an unincorporated Canadian rural community on the South Shore of Nova Scotia.
Hubbards is located on the eastern side of the Aspotogan Peninsula, and along the northern shore of St. Margarets Bay. It borders the communities of Simms Settlement and Queensland.
Hubbards sits astride the county line bordering Halifax County and Lunenburg County and is located in the Halifax Regional Municipality and Chester Municipal District respectively.
Hubbards is located approximately 50 kilometres west of Downtown Halifax and 50 kilometres east of Bridgewater on Highway 103.
ubbards was first settled by French-speaking Protestants, brothers John (1757--1835) and Frederick Dauphinee. As with all those who first settled the east side of the Aspotogan Peninsula, the brothers arrived from across St. Margaret's Bay at French Village, Nova Scotia. Their father emigrated from Montbéliard, France to Halifax and then to Lunenburg. Captain John Dauphinee settled on what became known as Dauphinee's Point. In 1820, John Dauphinee began a lumber mill on Mill Lake.
The origin of the name Hubbard's is likely a corruption of the name Hibbard, Hubert or Hibbert.[1] (The first School in Hubbards was named Hibbert's Cove School.)[2] The Village was Hubbards Cove until the word Cove was dropped (1905). The Fitzroy River which runs through Hubbards may have been named after British Prime Minister Augustus FitzRoy, 3rd Duke of Grafton (1735--1811).
In the earlier part of the 20th century, Hubbards was a successful fishing community. During the Cold War, the Canadian Forces established a naval radio station at Mill Cove in 1967. CFS Mill Cove was a major employer in the Hubbards area until its automation in the 1990s when it was downgraded to Naval Radio Station Mill Cove.
Hubbards is a popular summer vacation fairhaven. Numerous cottages, inns, campgrounds, restaurants and the Shore Club (the last of Nova Scotia's great dance halls) contribute to a healthy summer economy. The Hubbards and Area Business Association works to sustain a shop local economy. Hubbards features a picturesque locale, especially on Hubbards Cove, with a yacht club, Nova Scotia's smallest provincial park, campground and 10 beaches within driving distance of one another.
The CBC television series Black Harbour was shot on location in Hubbards between 1996 and 1999.
After his death in the late 1950s, oil businessman J.D. Shatford, who was born in Hubbards, left money to the community to start an educational trust fund through which local residents graduating from high school receive bursaries for post-secondary education. The Shatford Trust Fund also built the J.D. Shatford Memorial Library, the Hubbards firehall, and supplied funding to both churches and other community facilities.
TWB is Live! Hurricane Florence Hits US Carnival Royal Caribbean Norwegian Updates!
TWB is Live! Hurricane Florence Hits US Carnival Royal Caribbean Norwegian Updates! Hurricane Florence is now hitting the coast of South Carolina. The storm is slowing it's forward motion down to a crawl and will likely dump huge amounts of rain for the next few days. Carnival has a ship called the Carnival Ecstacy due to land in Charleston SC on Sunday but the port is closed right now until Saturday night and may not be open by Sunday with the amount of flooding that is expected in the area. The Grandeur of the Seas is supposed to be in Baltimore on Sunday along with Carnival Pride, but they may not make it there either due to the fact that the ships are in the Port Canaveral area waiting for the hurricane to pass first.
