Then again, I have not been there in years. Enjoy your trip — I believe that you will have a good time — and please post a trip report when you have the opportunity.
Part of my trip will be spent at Cabot Links in Inverness, a golf resort with two highly ranked courses. The developers also did Bandon Dunes in Oregon which I have visited and found to be a tremendous locale. The reviews indicate that Cabot may well be better. Add in a visit to the Glenora Distillery, a drive along the Cabot Trail, and Canada Day festivities, and I'm figuring I'll have a pleasant trip. And as a relief from Virginia summertime temperatures, I'm looking forward to cooler weather.
I have a very nice Canadian friend who thinks that the folks in Halifax may be the friendliest in Canada. I trust her judgment so I think I won't be disappointed about that either.
As I said, this is certainly not an "aspirational" trip in the bloggerverse, but it's a trip that I've delayed for too long. Different strokes for different folks. Or horses for courses. . .
