After Charlotteown and Alma (New Brunswick), we finished our fall 2025 getaway to PEI with several days exploring beaches, lighthouses and more off-the-beaten track attractions and locations. And enjoying the full on fall colours - what we came for!

Two Days in New Brunswick
Follow along our adventures between Charlottetown, PEI and Alma, NB; a guided e-fatbike ride in Fundy Trail Provincial Park; as we check out the tiny villages of St. Martins and Alma, and along the scenic Fundy Trail Parkway.
Out and About in Charlottetown, PEI
Between 23,500 steps and 235 km driving, we took in the highlights of Charlottetown and a portion of PEI's Points East Coastal Drive over 2 jam-packed days in early October 2025.
Seattle Mini-Vacation
Mother Nature blessed us with sunshine for four wonderful days in Seattle in early October. Highlights of our mini-vacay include MoPOP, Chihuly Garden and Glass and the NW Chocolate Festival.
Las Vegas to Phoenix Vacation
In January 2020, when we planned a 10-day trip to California, Nevada and Phoenix, we were aware of COVID-19: a new and highly-infectious virus centered in Wuhan, China. And we took what we thought were appropriate precautions, such as wearing a cloth mask during flights; disinfecting door handles, light switches and remotes in our hotel rooms; and hanging the "no service please" sign so that housekeeping stayed out for the duration of our stay. But we enjoyed eating out three times/day, joined throngs of people exploring Las Vegas at night and didn't hesitate to get up close to the eyepiece of the Clark Telescope at the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff. We certainly didn't imagine our 10-day getaway would be our only vacation in 2020 and into the foreseeable future.
