Another Trip to Newfoundland

After last year's solo trip back to Newfoundland, Jude insisted she wanted to go along with me for a trip this summer. I figured I would use the experience gained from last year's trip to plan this one a little better. This would prove to be futile.

Unlike last year, I gave us 14 hours to get to the ferry instead of 12 so we could drive a little slower, save gas and have a bit of time to enjoy the trip. As it turned out, we arrived at the ferry terminal in North Sydney at 11:30 PM - about 2 hours before departure time. Unfortunately, as we paid for our tickets we were told the ferry was running a bit late and probably wouldn't leave until 2:30 AM.
