Mum is a big Anne of Green Gables fan, so we’d planned to take her to Prince Edward Islands, birthplace of author LM Montgomery and where it was all set, for her 70th birthday. Unfortunately buying a flat became a priority that year and it was decided we would postpone the big trip for a year.
Plans started early in 2015, we decided we would not only visit PEI but also Toronto and Boston. Initial plans to hire a car and drive from PEI down to Boston proved expensive, crossing from Canada and leaving the car in Boston would cost us around £1,000 so we changed plans and decided a drive from Halifax to Charlottetown would be nice enough.
