Sad, but true. Our time on Prince Edward Island has come to a close ~ neither of us can believe that we have spent four weeks here ~ in some ways it seems as if we just arrived.
Some final thoughts, in no particular order......
1. We definitely enjoyed a great exchange rate! 1 USD was about 1.40 CAD, so even with higher prices, we never really felt it. (We have been to Canada when the USD and CAD were on par, so we have experienced the other side as well.)
2. Our Airbnb worked out great. In fact, it was larger than we expected and we never even used the downstairs room except to store our luggage. That being said, the one thing that was a miss was that it is on a single road that has a dead-end on one end and a busy road on the other, and no sidewalks. We enjoy walking at night and really could not do that without driving somewhere. So next time we come to PEI (and yes, there will be a next time), we will be more cognizant of this. We would like to try to stay downtown Charlottetown at some point and see what that is like. (We were downtown when we were here four years ago, but did not take advantage of it at the time.)
3. We drove a ton and saw some amazing views....as well as lots of crops, especially potatoes......
4. Our cache of sea glass has expanded......(Brad has a great eye for spotting these!)
What is sea glass exactly? From tourism PEI:
PEI sea glass is weathered, frost-coated pieces of discarded glass smoothed by decades of wave action along the shores of Prince Edward Island. Originating from old household waste, shipwrecks, and Prohibition-era bottles, these colorful frosted gems wash up heavily along the island's southern and eastern beaches.
(So yes, basically trash! 😂)
5. We really (REALLY!) like it here. People are nice, the pace is slower, the weather is cool, it is just a relaxed place. As stated before, we will be back for an equally long stay, if not longer.

PS - We are still traveling, so stay tuned.....
