Well it took us 8 days to drive to St.John's. We drove to Winnipeg in 2 days and then went through the States. We hit a blizzard just outside Fargo, North Dakota and had to find a motel. We were lucky to find a motel/gas station/convenience store/Dairy Queen. Next day we made it past Chicago to a town about a half hour or so past the Chicago area in Indiana. We ordered a Chicago style stuffed deep dish pizza. It sucked and ended up leaving about 2 thirds of it in the hotel room. Next day we made it to Syracuse, NY. Tried to hook up with John Nugent but he was out of town. Next we drove to a small town just outside the U.S./Canada border and stayed there. We could have made it to Canada that day but the motels are a lot cheaper in the U.S. Next day we made it to Sidney, Nova Scotia by late afternoon/early evening. We waited in North Sidney for the ferry which leaves at 11:30pm and takes about 7 or 8 hours. Oddly enough the best meal we had the whole trip was in North Sidney. We went to some kind of divey donair/pizza place near the ferry called Munchees, I think. Really good donair and really good pizza. The pizza was almost like New York pizza and was the best I've had in a long time(other than my own haha). Ferry ride was a trip. Lots of drunk newfies boozing it up in the bar. After the ferry we made it to St. John's by mid-late afternoon. It was a loooooong drive but not nearly as boring as i thought it was going to be. Terry
