Headed To Newfoundland

Well ,we are in and safe for the night, at least the 3 of us headed to Newfoundland tomorrow.We endured the tearful separation from our travelmates this morning...not really tearful actually...but can't help but feel a little sorry for them. The poor fools have headed home to make it back to work Monday. Definitely a pitiable situation ;but on the other hand those of us unemployed types plan to board the ferry at 6:30 AM and head over to Newfoundland (6 hour crossing time) and make our way eventually to Labrador to tackle the Translabrador highway...a 1000 mile dirt road in the middle of nowhere...'Course this morning when the 4 employed blokes headed back south, the wives also split to Halifax before flying home. Sure enjoyed their presence the past few days. Don't know what I am gonna do about my morning coffee now...I'm going to sign off til tomorrow...no wi-fi in the room...using the hotel lobby computer and some large, grumpy looking Canuck seems anxious for my seat...and ,hey, my hat is a cool hat, dang it!!!

Thursday morning in Halifax from the girls - Wednesday night, about 9:15 EDT , the Iron Butt 4 called to say they were only 150 miles short of their 1000 mile destination and they were going to push on until they finished. We haven't heard from them since and decided not to call them this morning in case they were sleeping in which is exactly what they should be doing. So, we will update their progress as soon as we can. We will walk and shop today and I am sure we will eat . . .
