WOW, that was easy!   I called and got her voice mail, so I left my name and dates.  A short while later I get an email confirming the reservation.  Done!

Yup I streamlined everything for the hotel with more to come in the next few days ~

Canadian is such a wonderful language. I don't speak it but it sounds magical

It's basically English, with an influence of Scottish, Irish, and French, and a touch of American.  At least, in most of the country.  

In Quebec, and other regions, it's French, with an influence of Scottish, Irish, and English, and a touch of American.

Tell 'm about Newfoundland then....

Is Newfoundland like Cape Breton?  
When we were on Cape Breton it took us a while to figure out that they were actually speaking English, heavily influenced by Scottish, Irish and French.  

I think, though, that the locals made up a lot of words (or went to Gaelic) just to confuse us tourists.  

I gotta say, though, the local Celtic music on Cape Breton is outstanding.

Newfoundlanders speak English, but with a number of different dialects, depending on where they come from in the province.  There are 'townies', who you can pretty well understand, and 'bay boys' (pronounced bay bys) who you might not be able to understand.  We lived and worked there for two years, and my wife (who taught nursing at the university), developed the ability to discern what outport or bay her students came from.  Most of my students were townies, so I never had the pleasure.

We never had any difficulty understanding them or being understood, and it was a great two years.  They do have a few unique expressions, though.  But that's another story...

I love the idea of having meals at the hotel. Taking a ride in a speedster in the dark and rain is not my idea of a relaxing way to end the evening. More time to chat and a raffle that isn't rushed.

Thanks , Alan, (and all) this stuff doesn't just "happen" .

Lol, Al you made me laugh we are getting "old eyes"

What?  You mean everybody else isn't driving with their high beams on? 

The trailer guys could sleep in their tow vehicles in the hotel parking lot and bum showers from the paying guests. If I was dragging an enclosed car-hauler, I'd absolutely do it. Roll out a memory-foam mattress in the back, and Bob's your uncle.

I tell my kids all I need is an extension cord and a garden hose, and I'm set for a couple of weeks at least.

Showfield tent, tables and folding chairs are ordered.

Aside from the many entertaining activities on the showfield itself—which include auto-crossing and a "low car limbo" which Spyders tend to win when entered—I will be supplying two self-guided twisty-road/scenic overlook/winery/covered bridge/pub/lunch tours for our members to drive solo or in groups at their own leisure.

Both are about 100 miles and will take 2-3 hours of drive time on nice roads.
