Whether you celebrate this time of year or not, we can all still take a moment and give thanks for this beautiful country we live […]

Hot Springs not Cold Winters

Winter is here on Prince Edward Island. There is nothing more refreshing then bundling up with a warm coffee enjoying the ever changing winter landscape. Mornings include fog rolling in, a light dusting of snow on the ground and every once in awhile a moment of peek-a-boo sunshine. I love it. The air is crisper. […]

Snow Angel on P.E.I.

A snow angel must be on my shoulder looking out over me, listening to me begging for more snow so the winter adventures can begin! I listen as the country is getting snow, but not me. Then today the snow landed on Prince Edward Island, Canada! In Canada we are fortunate to have four beautiful and […]

Old Quebec City – Atmosphere for Romance

It is a welcomed challenge and privilege every year to research provinces, territories and their communities in our country for Canada EH Tourism (www.CanadaEH.net). Every year we visit as many communities as we can as we criss cross Canada. Most meet our expectations, some fall short of our expectations and a few are all hype […]

2010 Adventures – Wye a Marsh?

Often in our world of tourism weather is used as an excuse for a slow tourism year or for people staying indoors instead of venturing outside. Why is that? I admit that on some days this may be true for some – but here at EH TOURISM those are just seasons. It is a time […]

2010 Adventures – Wasaga Beach Wobbles

In our line of work, the marketing of Canadian tourism, we have come to appreciate many natural features of Canada. We are always learning more about the country and are fast becoming very knowledgeable on every aspect of tourism in this country. Learning and growing is a very positive perk arrived from zig-zagging, back and […]

2010 Adventure Series – Bruce Trail

Every once in awhile you find a corner of Canada which takes your breathe away. A destination that catches you by surprise, somewhere that receives very little fan fare, somewhere you have not heard of before and maybe, just maybe, somewhere that gets overshadowed by a neighboring tourism destination. In this case Muskoka gets all […]

2010 Adventures – Manitoulin Island

2010 Adventure Highlights – Manitoulin Island A look back at some of the best adventures of 2010. When I look back at the summer of 2010 traveling and researching in Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick for our CanadaEH.net Travel Network I can sit back and smile and be thankful. I am thankful for the life […]

Algonquin Provincial Park

2010 Adventure Highlights – Algonquin Provincial Park A look back at some of the best adventures of 2010. Algonquin Provincial Park left some lasting memories with me. It was one of the few times where I felt alone in nature, away from the big city sights and sounds in 2010. Algonquin was a self imposed […]

CBC Radio Road Show

You know things are going in the right direction when the media begins to start to contact you. Since the beginning of EH we have been fortunate enough to be contacted by magazines, websites, writers and government on a regular basis for use of our information and photos. I find it an honor to be […]

Something Fishy on P.E.I.

Up at the crack of dawn, brewed some java, did some stretching… had a yawn here and there.. and then settled in for some quality time on the computer working and building some EH Tourism magic. But on this morning there was a twist, something different was planned, something real fishy was going to go […]

EH Mailbox on Prince Edward Island

Eberlee House (ironically known to us as the EH Base Camp) is now taking shape. We have settled in for the winter, offices are set up, and we have begun to hunker down for some long hard hours developing and building EH Tourism websites. The EH Tourism of websites are our life. It is a […]

Walking Confederation in Charlottetown

Charlottetown is the birth place of Confederation. It is the capital city on the province of Prince Edward Island, Canada. It is the centre of commerce, transportation and government for the island. And it is about to get the once over by EH Tourism. I packed up, geared up and was ready to go in. […]

Should, Could… Wood Islands

My plan was to explore the Wood Islands region of Prince Edward Island all the way up to Charlottetown. The route would complete my tour of the East Point Coastal Drive. From the map the route looked scenic, mostly waterfront. In reality the route was mostly farm land with side roads leading out to waterfront […]

Wow Factor in P.E.I.

Prince Edward Island is a whole new world in my eyes…  I feel like an early explorer first discovering this beautiful island.  Everywhere I look seems to be a postcard image.  There are cliffs and beaches painted in red, lighthouses perched on almost every point, marinas dot the coastline, small fishing villages in pastel colors […]

Exploring Habits Hard to Break on P.E.I.

After taking some down time to unwind at our accommodation (Eberlee House) in Murray Harbour on Prince Edward Island it was time to get back to work. Normally, once we settle in for the winter, we change our focus from researching to development of our travel network.. www.CanadaEH.net . But the weather has been way […]

EH Tourism Winter Writer’s Retreat

During the summer months, Bro has been researching the Atlantic Provinces searching for an ideal winter working base camp. It is during the winter that we retire the Travel Pods and take up residence in an accommodation. The accommodation acts as a base camp for the winter as we power down on keyboards, white boards […]

Hopewell Rocks Mud Flat Party

Anxious, excited and curious is how I felt as I anticipated my visit to Hopewell Rocks. It is the most talked about natural attraction in the Moncton, New Brunswick area. Located east of Moncton, the Hopewell Rocks is a park and sightseeing destination enjoyed on foot during low tides and by kayak during high tides. […]
