PEI is still as magical as LMM described it<br /><br />Colin: Thank you! Isn't it amazing how place can be as much a part of a story as a main character?<br /><br />Mrs. Silverstein: I will have to check out the Shipwright's inn for my next trip! I stayed at Kindred Spirits in Cavendish and it was so cozy and wonderful.<br /><br />Jaime: I was lucky enough to have frequent flyer miles to get me to Moncton *whew* I love Canada and have visited 4 provinces so far, but I want to get out to the western and central provinces/territories someday! (I have volunteered at the last 2 Canada games-- next one is in the summer in Quebec, but I'm debating whether or not I want to go to Saskatchewan for the winter games!<br /><br />Crystal: It's so peaceful and perfect for writing, isn't it?<br /><br />commutinggirl: You must! There are the prettiest B&Bs, lovely tea houses, plenty of nature and lighthouses and local color (Some ideas came to me while hearing local stories at a celidh!)<br /><br />Arianna: Visit, visit! My pics (and the internet pics) just don't do it justice. Waking up on PEI was REALLY like Dorothy arriving in Oz!<br /><br />veela-valoom: Ooooooh. This convention NEEDS to happen (haven't they been talking about/have built a new convention centre in Charlottetown? UPEI will also allow people to rent out their dorms for some conventions during breaks...Issyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04272961878872005524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747629121118887994.post-22980159128379324352012-01-04T18:44:39.983-05:002012-01-04T18:44:39.983-05:00Me and my friends on goodreads have talked about h...Me and my friends on goodreads have talked about how we need to have a YA fan convention and converge on PEI.

It would definitely be an awesome place to get some writing done.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04553993991195412089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747629121118887994.post-78213806354403203592012-01-04T13:04:56.736-05:002012-01-04T13:04:56.736-05:00Ah, love the Maritimes!

You can't beat the red sand and gorgeous views. I've been dreaming of returning to that neck of the woods, but it's about as expensive to fly there from Alberta as it is to fly to Europe. Great choice :)Jaime Morrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03023932422477544525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747629121118887994.post-12386987960309787722012-01-04T12:15:21.105-05:002012-01-04T12:15:21.105-05:00Ah, fantastic choice!

Cavendish is sort of magical...although my memories are tinged with frustration, as I was there the weekend the final Harry Potter book came out, and we could not find a single copy there! We had to wait until we got back to Charlottetown an agonizing two days later--but then we bought two copies and hung around our beautiful room at the Shipwright Inn (an awesome, awesome B&B in Charlottetown) reading for a whole day.Mrs. Silversteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15081113623522933830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747629121118887994.post-90888575236766624442012-01-04T12:14:09.077-05:002012-01-04T12:14:09.077-05:00Looks nice, but I don't know that I would want...Looks nice, but I don't know that I would want to be *that* isolated. But it's cool that you got to visit the place after reading about it, and that it lived up to your dreams. :)Colin Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03292997431935215499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747629121118887994.post-6013447736180648482012-01-04T09:16:50.233-05:002012-01-04T09:16:50.233-05:00You've been to PEI!

It's like when you get on the boat, you know you're leaving your life behind and the rest of the world behind, and you can really focus.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03962195808757078787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747629121118887994.post-388509819919688692012-01-04T08:54:27.046-05:002012-01-04T08:54:27.046-05:00Pretty, I like it.
