You can check the weather via the internet or the Weather Channel as both regularly post forecasts for eastern Canada. As of this printing, the exchange rates between U.S. and Canadian currencies is virtually even. Should this change, we will keep you apprised before our travel dates. Many travelers prefer to use credit cards while traveling as card companies automatically make the conversion rates for you and you are billed in U.S. dollars. We estimate that you will need approximately $350-400 per person for meals that not included in this package, plus any shopping you may wish to do. While we are traveling, we will be sharing music, videos and stories. During our many previous visits to the area, we have acquired many stories that we believe will bring insight to the areas in which we travel and the people who live there, thereby enhancing your overall experience to Atlantic Canada. Bring a friend and come along as we see more, do more, discover more and ENJOY MORE in Nova Scotia and the Maritimes.
