Whaaat? No visit to Green Gables??? (clutches pearls) ... I know office workers in Toronto who spend their whole summer on the Island because of the lovely people and relaxed vibe.
On the fifth minute they visited green gables..
So glad I found this video. Born and raised on PEI and its so easy to forget just how lucky we are to live here. Great job showing how beautiful our little island is :)
I was born in Summerside, but raised
in NS. Spent all my summers however in PEI. Ever summer in Twin Shores for many years.
…born in PEI and love and treasure the opportunity to travel back through your videos !!!
What an incredible place to be born and raised! So glad you found us and are along for the journey! 👍 -Howard
this is the very best video of my homeland…not since I was 5, but always in my heart!!
I say it all the time, but you two find the best places to go! What a quaint and incredibly beautiful place! Another one on my list and the food!! Oh my!! ❤️❤️
Enjoy seeing all the beautiful coastal towns! I'm craving ice cream now. I wonder why. lol Love seeing Scout living her best life! I was following you when you adopted her in Mexico. She has come such a long way! She defintely won the dog lottery with you two!
Wow! Thank you for showcasing our little island! Cheers!
Glad you enjoyed it, and we are big fans of PEI! Hope to return again soon. 👍 - Howard
I’m actually flying to PEI tomorrow for the first time so this is very helpful. Thank you 😊
Have a great time and glad we could help! Hope you'll continue on the journey with us. 👍 -Howard
You two sure have a lot of fun😊❤️
Loved your video of the island where I was born and raised. A very peaceful place.
And I'll enjoy it even more the second time with the cc, so I don't miss a word.
Thanks for sharing the information and beauty. We will have to go back to these videos once we are able to head that way ourselves.
For our 20th anniversary my husband and I went to PEI, staying one night at the West Point Lighthouse. With all your stops on this island I'd love to go back. We entered the island via the extremely long bridge. Of course we had to stop at the Anne of Gables sights. The red sand beaches were wonderful and the warm water made it a relief from the hot day.
Awesome! Thank you for sharing love what u guys do! Wish you had longer videos… because they’re so good and informative
Beautiful photography episode. Especially loved the garden/lighthouse image. Great stuff as usual.
Many thanks, glad you enjoyed the episode and we're so thankful you're along for the journey! 👍 -Howard
So many places to see on PEI it’s a magical island 🇨🇦
Great tour of PEI, this will help plan our trip for next yr with all the amazing places visited . Thank you ☺️, love the channel and your videos folks .
John, thanks so much and glad to hear about your trip next year to PEI! Please keep us posted, and if we can answer any questions or point you in the right direction as you plan. Thanks for being on the journey with us! 👍 -Howard
That spaghetti sundae was amazing! 💖🍨
Loved the tiger artwork piece with the feathers. Just spectacular! 💞
Thanks for sharing this beautiful land.
-Troy & Aimee
Leave it to Howard to find the weirdest thing on the menu 🤣🍝 it was very yummy! And yes! Those feather art pieces, holy cow. They were even more magnificent in person! So beautiful. Thanks, as always, for watching guys! -Katelyn
Beautiful sand castle 🏰 for sure. Awesome job. And the ice cream 😋. I will say the ferry over is huge especially to see a tractor trailer on it 😳 great video 👍🏼
After 12 yrs of not being there I finally got to go back in July and going again at the end of September. Family down there and miss it again already. Great video. Keep it up!
And yes the thing about p.e.i is if you ask for directions or anything, be willing to talk. 🤣 so friendly and talkative there.
Awesome video guys 😊✌️🧘♂️❤️👣
Thanks guys!! Your Alaska guide was fantastic!! We did it all..just leaving Alaska..now for 1600 miles of Yukon and BC!! 😮😮.
One of the best videos of my island..
Can hardly wait for this one. "And away we go!"
a lot has changed, was there abou 60 years ago, we hope to get back next year. thanks guys.
❤️Love your beautiful video’s 🤗
Thank you so much for making PEI look we great as it is I have lived in PEI and have stayed at twin shores a few summers and have also had Maurice Bernard as my art teacher in Kensington!
Great job guys, thank you
Thank you for such a wonderful review of the Island my family and I call home. If you ever come back I can recommend some more wonderful experiences here on the Island.
Loved this video. I’m a westerner exploring the East. Thanks for your video. I am definitely intrigued with that garden!
Great presentation! Love your narration.
Daniel, thanks so much for the kind words! Hope you'll continue on the journey with us. 👍 - Howard
Great video...you hit all my favorite spots...so much more to see...like the Great Canadian Soap Company near The Dunes, Greenwich Beach, Beach Goats near Abram Village etc. etc.
Andrea, thanks so much! You're absolutely right, there's much more to see, and that is always a challenge of what to include in our episodes. Now, tell me more about these goats!! 👍 - Howard
Your journalist background definitely shows. Watching your video feels like traveling along with you. You have brought so many amazing places, restaurants, and ice-cream shops in front of us. Truly high quality Vlog! For sure, we will visit a couple places introduced by you in our fall travel to PEI and NS. Thank you!!
Thanks so much for the kind words! How was your trip to PEI and NS?! Any recommendations to pass along for us and other viewers? Thanks for watching and hope you'll continue on the journey with us! 👍 -Howard
Great informational video. Thanks Don
Don, thanks so much! We're so glad you're along for the journey. 👍 -Howard
thank you! Planning a summer trip to PEI and this was endlessly helpful :)
Awesome, love hearing that and please let us know how your trip goes next summer! Thanks so much for watching and hope you'll continue on the journey with us. 👍 -Howard
YUM-MY Ice creams! HUGE lobsters! CUTESY towns and villages! Yep, yep, and YEP! I could just drive and camp in our “Lucy” all over PEI, it’s so beautiful, yet quaint. I now remember my old BF’s address was in Charlottetown, but his grandpa’s farm was out in the boonies…what a fun place to visit. Thank you as-always for bringing this old gal along with you!, ❤️🥰 Virginia
Very cool video, thx guys!
Oh, you make me want to go there. And it is not something that has ever been on my radar. I am so impressed!!!
Oh yay!! We always love when that happens ☺️ so fun sharing new places! It really is a beautiful island with so much culture and history, we barely scratched the surface!
Oh wow, you were in my nieghborhood in Montague. Hope you enjoyed your visit.
Amazing island!
Thank you for such a beautiful video. P.E.I. is a place where we definitely want to go. Sooner than later actually. The places you visited were so beautiful. By the way, I loved your Sand Castle. Great job 🙂
Wow! Great video! PEI is now on my bucket list! And their oysters are my favorite. I also can’t decide what I love more: Howard’s new shirt or your amazing sand castle artistry. If I tried that, it would look like a big, mushy mound of nonsense! 😂
Thanks, Shannon! I think y'all would love PEI, and you could have an incredible time exploring the Maritimes. Also, that's my new favorite shirt now! 😂👍 - Howard
Peter and Nash at The Dunes are friends and I just want to thank you for showcasing their spot. We ( Green Gay Bulls BnB) LOVE directing our guests there...they are always amazed!
Thanks guys! Another awesome video! One more month till we hit Maine!
You're so welcome!! 🙌 Yay! The countdown is officially on. ☺️
Great video!
Nice video guys. I'm born and raised in Summerside PEI. You missed a couple things, one is Greenwich beach in St Peters. It has a boardwalk over protected marsh lands and a nature trail just to get to the beach. A lot of people don't go there because of the long walk to get to the beach, but it is white sands for as far as you can see and very few people. Best beach on the Island! The singing sands around Basin Head are really cool as well. When you walk on the sand, it makes weird squeaky sounds and the beach is to die for as well. And You also should have left the Island on the Confederation Bridge rather than the ferry. It is the longest bridge in the world over Ice covered waters and an experience all in itself. And once you hit the other side, you are in NB and only a short drive to Moncton and Magnetic Hill. Glad you enjoyed the Island. If you ever come back, look us up, we are always camping around the three provinces in the summer. Safe Travels!
Danny thanks so much and appreciate all the great recommendations! I know it won't be our last trip to PEI, and many others watching this episode will certainly benefit from a locals perspective! 👍 -Howard
Love ❤ - so beautiful!!
So glad you enjoyed it!! So much to see and do 😍 thanks for watching! -Katelyn
Since you’ve spent so much time in Canada I vote we make you both know honorary Canadians …great video ,been going to PEI every summer for over fifteen years
Excellent 👏 👏
Aww thanks so much, Kit!! ☺️❤️
This is a very late comment but I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed this! Maurice Bernard is a very cool guy! I was in his after school art class for 4 years!
The video is so interesting, I never knew much about Prince Edward Island, it's very pretty too
So glad you enjoyed learning about it, Kimia! It really is beautiful. Thanks so much for watching! -Katelyn
We're headed there next week for their International Seafood festival! What a treat to stumble on your channel (just subscribed) and really enjoyed watching your videos as a prep for our trip. You've also inspired us to rent an RV next summer and road trip with our dogs from NH to New Brunswick (Fundy)! Thanks again for the great videos. 😊
Angela, just seeing your comment, hope you had a great trip to PEI! Also, that road trip next summer sounds fantastic. Lots of excellent camping along your route, can't wait to hear about all the adventures when you complete the trip! 👍 -Howard
Just found this! I will be checking out your adventures, it seems like you're living my dream life! So great!
OMG! Just saw you were in Santa Fe a while back, my neck of the woods! Hope you're able to make it back this way some day!
That bottle house is crazy beautiful, and the spaghetti ice cream is so bizarre! 😁
You covered some of our favorite PEI spots. We stay at Twin Shores all summer so it was nice to see your experience here. I was surprised you didn’t take the Confederation Bridge to New Brunswick which is much faster than the ferry.
Looks like a great place
OMG I LIVE HERE!!!! AND I EAT OYSTERS RAWWW
Loved this video! I visited Nova Scotia and New Brunswick four years ago. I'm sorry I didn't make it to PEI! Next time!!!
Nancy, there's absolutely next time! We're big fans of the area, and it has been four years since our last visit, too! 👍 -Howard
hahaha, Your sandcastle is so spectacular.
Haha, we tried our best! Thanks Alli! ❤
Just stumbled on to your channel, you both are so sweet, genuine and positive, needless to say, I subscribed , I will be in PEI next week, planning on moving there hopefully and this video helped so much on the positive side.
P.S. I have to get that that T-shirt next week!
Hi Bobby!! SO glad you found us and right before your trip, great timing! We hope you have a wonderful time in PEI and please let us know if you get that tshirt!!! 😂👏 -Katelyn
I'm looking forward to next week. I don't believe either of you like ice cream ? hehe It did look inviting. I liked the ferries. Neat. Glad to see your dog can come on the deck with their owners. I Really enjoyed this video. Have a nice week.
Ice cream? Yuck 😝😂 seriously some of the best we've had! Yes, loved having Scout up top on the ferry with us! So glad you enjoyed this one, Kimberly! Thanks for watching ❤️ -Katelyn
Yo vivo en la isla ya tengo 3 años aqui. Con mi familia y estamos muy contentos somos Mexicanos. Un saludo a todos los latinos!!
You can find the same red sandstone cliffs, beaches and sand bars, and warm water, on the other side of the strait on the NS and NB shores.
Waiting for your experience at Magnetic Hill 💘😊💝
Great video guys, I love your vibe and suggested sights to see. I’ll definitely watch your other videos. I’m travelling out East this summer with my 2 dogs and I wonder what do you do with yours when visiting indoor restaurants?
Juat discovered your channel today , hello from New Brunswick 😊 i love your positivity you bring as tourists , also i reslly enjoy that you encorporate bits of local history and stories . I love P.E.I so much . Did you get a chance to explore Cavendish and see the sights of Anne of Green Gables , also the confederation bridge linking the island to NB is awesome to drive across ❤
It was great to meet you guys at Cape Egmont lighthouse and thanks for the seconds of fame for our Arctic Fox fifth wheel. Enjoy your journey!
Tom & Traci
We absolutely loved meeting and chatting with you two!! I hope the rest of your trip was great. Haha I spy! 👀 Hope our paths cross again soon one day! -Katelyn
Just got back from the maritimes and we were on PEI we sat for a long time at the Malpeque Oyster Barn eating until we couldn’t
Oh my stars - with all that amazing seafood and ice cream you would have to roll me off the ferry! I’ve wanted to travel to PEI for so long just from reading Anne of Green Gables many times growing up. This video just cemented that dream into my to-do list. What an incredible journey this has been - can’t wait to see where it leads next week. Thanks for sharing; safe travels and stay well.
Hey Guys,
I just found your channel, what an amazing job you’ve done on the Maritime provinces, I from and live in Yarmouth, NS. Born in Summerside PEI, and work most of the year in the Alberta Oil industry, after seeing your great videos, I’m home sick, again such an amazing job with interesting facts and show casing our beautiful provinces.
I heard a guy say one time “ This is Gods Country “ “ you probably won’t see God…but you will see his best work “
David Arsenault / Canada 🇨🇦
I seen you vans....two the very same on PEI....
What a wonderful place! I never would have known how incredible it was if you hadn’t shared it with us! Thanks for all your hard work to bring us this adventure!
You might want to add that there is a bridge you can take to get there. Great video..Thanks.
Yes, Confederation Bridge, we took it both ways, the ferry cost was a little steep for our cheapness.
You should have tried the Cows chocolate covered potato chips. Mmmmmmmm!
Cam, we did and they were delicious!! 👍-Howard
That’s neat
Well-made travelogue! It satisfied my curiosity and I think we’ll skip PEI. It’s too over-the-top dainty, lol.
Both my parents are from the island and I have spent many summers all over the island there over the last 50 years. I have never visited Holman's so thanks for that tip! Why did you not take the bridge to go to New Brunswick?
@Newstate Nomads : All your videos are of great quality , what camera do you use pls ?
Shame you couldn't fit in a visit to one of the north Shore beaches, like at Greenwich, which also has an incredible boardwalk. Beautiful white sand, but colder water.
Great video & lots of fun things to see & do. I love listening to you both speak but how do you remember everything to tell us? Sometimes I feel like I'm watching a traveling show on Create TV which is a great station for travels everywhere. Thank You!
Joann, thanks so much! We both come from media backgrounds, so it definitely helps. Also, the wonderful magic of editorial covers for all the times we forget things (which is all the time), haha. That's high praise comparing us to a network show, and we appreciate it! 👍 - Howard
Just to let you know, the ferry you were on had a fire on it few weeks ago. They had to abandon ship, thankfully very close to shore. Nobody hurt.
How do y’all continue to find such amazing locations?! Love your channel
Maybe someday we’ll get over there, but living in San Diego PEI is so very far away.
Terry, thanks so much for the kind words! San Diego is wonderful, we're hoping to return soon. Any local rec's that most people visiting might miss? 👍 - Howard
As you enjoy ice cream, keep your eyes open for the uniquely Canadian flavour, Tiger Tail (aka Tiger Tiger)
Very good. Like your style Andrew. hey, if you see this.. and recall, did any or many of the pubs and restaurants offer gluten free food or brew options? Thanks!
Supr video but, sigh, no closeup look at Green Gables. Loved those books.
Awww I know 🤦♀️😂 I knew we'd get that question... Neither of us have read the books or really know much about it. So given our limited time on island, we felt like we wouldn't be able to fully appreciate it. Next time!
LOL, Anne is a literary icon. There was a wonderful made for TV movie of Anne's story. Worth getting a hold of to watch. I'm assuming you have a dvd player in the van.It's probably a UA-cam movie. Was a minor disappointment, loved your video.
PS Yep the movie is on YT to rent or buy.
I live in montague !!!
We loved exploring Montague! Question, though: how's the weather in winter? We've heard some parts of PEI have abnormally warmer winters. Thanks for watching! 👍 - Howard
It basically 2 options either a snowstorm every day or there's no snow till February @@NewstateNomads thanks for replying!
Pausing video at ice ream, need some of my butter pecan
Excellent snack choice!!👍😊
Those pies looked a lot like Cornish Pasties.
you have dogs, what are you doing with them when out and where they not allowed on beaches etc?
my fishing boat in victoria
😎
Which lighthouses were your favourites. Did you try a few lobster rolls?
Was waiting for your reaction of the most iconic tourist spot on PEI, what happened to Anne of Green Gables?
I was prepared to get this question and told Howard I'd take full responsibility 🤣🙋♀️ we had such limited time on the island and we've both never read the books and felt like we couldn't truly appreciate it without understanding what we were even looking at. Next time!!
@@NewstateNomads next time stay at Cavendish campground and you can cycle to Green Gables along the shoreline. The water there is COLD!
How do you guys do it. Stay so slim. I mean the amount of food I see is massive.
Where are your beautiful earrings from ? Thx 😊
The ferries have their own wifi, you didn’t need to use your data at all.
You missed Anne of Green Gables
What breed of dog is that at 0:38 seconds?
We aren't 100% sure! 🤣 She's our Mexican beach dog and we've never done a DNA test on her. We think she has some pointer in her. She's only about 30 lbs!
@@NewstateNomads She reminds me of my 12 year old puppy, who passed away last month. She was a mix of Border Collie, Australian Shepard, and Cocker Spaniel. Longer hair than yours but lots of life while she was here on earth, like your dog .
How do you not gain weight with all of those delicious foods you eat? What happened to green gables? That would be my first stop.
Lots and lots of walking 🤣 and we don't eat like that every day! So we debated green gables but I told Howard I'd take full responsibility on answering about that. I felt like because neither one of us read the books, we wouldn't be able to fully appreciate it. So it's part of our homework for next time!
