The MV Leif Ericson is one of Marine Atlantic’s ferries that sail between Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. - ContributedWe drove to Ontario this summer to visit with a few ex-military friends. I don't like to fly, so my wife and I and our eight-year-old son drove.
But the same could not be said for the TCH on the mainland. Road construction and delays everywhere. Hundreds of miles of construction in all four provinces, and getting through Montreal was madness. On the return trip, I decided, after a visit with a Quebec friend, to bypass Montreal and the construction north of the city was even worse.
But that's not why I write. I write about Marine Atlantic. We wanted to travel via Argentia but there were no cabins. My fault; I waited too long to book. No one to blame but myself. But even if we had we been able to book one it would have cost us $223.67, nearly double what we spent to stay at every other hotel on the highway.But that's not what really got my goat!
