"A bridge too far"... I see what you did there! ( Also, I hope you visited the PEI Preserve Company while you were in New Glasgow.)

Funny thing - I'm on my way to PEI on Thursday. Sorry to have missed you!

I spent many happy days on PEI while visiting my parents in Moncton, New Brunswick. First the relaxing ride on the ferry, then later traversing that beautiful bridge. And fresh lobster on the beach - the best thing ever! The Trudeau family seems to have an affinity for the Maritimes. My dad, a writer for the government, was tasked with writing speeches for Trudeau the Elder on his visits to the area years ago and received personal phone calls from the PM thanking him for his excellent prose. The Trudeau men are full of surprises!

Congrats on the upcoming publication. So pleased you could relax and enjoy the spirit of the Island before you head out on your promotional tour.

Very cool, Beverley. We had a great time. Such a beautiful part of the country.

There's nothing like a week in God's country to restore one's soul. My father was an islander and I have several aunts and one uncle still alive. We head to Brackley in early September.

Terry, your name and Pamela Paterson’s have shown up on my iPad twice in a week – here in the photo credits of your Charlottetown tour, and earlier, your endorsement of her new book, ‘Take Me Back to Cairo’ (with Tarik Hussein). Small world I suppose; I only know Pamela because she also serves on the CAA Board of Directors.

The world just keeps getting smaller. Pam is great as is her husband Tarek Hussein.

Ha, if you look hard enough you can see PM Trudeau's security. They're the guys with the blue vests looking stern.

I saw him on the Danforth after the shooting. He's really tall!

It's really too bad and saddening the vitriol he receives. In the age of the internet and social media I guess it's expected to be worse than in past years.

PEI looks so peaceful and beautiful.

Once your book is out expect to hear from me, sooner or later!
