Dundarave Hole by Hole – Just Amazing
In my first post from a trip to Prince Edward Island a few years ago I featured a hole by hole post on the wonderful course at Mill River. From here Alison I moved east to Brudenell River Resort. While the resort itself was closed due to the Covid restrictions that have prevented it from […]

North Cape Coastal Drive PEI
In late February, 2020 Alison and I returned from a trip to Central America just as the entire world was about to change in ways that were unimaginable at the beginning of the year. As travel writers our plans for a trip to Australia, New Zealand and Tahiti in April and May died in the […]
