Has anyone been to Prince Edward Island?

I've been wanting to go and a friend and I began to make plans but now she seems to be backing out. If you've been there but would rather PM me, that's ok. I'd just like to know if you have hotel and restaurant recommendations and sights to see. I may end up having to go alone but I'd like to go before summer's end.

I have been there but not for an overnight.

Maybe book a package that includes a tour bus and hotel. Definitely do the Anne of Green Gables visit...author Lucy Maude Montgomery and her husband are buried in a cemetery nearby. There are two sites - the one place that is reconstructed as the home and surroundings in the book, and is beautiful! The second is to visit the house where Lucy visited as a child - distant relatives own the place, and the house is full of photos. There is even one of her special cat!

The Legislative Buildings are worth a visit...older architecture and loaded with Canadian history that is actually interesting.

Visit red sand beaches...enjoy seafood with PEI's own potatoes, which are a main industry on the island.

AND - Cow's Ice Cream Parlour - homemade and local. It started in PEI, and has a few outlets in Canada, Halifax and Banff amongst them.

Enjoy!

Regis and Kelly were there two weeks ago. It looked like a very beautiful place.:)

I hope you get to go and enjoy the trip, Mary!!

I was there back in the late 80's. I dont think I have ever seen a cleaner city before or since.

EDIT!!! Sorry, I was thinking of Vancouver Island and the city of Victoria. My stepdad is gonna smack me for that faux pax.

I would absolutely love to go. I'm ashamed to say that I've never been to the East Coast of Canada.:o

Gee, if you went the week of August 16th, maybe I could meet up with you...... OK, I'm probably dreaming here but it would be nice.

I watched an Anne of Green Gables DVD again and it really made me want to go. I doubt that I'd do the tour bus thing, though, unless I go alone.

Wow, that would be nice. I probably won't be able to go that soon, though, more like early September.
