We *loved* Louisbourg and I think you will too. One thing I'm really glad we did is splurge for the "theme" lunch. Last year there was a dig going on and we saw skeletons from a mass grave. Veeeeeery neat. It was way off by the water, a short hike from the main part of the fort.

If you have a chance the Miner's Museum in North(?) Sydney was another high point of the trip. I'm very jealous-- if we'd had just a little more time and money we'd have added Newfoundland to last year's trip.

Sounds ambitious, but fun. Have a great time!

Yes, yes, I think you are mad :)

I went to Louisbourg as a kid -- when I was about 7. I don't remember much of it. I don't think we'll have time for the Miner's Museum, though.

Thanks, we hope to.

Enjoy yourselves! Louisbourg is great, and Newfoundland has gotten rave reviews from everyone I know who went there.

I'll visit you in the psych ward when I get back, I promise!

DO try to book a reservation for lunch or dinner - if I remember correctly they do take reservations and it can be hard to get in otherwise. But check if they will have anything for gabriel_le too.

Considering my own 8-day Ireland itinerary, I think you're quite peachy myself. :)
