Atlantic Canada is made up of four provinces: Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland & Labrador (that’s one province, hosers) and Price Edward Island. I recently spent eight days in New Brunswick and Newfoundland seeing the sights and, perhaps more importantly, tasting the foods of this unique region.

From kitesurfing on a frozen bay to snowshoeing through Kouchibouguac National Park to dogsledding in Gros Morne National Park, I learned that Atlantic Canada is a fantastic winter destination. And also an amazing place to eat (assuming that you like seafood and moose).

I’ve posted pictures on my Flickr account of my escapades in both provinces. Give ‘em a look-see, will ya?

I’m off to New Brunswick and Newfoundland, Canada for the next eight days. I’m heading to Moncton, New Brunswick today via Toronto because all Air Canada flights seem to take me through Toronto. I’ll then make my way to Deer Lake, Newfoundland on February 7 (arriving in time to find a bar that will be showing the Grey Cup Super Bowl).

While I’m there, I’ll be snowshoeing, snowmobiling, dog sledding, ice fishing, caving and zip-lining. I’ll also be tracking down some seal flipper pie and cod tongues to satisfy the hunger that those activities will work up.

I’ll check in periodically and return to NYC on February 11. In the meantime, watch the video from my last dog sledding adventure in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Canada to see how I handled my last visit to the Great White North.

Stay out of trouble and keep an eye on Calvin while I’m gone.
