My husband Nick and I have once again returned from another vacation (six weeks this time) in Newfoundland, and I'm happy but sad. I cannot count the ways Newfoundland and its people and places have touched my heart. In 2012 and 2015, we drove our RV down from Ontario for two months, staying in RV campgrounds. This year we flew to Deer Lake, rented a car and stayed at either cabins or B&Bs. All of our stays were so charming and clean - and, of course, everyone was so helpful and kind. We visited people from our 2015 stay, such as Gerald French from the Crow Hill RV Park in Brigus. Gerald arranged a cod fishing trip for us with his nephew and family, which was so much fun. They made us feel so welcome. We stopped in Green Island Cove and visited Nita Hughes and her husband Kirby on our way to St. Anthony. Nita had not only made us jam and mailed it to us in Ontario (after just meeting us in 2015 when we topped for gas), but ordered us a subscription to your great Downhome magazine. This year, Nita and Kirby invited us for lunch. This is what I mean about the kindness of people in Newfoundland. There are so many outstanding places to stay while visiting. To name just a few: Cupid's Haven B&B in Cupids; Inn at the Cape in Cape St. George; Celtic Rendezvous in Bauline East; Mom's Place in La Scie; Captain Cook B&B in York Harbour. Anyone who loves whales, icebergs, puffins, hiking, great food and super nice people should add Newfoundland to their bucket list. Meanwhile, Nick and I will once again dream about maybe, just maybe, making one more trip to our favourite place. - Sharron and Nick Beddard, Chelmsford, ON   Submitted By: NULL
