Safe travels!

I don't know if you've ever been to Nova Scotia before, but here are a few of my favorite spots.

on mainland Nova Scotia:

Halifax - the Citadel (where they shoot the cannon off at noon every day except Christmas) and the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic (which has items from the Titanic)

Peggy's Cove (an hour south of Halifax) - for its otherworldly scenery and the Swiss Air memorial a bit further down the road. Sadly, the post office is no longer in the lighthouse.

on Cape Breton:

Cabot Trail - one of the most beautiful drives I've ever taken. It's also the only place I'd ever seen a bald eagle in the wild.

Fortress of Louisbourg - a partially restored 18th century French fortress, although there likely won't be as many costumed interpreters there as during the summer.

Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site - in the town in Baddeck, a few km off the Trans Canada Highway. You'll learn things about him you never imagined. Fascinating place to spend an hour or two.

Enjoy!
