Hey all, for my next vacation I'd like to go on a big road trip across eastern Canada, and I was wondering what kind of advice or knowledge you'd be able to share that's worth knowing before I go with it. First I'd like to start off by going to Charlottetown, PE, then drive to Syndey, NS and take the ferry into Newfoundland, go to St. John's and then back track a bit to go north and take the ferry to Blanc-Sablon and go into Labrador. Once there I'd drive to Labrador City, and then make my way through northern Quebec and then head southwest to Rouyn-Noranda and then finally head back to Montreal.
How much would the ferry rides cost? How long are they? Any tips on driving through remote areas with very little places to stop? Places to stay or how to know when it's time to call it a night? How far between are gas stations? Anything else that I'm missing would be appreciated to mention too. Vehicle I'd be doing this in is a 2016 GMC Canyon. Also what is the best month to do this?
