We hit the road again early at 6am from our spot in Kenebunk, ME, after a quick coffee and a microwaved breakfast. "Just Crack an Egg, " little paper cups with the fresh ingredients to make an omelette. You add your own egg and microwave. Pretty tasty and perfect for our needs as cleanup was not an issue.

We took I95 as far as Google told us, and got off it near Bangor, ME. Just in time for a coffee at The Black Fly. A little way down, we found a Tractor Supply store that could fill our propane tank. Perfect! as we had been using propane for our little fridge ever since we left St Augustine.

Back on the road, nice rolling hills, double lane highway. We started heading more easterly now.

So I paid Cricket Wireless $100 for 100gb of data, to be used in both Canada and the US. As we crossed the Canadian border, the little hotspot wouldn't work! No wifi! So annoying! I chose Cricket as it had the best data plan for hotspot data. After 30 minutes of being on hold, Cricket told me my hotspot will NOT work in Canada! Really? the guy in the store that sold it to me swore it would work perfectly! So data has been a bit of a problem. I will contact Tmobile (my phone carrier) and see what they can do as far as hot spot data on my phone. So frustrating!

We arrived at the Canadian border around mid-morning. We had alcohol to declare as well as 3 dogs, so they opted to search our little rolling home. We stopped for longer than we would have liked. They found an undeclared flask of whiskey. We were properly admonished and sent on our way with no repercussions.

Rain, rain and more rain. We had been driving in a frontal boundary and going just the right speed so we stayed driving in it. We ended up pulling off the road for an hour while we waited for the rain to pass us. We eventually arrived in Glasgow, Nova Scotia, and set ourselves up for the night with plans for a very early departure in the morning. We found a Canadian Tire parking lot and settled in. We needed to be in North Sydney, NS, by 10am the next day and it was at least a 3 hour drive.

Our little Winnefred stayed comfy and dry for the duration. Very nice!
