I have no idea how I managed this, but I left at 7AM Eastern time, and got to the hotel in Baddeck (Nova Scotia) by 7:30 PM Atlantic time (6:30 Eastern). I planned for 13 hours travel time, and it ended up being 11.5. Apparently I was going faster than I realized 😂 I'm pleased with this, lol. Especially since I managed to arrive before the amazing restaurant at the hotel closed :) So, yes - safely destinated, with a belly full of amazing food and delightful local beer. And they provided me a bottle of a local wine in the room. Yeah, I love this place! Feeling grateful 🙏
