CAT

 

Well, one of my readers reminded me that I needed to update everyone on our CAT experience. For those of you who do not know what that CAT is go here. You may have guessed by the picture that we didn't end up taking the CAT. The main reason was the cost. It's VERY expensive. Not only do they charge you per car, but they also charge you per person in the car along with various taxes and surcharges. All said and done it was going to be about $300.00. The other reason the CAT was not a good option for us was scheduling. They only operate the boat at certain times of the week and our travel schedule wasn't going to permit that.
So we ended up on this ferry from Digby, Nova Scotia to St John New Brunswick. It was about a 3 hour cruise (where have i heard that before) and was actually pretty nice. I watched a movie while Esther caught up on some work.
I was a little disappointed by not getting to ride the CAT but I was thankful for the time that we got to sit and relax and not be driving.
The cool thing is that in the future we might have to go back to Nova Scotia and an oppertunity to use the CAT might happen.
So there you have it our CAT experience. Posted by Picasa

$300 Bucks! I agree, in the end that isn't worth it. You made the right call of course, but I'm sorry you didn't get to check out the CAT.

Either way it sounds like a nice break and a relaxing leg of the journey.

That stinks my friend, but definitely not worth the dough.
