It was only a 45 mile drive today from Amherst, Nova Scotia to Moncton , New Brunswick
We'll camp at
a Passport America affiliated campground in a
Moncton suburb.
When we
crossed the bridge into New Brunswick we stopped immediately at the first
tourist information center & gathered up LOTS of New Brunswick information. The women there were so very helpful & friendly.
We learned
there is a dinner theatre production in downtown Moncton on Wednesdays through Saturdays. Hey! Today's Wednesday...can we make it? We hadn't even found our campground yet but decided to go-for-it. It was early & we felt we had time to do what we needed to do.
The tourist
center gal went online to get more information for us & found out that
there is a $10 discount this week if we call & make reservations from the information they found for us online.
We hurried on
to camp to get disconnected, setup & make the phone call to choose our entree, pay etc.
We used Skype online to make that phone call &
in two hours after setting up camp we would be off to the "Tide & Boar,
McSweeney's" theatre on Main street in downtown Moncton .
HOLD ON NOT SO FAST:
The clock we
hang on the wall in the trailer has it's hands exposed , unprotected & apparently where I
placed it for the ride to Moncton (things on the wall need to be taken down
when we're on the road) the clock hands got moved & not even thinking of
checking my iPhone clock & we realized we needed to leave NOW.
We were going
to be late for the dinner and show. Chitna!
( that's an Alaskan town that somewhat sounds like my favorite word that I'm
trying to break the habit of using.)
Joey had to
drive like crazy to a place where we had never been AND find parking in a downtown area, in the dark AND it's had begun to rain a little. JEEZE !
WERE WE GOING TO MISS THE WHOLE THING ?
Nope. We got there
only 15 minutes late….there was on- the-street-parking on Main St , right in front of the theatre.
(just like Los Angeles , right? funny)
We couldn't believe it!
They hadn't begun serving dinner yet but the interactive musical play had begun. We hadn't missed much at all. As Joey likes to say; "LUCKY LAGER !"
