NEW BRUNSWICK









 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 !"
