Imagine a sunny day, a '50s cruiser (with '50s priced gas!), an open road, and not a care in the world. That's what you'd have to do—imagine. We might handle the first part; it's that "not a care in the world" part that's hard to come by. Is it possible?

What is a map?
Our friends at Wikipedia define a map as “a visual representation of an area—a symbolic depiction highlighting relationships between elements of that space such as objects, regions, and themes.” Whatever… I think we all know what a map is, and all travelers should appreciate the detailed work of those unnamed cartographers.
1. The Cabot Trail, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia The 300 km (186 mi) journey winding around the north shore of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, is one of the world’s most outstanding marine drives. You can do it in a day, but it’s worth two, especially if you enjoy hiking, picnics, and photo ops along the way. You can break your trip at Baddeck, where you will find good hotels and restaurants. There’s the Alexander Graham Bell Museum in town which is worth a gander. You’ll also find sea kayaking available and salmon fishing (on the Margaree River) nearby. Keep your cameras handy as you pass through the highlands of Cape Breton National Park. Binoculars can also be useful as whale-watching can be rewarded along the shore. This region of the country will introduce you to the three historic cultures of the region—Acadian, Scottish and Mi’kmaq. St. Ann’s Gaelic College is renowned for its Gaelic arts.
