My first trip to the East Coast was in 2008. Saw my bf (from NB) and drove around Nova Scotia and PEI. Really really wanted to see the rest, Newfoundland included. Someday. I'm going back to see my bf, so we'll see... I'm adding your awesome sauce blog to my linkroll. :) I’m convinced! My first trip to the East Coast was in 2008.

You have the first hand insider voice that would be more interesting. This list of videos is just a warm up to real NL insight :) And while you’re at it, call someone in the NL tourism office and ask where the online HD versions of these vids are. When they say there aren’t any inform them that they’re crippling the ability of independent travel media to promote their destination. Which is arguably their most effective direct to consumer medium. I’m planning on returning to Canada via the maritimes. Maybe pick up a used car and drive all over the damn place and work my way home to BC :) Candice, you should still do your post. You have the first hand insider voice that would be more interesting.

I am both outraged and pleased. Outraged because I had planned on doing this EXACT same post, and pleased because my heart melts every time someone discovers Newfoundland. Ha! I'm a huge, huge, huge supporter of this campaign, it does NL such justification. Makes me question why I would ever consider leaving here. I love the videos because they capture the human spirit with the natural world so perfectly. But you really, really have to be here to experience it! Us Newfoundlanders are fiercely proud of our province. If you and Chris ever do make it, I vote a roadtrip out to Gros Morne! Can you believe I've never been?!

Those video clips are just awesome. I reckon everybody will be planning a trip after watching these.
