Ontario to Newfoundland Road Trip Itinerary
Our Summer 2016 #IDontRoadTrip is nearly here, and the fine details are being polished. There’s still time for you to plan the same trip (or a similar one. . . don’t feel pressured to do the entire thing!) so we’re going to share the little details with you.
Planning where you’ll stay, and how long you’ll drive for each day is an important part of keeping road trips fun. Overdo it, and you’ll exhaust everyone.
Before you get this far, make sure you’ve booked a housesitter. We never leave home without informing our neighbours we’ll be away, and hiring someone to care for our home. (Stay tuned for a post about why this is so very important!)
Next, plan your route on Google Maps and decide how far you’re comfortable driving each day. We’ve made plans to stop in a number of fun cities along the route. We booked hotels ahead of time (thanks to Expedia.ca!), which takes one worry off our minds when we stop for the night.

Alex I love this itinerary!
You are inspiring me to *maybe plan a trip to NFL next year. It’s been on our bucket list for sometime. How long are you on the island for?
Oh you SHOULD! This year we’re only staying a week. We usually stay for 2.
