I have never really considered myself as a "hopeless romantic," but on recent investigation, I have realized that maybe I am. For one thing--I like happily ever afters. And for another, I'm a huge fan of the movie series Anne of Green Gables. (I know, I know--I'm really weird.) I mean, I even want to read the books. Because I enjoyed these movies so much, I decided that our first travel destination will be Prince Edward Island (or PEI, as it's more commonly known).

Fasten your seat belts and get ready for...lots of boring stuff that I've written.

PEI is an island located off of Canada in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The island rolling green hills, red soil, beaches, and woods. It joined Canada in 1884 and is now connected to the large landmass that we know as Canada by a 9 mile long bridge. The cities are Charlottetown and Summertime; there are also 7 towns. It's a close-knit kind of place with a population of 138,000. There are many things to do there (especially if you are an Anne fan like myself).

Wow. I realized that I don't really like doing this research project-esque work. Oh well, that's what I get for thinking that niches like "life" and "whatever I want to write about" are too boring and run of the mill...

I would like to visit PEI because for one, it looks so beautiful (see above picture). For another, I've always been attracted to calm, peaceful places. I really like small towns as well. I don't really know why, maybe because there's that romantic quality to them. Err, yeah. Whatever.

You know, it also looks a lot like my grandparents' village in Japan. Wow, so many parallels.

I don't know about you, but I'd really like to visit this peaceful green place. (Yeah...I know, I'm the worst travel agent. But, you never know until you try...and fail. Right?)

Thanks for reading.
