Ferries can shape the route
Newfoundland and other island/coastal trips may require scheduled ferry travel.
Weather changes quickly
Coastal fog, wind and storms can affect driving and ferry schedules.
Do not underestimate distances
A route that looks compact on a national map can still involve long drives.
Build around anchor regions
Cape Breton, Fundy, PEI, Newfoundland and Labrador each deserve enough time rather than being rushed into one loop.
