A Summer Journey

I always dream to go to the Green Gables House...

It is not easy to go there because it cost a lot on its transportation.
But,
if money could make dreams come true,
the price would not be that important for me.

I've set the date and destination for this journey.

Cross the spectacular Confederation Bridge.

The Confederation Bridge is the world's longest bridge over ice-covered water and links Borden-Carleton, Prince Edward Island with Cape Tormentine, New Brunswick.
I do not take plane from Montreal to Prince Edward Island instead of driving, because I would like to see the longest bridge in the world.
