I'm going to PEI!

I've booked my hotel!
From June 29 to July 17, I will be staying at the Brackley Country Inn. This is an awesome little place that just so happens to sit right beside the Brackley drive-in theatre! Check out the satellite map here.

I will spend my time on the island doing a mix of tourism and pavement-pounding. By the end of my stay, I hope to have met with every interested, possibly-relevant, business owner in the greater Charlottetown area (and possibly beyond).

My very rough "people to call" list looks like this:

Federal government
Provincial government
Municipal government
Tourism associations
Universities and colleges
Museums
Real estate
Airport & airlines)
Musicians (albums, studios, venues)
Charlottetown civic centre
Arts district
Restaurants
Breweries
Property management groups
Construction

If I'm missing anything, let me know.



Then there is the 10,000km round-trip road-trip that encompasses my time on the island. I will be driving across Canada on my own. All told, we're talking about 30+ days away from everyone that I know and love. Words cannot express how excited and terrified I am.

As I see it, this is a perfect opportunity to commune with God. It also is a perfect opportunity for me to get out there and actually gain some people-skills.

Can you imagine me with the confidence to approach, talk to, and get to know complete strangers?
Neither can I... haha

This could be one of the greatest opportunities for change that I have ever had.

Find a job, move to PEI, shovel 10' of snow... big steps.
Approach someone that I don't know and try to make a friend... giant leap.


If you are in the habit of conversing with the Almighty, please keep me in your prayers.
