Yes, I agree...flying is definitely the way to get to Nova Scotia. Even from where I live, it's a very long and tedious drive. Luckily, the only truly horrid traffic that we hit was around Montreal. A lot of bridge and road construction there (ugh!!). As for driving in the east, I believe the real "tourist season" ended just before our trip began so we occasionally had roads almost to ourselves. But you're right... many of the roads are slow. We noticed a lot of new highway construction happening in New Brunswick, but I think it will be at least a couple of years before they'll be finished. Ideally, I would fly into Halifax, rent a vehicle and do a few things like visiting the fisheries and shipping museum at Lunenbourg along with driving to Brier Island to go whale-watching. If I were planning my trip over again, I'd probably plan at least 2 or 3 whale watch trips. The day after I'd been out, I really felt like going out again. BTW, apparently the fog is less of a problem late in the summer or early fall so that might be the best time of all to go east. The whale watch trips go on into October if the weather is good. The big thing is to bring along good warm clothes as it can get extremely cold once you're away from shore on the Bay, even on a very hot day. I saw a few people who looked pretty chilly when I was out last week...and that was an 85 F. day onshore.
