[cottonelle lover]

I am in the US and planning a trip to Canada....planning on Ottawa then taking the rail to Montreal and Halifax....now help me out here guys...I only have 4 days there....where and when is my best chance to see/meet one of the TPB gang?  They are in Halifax...no?  Any help would be greatly appreciated...*smiles*

You could try the trailer park set, maybe they will be there just hanging out and setting stuff up.  Or the Marquee I believe they drink there occationally.  

I personally wouldn't show up at the park without being invited but if you just want to check it out from a distance, and possibly with alot of luck bump into a cast member, thats the best place to try.

How long will you be in Ottawa ?  I could give you a couple of suggestions.

[cottonelle lover]

Thank you so much....anything else in Halifax you recommend seeing...where to go..what to do....We would love to see the set.

I was in Ottawa last year Tipsy..... I saw a great many things...a bloke named Carl that always sat outside the white cross...*giggles*...the  beaver tails were yummy.....Saigon had some awesome food...went to the comedy clubs....*smiles*

[cottonelle lover]

will be there 2 days

You may be biting off more than you can chew with this.  4 days for Ottawa to Montreal then training it to Halifax cna be done but may be cutting things a little too thin.  The train to Halifax from Montreal can take up to 20 hours. And of course the travel time back.  Almost 2 days killed travelling.  The Bar Car is great fun though.  

Depending where you are in the States maybe leave Ottawa and Montreal out and just explore Nova Scotia. And of course take a day and come over to my Island.  

Best of luck.  This is a fun country to explore.

D'oh.   Do you mean 4 days in Halifax?  

[cottonelle lover]

Right mate 4 days in Halifax and 2 in Ottawa...where do you recommend staying in Halifax....besides in your trailer..*giggles*

cottonelle...are u from the uk...im coming over this october !  just wondering as u use the term bloke

[Islander]

if you are on a budget then I recommend staying at Dalhousie UNiversity.  They hire out student rooms cheap in the summer.  St. Mary's Uni. would do the same too I would think.

Again, the bar car is great.  And don't forget to bring your own booze.  All bets are off after 12am.  A blind eye is shown to those who choose not to buy the $4 tins of Blue.  There's a liquor store at the station in Montreal.

No dear I am not...my father was from Manchester...so there in lies my brit vocabulary....most of my accent is gone too....he passed in 1998... I was born and raised in Texas...nothing like hearing me say Ya'll in my cute lil accent...my mum Irish...and yes, I burn horribly in the sunlight...should have been a vampyre...* evil grin*

Just a word of courtesy.  Don't try to meet and hassle any celebrities on their own free time.  Save it for an official public event where they're supposed to interact with the general public.

There was a guy at my place last weekend who said his brother ran into JP and RW at the Costco in Halifax and he said that they shot the shit with him for 20 minutes outside the store.  Take it with a grain of salt, he may have been bullshitting.

Wonder what they were buying at costco.  JP-case of coke, few sexy black coolmax Tshirts, catfood for Bubb's  RW-double bag of Zesty Mordant doritos, chicken fingers, pepperoni.
