[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you flying to PEI? Driving between MTL and Quebec?
Personally I wouldn’t do it. It’s a lot of time spent travelling for a couple of days in each city.
I’d do Quebec and Montreal, both lovely in the summer.
I’d save PEI for another trip.

+1.  Went to Montreal and Quebec City two summers ago and PEI last summer.  Loved both trips.  Reality is PEI is not easy to get to.  We flew DCA-Halifax, spent a couple days there, and drove about 3 hours north to Charlottetown.  All the Anne stuff is on the northern edge of PEI and all of the nicer places to stay are in the south, so they’re about 30 minutes apart.  There’s 4 separate Anne sites, so you need a couple of days if you want to see them all.  PEI is too far to combine with other destinations, and is a fabulous destination by itself.[/quote]

Thanks for the response. That is exactly what I needed to hear! Would you mind sharing what else you did on your PEI 
 trip?  DD is a teen so this is more a nostalgia thing than a young girl wanting to do a whole trip centered solely on Anne of Green Gables. [/quote]

We took a bus tour of Charlottetown and went to Cavendish Beach (the beach with red sand where the opening of Anne of Green Gables was filmed) twice.  The food is delicious.  The island is bigger and more rural than I expected, but is absolutely breathtaking.  I thought I was a casual Anne fan, but the Anne and LM Montgomery houses and museums are so incredible I left as a major Anne fan.  We stayed at Sydney Boutique Inn in Charlottetown, which is one of the nicest places I’ve ever stayed.[/quote]
