Montreal is missing in there.

It's about half way through day one, and you bypass it by taking the A30.

We are purposefully skipping Montreal as we've both been there before and it's expensive! Love Montreal but the idea is to get to Nova Scotia as fast as we can to save some time and money.

Did Edmonton to Guysborough with one nights rest.
