On Friday, July 24, 2026 we arrived in Charlottetown, ready to start the big walk around Prince Edward Island the following day. We had been making preparations for months. As for the island, it really didn't look that big...
- When we arrived we were greeted and hosted by Billy, a random stranger turned friend. It was fun having him as a resource as we planned our trip.
- After the big walk, we did a driving tour of Nova Scotia for five days.
- We finished out the trip with a wedding in Waukesha, WI which was the whole reason did the walk.
"Let's see, if we have to go to Wisconsin, what else could we do in the area?" Out came the maps and on goes the computer, where we found Bryson Guptill and the Island Walk, and somehow this became the most expensive wedding we have ever attended!
It was the adventure of a lifetime: wonderful people, food and island.
Oh and it was hard. Really hard. This was our first long walk...we probably should have tried long distance walking on a little shorter trip. But, as they say, go big or go home!
