Having grown up in Charlottetown, gone to university in Halifax, and currently living in Moncton (NB), I can attest that you guys are doing a great job in covering Atlantic Canada. I'm sure the ghost of LM Montgomery will forgive you over Anne of Green Gables. Anne is a big deal. There have been movies and several TV series. Think of the popularity of Little House on the Prairie or Heidi. The books are beloved worldwide, especially in Japan. They were introduced into their school curriculum over there after WW2, and Anne has become a hero to all teenage Japanese girls. Lots of Japanese tourism on PEI. One other thing - the sands at Basin Head don't really sing, they squeak when you walk over it. The sand has to be really dry. It is a real phenomenon, but, I always thought it underwhelming.

I got so excited when you mentioned Green Gables and then you blew it off. Ugh. Your definitely must watch the mini series with Megan Follows it is a Canadian classic that is loved by all. You will not be disappointed. Great video
-
I watch a lot of travelers and your videos are the best! You've raised the bar!!!!! Love the maps, history, facts, food and sites!
-
WOW! The in-depth history/geography you give is unmatched! Your enthusiasm and humour for every place you visit makes your vlog Number 1! Thanks
-
Super thrilled you got to experience PEI. It’s such a lovely place! I went twice because of LM Montgomery. As always, you did a great job with your coverage. Do yourself a favor though and see the Kevin Sullivan version of the Anne movies. They truly are my most favorite movies EVER!!!
-
Thank you for visiting our gentle island. Our sands have a angelic quality sound, if you shift the sand just right. Glad you enjoyed yourselves.
-
Oh, Adam and Kathryn. You guys have never read Anne of Green Gables??? As someone commented, Anne of Green Gables is SUPER loved and popular in Japan. And I am from Japan. I read all five volumes of Anne's stories in Japanese. I even own some copies now. I use these Japanese translation of Anne of Green Gables to teach Japanese. Please read Anne of Green Gables and go back to Prince Edward Island!!
-
I do like that you guys aren't deterred by rain and still manage to see awesome scenery!
-
The sand "sings" on lots of Michigan beaches as well. It's more of a squeaking sound than singing. Really enjoyed this vlog even as an Anne of Green Gables fan. You'll at least have to watch the movie! 😀
-
Such an incredibly beautiful island…loved it! You two make such high quality and entertaining videos! I love seeing all the food you eat…so yummy!!! Thank you!

橋が出来た時にはNBに居りましたがその前にはフェリーで何度も通っておりました。 PEIは本当に夏は最高の地でした。

Hi, my wife and I have been binge watching your videos.....Wow, you guys are the best in these types of travel videos....informative, entertaining and fun.... Keep it up!!!!

Absolutely one of my favourite channels on YouTube I’m travelling to America from Ireland in May next year. And because of this channel I’ve been able to plan my whole trip . You guys have been such a great help love watching your videos.

You two had me smiling throughout the whole video! This was so fun to watch! Another great adventure. 😃💖

We have gotten the PEI singing sands to sing. It was more than 25 years ago, but we still remember the soft squeaky noise it made when you scuffed your way across it. As a side benefit, your feet would get completely exfoliated in the process.
-
Love watching all your videos. I was married in a lighthouse to a Coast Guard Lighthouse Keeper. I have not been to any of the lighthouses on that island, thank you for the awesome pictures.
-
So much to see- so little time.!! Thanks for another adventure for all of us to enjoy. Kona sure enjoys her trips with you. Can't wait to see the next episode. Travel safe and have fun. 👍👍🏍🏍🏍🙋♂️

Excellent video! The drone shots are stunning. I grew up a few minutes from the North Cape Lighthouse. I want to commend you on getting the local pronunciations right i.e. Souris. Most YouTubers don't take time to learn the correct way to say place names. Kudos to you. And I chuckled when you ordered fries with the works. Definitely a local favourite where I grew up!
