Dan from Colsaga Signs in Wasaga Beach and I are heading out in his early 70's VW Camper van for Moncton N.B. We will start out Tuesday and find a campground about halfway between Montreal and Quebec City. When we get to the meet we hope to find a nice shady spot for the old VW shop bus and settle in for some learning. We have set aside a week for the trip out, the meet and a leisurely trip back. Hope to meet a lot of the letterheads that I have been reading about here.

I'm just bringing a tent, but Brian does have several Bed and Breakfasts on the meet pages.
I would recommend Fundy National Park and the Flower Pot rocks at Hopewell if your father and crew are into that type of thing. It's a pretty nice place. Other than that I'm not too familiar with New Brunswick. I've more or less just driven through it. Here's a link to New Brunswick's tourism site: http://www.tourismnbcanada.com
See ya in a couple days.

Don't forget about Magnetic Hill, Magic Mountain Water Park and the Magnetic Hill Zoo in Moncton. There is also the Moncton Museum at the east end of Mountain Road if you wanted to learn more about Moncton's past including industries long gone (Eatons Mail Order complex and the CNR shops) plus a lot of general info on the city. The Thomas Williams house on Park Street is also worth a visit:
You could also check out my hometown of Shediac, the Lobster Capital of the World. Lots of gift shops and great food downtown or take in Parlee Beach. The Pointe du Chene wharf has a great restaurant where you can have freshly cooked lobster and other seafood. Its only a 20 minute drive from Moncton. There is also the Neptune Drive-In Theatre (hope its open this season!):
