There’s nothing like a girls’ road trip to cure the January blahs, and Halifax—with its Maritime charm and vibrant culture—is a terrific destination. About a three-hour drive from Moncton, the Nova Scotia capital is a familiar spot for me, filled with cherished memories from my university days at King’s and Dalhousie, and my early career as a reporter at The Halifax Chronicle Herald. (Fun fact: I even met and married my husband there!)
Hitting the Road
With my bag packed and the car gassed up, I set off to pick up my gal pals and hit the highway. The drive flew by thanks to dry roads, hot drinks and non-stop chatter. An hour and a half later, we made our first stop at Masstown Market, a staple for any road trip to Halifax from New Brunswick. After perusing the Market’s selection of home goods and women’s clothing, we bought some fresh sandwiches and were back on the road. (I may still be dreaming about that cozy coat I left behind!)
