Our destination is Nova Scotia - Halifax, Lunenburg, the Bluenose II, the Cape Breton Trail, and seafood, lots of seafood. We are travelling with Jim (Rags) and Aileen Hill. On the first day the plan is to get to Montreal.
After our late start, by early afternoon, we had only gone as far as Kingston and we all needed some food. Rags knew of a Vietnamese restaurant that he liked and the GPS gave a good rating on a Thai restaurant in the same neighbourhood. Let's go.
About then, Deb realized that she had forgotten her white cane. She said, "Oh, I can get by without it.", but we all knew she couldn't. Luckily, Aileen knew that the Kingston CNIB office (Canadian National Institute for the blind) was near the restaurant. It was. We were able to find the office. Unfortunately, the front door was locked and the building was being renovated.
Entering through the back door we found workers and noise and one small room with CNIB personnel. The mobility expert (who had the canes locked up somewhere), was missing, but a phone call convinced her to come into the office. We were able to buy a new cane and Debby left with a smile.
After a bowl of Vietnamese Pho Tai soup, we were then really headed for Montreal.
