sail7seas Posted August 22, 2014 #28 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I can't wait to hear about your Halifax tour....... Life of a Coal Miner. Sounds so interesting. It never occurred to me to look into it. Enjoy your last night aboard and 'safe home'. Thanks so much for sharing with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no coal mines near Halifax. Sydney is most likely where the coal mining tour was. That area has a long coal mining history. Halifax ---not.

Rare kazu Posted August 22, 2014 #30 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Not to be confused with St. John, U.S.V.I. :) I am confused... what does the Virgin Islands have to do with this cruise? I hope the OP really enjoys Saint John, N.B. We have welcoming arms:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydney is most likely where the coal mining tour was. That area has a long coal mining history. Halifax ---not. I bet it is Sydney as well. I have this on my to do list for our land vacation next year, so am eagerly awaiting a report!! Edited August 23, 2014 by superoma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have welcoming arms:D I think Sail is playing with the St. John name. When I did the Customer Service training for the trucking company I used to work for, I used to run some popular names of cities and list how many there were (only North America) just to make the point about getting the location right!!!! Bad form to send the truck to St. John when you want St. John's!! nevermind the extra cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrimp56 Posted August 23, 2014 Author #33 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Yes it was Sydney. And it was amazing. Sorry for the confusion. I tend to be laconic when posting from my phone. Bags packed and in the hall. Taking the HAL transfer. Can't wait to be home and scritch our kitties. 2 cruises were booked on board. Details later.

Pretty simple IMO That's how packages, people and luggage get to the wrong location - LOL:D They end up in Newfoundland instead of New Brunswick :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll see Sapper's comments about the various Saint John, St. John's, St. John........ It's a play on the various locations bearing the name in one form or another. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrimp56 Posted August 23, 2014 Author #38 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I got corrected in St John NB. The Newfoundland city is St JOHN'S. NB is just St John. I grew up in Fayetteville, NY, one of several towns by the same name in the US. Sent from my LG-P769 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sure trips many of us up:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrimp56 Posted August 23, 2014 Author #40 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I stand corrected! Or rather sit as we're at our gate heading for Sweet Home Chicago. Sent from my LG-P769 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa63 Posted August 23, 2014 #41 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I look forward to your report, shrimp56. Sorry we didn't meet on board. Or, maybe we did and didn't realize! We loved the Saint John tour to St. Martins and Reversing Falls. I loved how we stopped at the river at both high and low tide. It was a popular tour -- I counted four buses for this excursion. Our family had a good time and we hope you did, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
