I was on one of the many airline flights diverted to Gander, Newfoundland on 911… There were thousands of us who arrived within hours to an airport that was accustomed to seeing hundreds of people...the hospitality encountered there was absolutely astounding. We spent several nights at a Church where parishioners brought us food, bedding and pillows from their homes. I had the first moose chili in my life. I’ll be back there again someday as a tourist …but nothing will ever be like the experience I had that September day…

Looks like they are trying to appeal to families with very young children who enjoy mountain climbing! Can't be many of that type of family around so I'll be surprised if their ad works. I look at the ad with my COPD/emphyzema meds on the table beside me and I wish I had a pilots liscense, that's the only way I'd be able to experiance that view !- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Thank you to our families of soldiers, many of whom have given so much more then the rest of us for the Freedom we enjoy.
It is true, there is nothing free about freedom, don't be so quick to give it away.

Should have lived harder and faster when I was younger. Let that be a lesson to you young bucks out there.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I've done the drive across the Rock, but haven't been to Labrador. The Newf's are great, maybe the nicest and most hospitable people you'll ever encounter but you may need a translator of the urban (such that they are) areas.
I remember being there years ago, out in the boonies and was told about a guy who welds wood stoves of a particularly innovative design, a subject that interested me at the time. So I got directions and dropped in and comically we just could not understand each other. On a government for we'd both be checking the "English" box but thats the only thing the two languages had in commom
I don't know if he understood me, I certainly didn't him, but he got that i was appreciative of his work and spent an hour via sign language and demonstration showing me all about what a does.
The scenery, while maybe contrast and saturation enhanced is pretty darn close to that, wear polarized glasses and you'll think you're in the video. Tp Pix's point, the downstroke is getting a good meal out side of St Johns, which btw is the oldest city in North America and its not very warm.
I'd encourage anyone to visitLast edited by Mcgyver; 01-21-2010, 10:08 AM.located in Toronto Ontario

My sister in law, married a Newfoundlander, I have been over there, The Newfoundlanders, are the most hospitable &friendliest of people, On the Burin peninsula some of the towns are most picturesque, Grand Bank, is nice with a very pleasant fishing museum, in which is displayed some extremely fine boat models, and also a full size Fairbanks Morse Oil engine from a large trawler, Also Burin is really pleasant
St Johns is worth a look , good hotels & the railway museum, plus signal tower, with its memorabilia from Marconis experiments, Also Cape spear
