Canadian Maritimes Travel
We will be traveling to the Atlantic Provinces this summer. Am looking for recent book or guides that will help us plan that journey with our truck camper. Any suggestions?

Check out the Nova Scotia Doers & Dreamers Travel Guide. It's a very very good guide - I wish every state/province would put out a guide like this.
I recommend the Ocean Exploration whale watching cruises - you go out on a zodiac inflatable boat, which gets you to the whales much quicker than the large boats. That means you have more time with the whales and less time trying to catch up to the whales.
In Halifax, take advantage of FRED (Free Rides Every Day bus). Double check with Pier 21 about RVs, but you can park a car at the Pier 21 parking lot for $10 per day. FRED has a stop on the street in front of the parking lot and you can get on and off at various stops on FRED's circular route (including the Citadel).
As a side note, if you do visit Halifax and are interested in history, pick up the book Curse of the Narrows by Laura MacDonald. It is a very good book about the munitions explosion in the Halifax harbour in 1917.
