Hi Chris

I you have time, go to Quebec City (old part) very touristic but very nice.
If you are not in a hurry, from Quebec city to Rivière-du-Loup use the 132
instead of the Highway 20, you will see many nice village in Quebec, you
could enjoy the landscape and once a while exit the 132 to pass in village,
it is so relaxing. BTW car traffic is low (everybody is using the 20).

In New Brunswick
Shediac: nice for the beach
Bouctouche : If you like hand made soap, Boutique Savon Olivier is a must.
They have a small show to explain their amazing soaps.
Bay of Fundy: Nice National Park

Nova Scotia (very nice province)
Do not miss the Cabot Trail
If you have time, go to Meat Cove (small Camping). From Your Westy, you can
enjoy seeing the Whales on the ocean. You can also swim in the small beach.
(However this not Old Orchard or Ogunkit, this is Wildness)
Have a tour at Louisbourgh
Baddeck: You can visit the Alexander Bell museum if you like museum (
amazing what Alexander was doing)
Halifax : nice town, Maritime Museum is very nice,
Peggy's Cove: amazing  ( Mass of tourist however)
Lunenburgh: so cut
From Halifax to Yarmouth - Very nice  on the ocean side

Newfounland
I do not know, this is my vacation destination in August

Maine
Acadia Park : Very touristic but very nice

Enjoy your trip ( 2 weeks in NF or 2 weeks for the whole trip!!!)
