If you are in New Brunswick and want to go to Campabello Island, take
the ferry from St George NB to Deer Island and then a ferry from Deer
Island to Campabello Island. Always a fun trip and cuts many miles off
that are not all that terribly interesting (St. Stephens,NB and Calais
ME). Of course, you might like to go there too. There is a small
chocolate factory in St. Stephens.

but the area... eh?)
