VACATION DETAILS

Located at the northeast tip of the North American continent is a tiny town in Newfoundland & Labrador chosen to be an airport site. In 1936, the construction of the airport base began and during the Second World War, as many as 10,000 Canadian, British and American military populated the town of Gander. Today, Gander has molded its own cultural, economical, and educational systems ensuring the quality of life with recreational activities, health care, transportation, and communications.

St. John's, a classic harbor city, is capital of Newfoundland. Old accents and customs are common, yet Saint John is still modern. The city recently celebrated its 500th anniversary as a modern city with preserved heritage and culture. It offers old world charm, unique architectural and historic landmarks, fine cuisine and many other attractions. Historic downtown features unique sites, such as Cabot Tower on Signal Hill overlooking the harbor and the city. The famous friendliness, hospitality and charm of the people of Saint John, plus the Newfoundland folk music found in many of the lively waterfront bars, ensure a perfect visit. A 3 mile Rennies River Trail cuts through the city along a wooded stream and ends at the only public fluvarium in North America, where in late October/early November one can observe spawning brown and brook trout in their natural habitat through underwater windows. The Bowring Victorian park was donated by the wealthy Bowring family in 1911, and resembles the parks of London after which is was modeled.
