If you're driving to the conference from Charlottetown Airport, here's how to find your way to Kindred Spirits Country Inn in Cavendish, home of the conference. This isn't the most direct route, but it's the most scenic, and the most fun.

In the airport you should be able to pick up a PEI road map from the Tourist Information Booth, which is to your left as you walk into the airport arrivals area from your airplane.

Coming out of the Charlottetown Airport access road, turn right onto the Brackley Point Road. Drive over the hills and dales for approximately 15-20 minutes until you come to Route 6 WEST, which goes to your left (don't get this confused with the right turn that leads down Route 6 EAST, which you get to before this). At this intersection you'll see a Visitor Information Centre on your right, and, once you turn left onto Route 6, a faux lighthouse on your left and the North Winds Motel and the Lobster Claw Restaurant on your right.

Drive along Route 6 for a nice long while. You'll make a right turn at Oyster Bed Bridge, continuing along Route 6; you'll pass Cymbria, South Rustico, and Rusticoville. Keep driving along Route 6 and you'll come into the small village of North Rustico. Drive right through the village (there's a grocery store, hardware store and, up the hill, the last liquor store you'll pass).

Keep driving along Route 6 until you come to the intersection of Route 13. You're now in Cavendish. Go through the intersection, continuing on Route 6, for just a tad. On your left, after you pass the big signs for the Green Gables attraction, and are heading up the hill, you'll see Memory Lane (yes, really) -- take a left, and you'll be at the Inn.

If you get lost, and need to be talked in, phone (902) 963-2434.
