Hello Meredith!
I just saw your post, so I don't know if your travel has begun or not... I have the same kind of idea, heading St John's, but my availabilities are from end of June to mid-July...
Write me back if you could be interrested in travelling together if you still in Mtl ;)
If not, have a safe trip! And tell me if you have a blog or something where I could follow your trip... Could give me some ideas for my itinerary ;)

Have a nice evening,
Lucie
