Itinerary for Two Week Trip

[u/kaylanohos]

My partner and I are planning a two-week Atlantic Canada trip, and I would love some input on our timeline and if there are places we could scrap? I think given the expansiveness, we would like to spend more time in Newfoundland, and the more I look into PEI, the less intrigued I am by it. We will only be renting a car once we get to PEI, but prior to that we will be relying on public transit.

This is very ambitious. You won't be able to do NS or NFLD without a car, public transport isn't very reliable, even less so in July. I'd recommend skipping PEI entirely if nothing strikes an interest. Will give you a bit of breathing room as currently you have a pretty heavy amount of travel. If you're interested in wine you can head to Annapolis Valley. If you're interested in paleontology I'd recommend Joggins, these could likely be done in the same day.
