I just realized that when I put up the information on how to get to Digby, that I never put a link to the ferry service. On the Bay ferries page you can see the schedule (remember, wedding is on May 20th) and find out how much it costs. The trip is only ~ 3hrs if the weather is good, obviously it gets longer when things get nasty (of course, we know the weather will be good that weekend).

Accommodations in Digby!
For everyone traveling to Digby for the wedding and needing a place to stay (sorry, I don't think our hotel room will be big enough for everybody), there are blocked rooms available at the Siesta Motel, starting at $50 plus tax (queen bed & full bath). Just make sure to mention that you will be attending the Trask-Flight wedding. Other rooms are available for other prices.
I should also mention that the Siesta Motel is within walking distance to the church, taking away some of the worry about parking at the church.
Please contact Bob or Helen at 1-902-245-2568, or email: eisener.bob "at" ns.sympatico.ca (just put in the @ symbol where you see "at").
Even if you are staying at another location, please be sure to make your reservations in advance, as the tourist season will be starting by then, and finding rooms on very short notice will likely be difficult.

Actual maps
For anyone having problems with the map links I posted before, this might be a little easier. In all cases, the destination (Church or Reception Hall) is circled in red, and the roads to follow are highlighted in green.
Just click on the image of the map you want to get a full size image.
Here is the map for getting to the church from Halifax (Church is in red, route is in green).
This one is to get to the church from the Ferry terminal.
And this one should help you get to the reception hall in Cornwallis.
Remember, if you want to know how to get to Digby, then you should check my previous post on this subject.
I hope this helps everyone.

Maps to Church and Reception Hall
I have managed to create some maps showing the location of the church in Digby with a line showing how to get there from the highway and the ferry, as well as to get to the reception hall in Cornwallis.
Unfortunately I am having trouble embedding the actual images in the post, so I am going to do it using links instead. Just click on the map you want below.
Church from Halifax. (Church circled in red, route in green)
Church from Ferry. (Church circled in red, route in green)
Reception Hall. (Hall in red, route in green)
If you can't view these, please let me know, and I will try again, or I could also email them to anyone who wants them.

Accomodations
There isn't too much to tell yet. Sarah and I will be contacting one of the hotels in Digby and will have a block of rooms reserved for wedding guests that you can then make a reservation for. As soon as we do that, we will let you know here and probably by word of mouth as well.
In the meantime, the only hotel I really know about is the Digby Pines, which is a very nice hotel. I'm not dissing them or anything, but the rooms are not worth the price, unless you just want to say you stayed at the Pines. You can find a list of other accomodations in Digby here, if you want to start checking your potential options.

Travelling to Digby
For those of you who will be coming from away (particularly my side from NB, ON, MB and other areas way out there), there are a few different options to get to Digby.
Fly into Halifax International Airport, then drive to Digby. The drive from Halifax to Digby is about 2 to 2.5 hours depending on traffic that day.
Fly into Fredericton Airport, get to Saint John, NB, and take the ferry across to Digby. Of course, getting from Fredericton to Saint John might be iffy, but it can be done. This would also work flying into Moncton, and then going to Saint John. (Moncton to Saint John)
Given the ferry in Saint John, if you can find a flight to Saint John directly, that might also be an option as well.
If anyone is thinking of driving around from Moncton or Fredericton to Digby, I would not reccomend that, as it is a really long drive going straight through to Digby.
