It has been a few years since I've been to the Maritimes, but I must give this suggestion for the time of year you are traveling. A friend and I took a week to drive from Montreal through New Brunswick. It was mid-September. We started off in 90 degree weather in shorts taking the walking tour of Old Montreal. The next day we left for Quebec City in a snowstorm. The temperature had plunged more than 60 degrees overnight! Luckily we had winter clothes with us just in case. You should too.
