No wings necessary to see Paul McCartney

Posted by Hilary Nangle June 30, 2009 10:02 AM

Because, baby you can drive your car aboard the CAT high-speed ferry, then on to Halifax, where McCartney is headlining an outdoor concert on July 11.

The CAT is offering a three-day package including:

• round-trip vehicle and passenger transportation from Portland to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia.

• two nights with daily breakfast at the Oak Island Resort and Spa (45 minutes from Halifax).

• open admission tickets to the outdoor concert at The Commons, in Halifax, on July 11. (Bring chairs or a blanket.)

Price is $541 per person, based on double occupancy. Fuel surcharges and Port and Security fees are extra.

Note: It's about a three- to four-hour drive from Yarmouth, where the Cat docks, to Halifax, but you'll probably want to take longer to see some of the sights en route.
