You didn't mention Ottawa, Mont Tremblant or
Montreal amongst your stops: Since these are of
course top destinations, I assume you to be
familiar with all 3 and ready to head east.
The one suggestion I might add to your Quebec
east tour is not to miss the Charlevoix region.
It's about and hour or two northeast of Quebec
City and has a terrific shoreline drive and many
a fine small village with small B&Bs with
oft-fantastic views.
I, too, am envious of such a trip--Have fun!
