Prince Edward Island

When I get away from Naples in the fall, I like to escape the Florida heat and humidity. This year's choice was Eastern Canada.

I have been golfing in Prince Edward Island on the East Coast of Canada for a week now. I have played four courses and they are all different. Many of the golf courses are hilly and the putting greens have lots of undulation, making putting very, very difficult. These courses are nothing like Pelican Bay or Quail Creek where I play regularly.

I encountered another problem today. We played a course called Fox Meadow. Gorgeous course. However when you come up to the greens this is what you see. The foxes sit and wait behind the trees just off the green. When they see a ball land on the green, they run out and grab it .and run away. They think they are eggs! Slow learners, I guess.

On the scorecard there is a rule: If a fox takes your golf ball, replay from same location without penalty. Now, that is unique!

Well, after a long year, I am taking my fall break away from Naples and real estate. What better way than to play golf in Prince Edward Island on the East Coast of Canada! It has been sunny every day and about seventy five degrees. The golf courses are some of the best in North America. Lobster, mussels, oysters,scallops, you name it. It is all fresh! This is just one of the meals we have enjoyed on the island.

The

17th Annual Abegweit Pow-Wow took place from the Panmure Island Cultural Grounds in Panmure Island, Prince Edward Island, Canada. The Pow-Wow reunites Aboriginal peoples from across Canada. Jimmy Augustine from Elsipogtog, New Brunswick was the Master of Ceremonies for the great event.

A Pow-Wow is a rejoicing of life through a feast and dance to the "Heart Beat of Mother Earth" represented in the Sacred Drum. The drummers are the Stoney Bear Singers from Eskasoni, Nova Scotia. The Pow-Wow includes: traditional teachings, Aboriginal art, booths with great crafts, bingo, and tickets with a chance to win many monetary prizes.

The Pow-Wow ended on Sunday evening with the Mi'kmaq Feast that is open to the visiting public. Included on the menu was famous PEI lobster, mussels, salmon, strawberry cake dessert, tea, etc. The line ups were long but the wait was worth the very enjoyable meal, and fellowship with the Aboriginal people of Canada.

The Pow-Wow location in Panmure Island, PEI is great because the excellent sand beach is close by for enjoyable swimming and to cool off from the warm August weather in beautiful Prince Edward Island.

The Aboriginal people have a very rich culture and tradition; the Pow-Wow is a great expression of this culture and is a great way to educate the general public.

That's it for now...

Is Twitter a valuable tool for a PEI Real Estate agent in Prince Edward Island, Canada, or, for that matter, an agent anywhere in the world? That is the "big question".

On Twitter you are exposed to millions of tweeters that are potential real estate buyers or sellers. The challenge is to form a relationship with some of them and eventually key in on your business of interest - real estate. These many tweeters are common folk, but there are also many celebrities or high profile business people that could be potential investors.

Twitter has people that you follow and people that follow you. You can reply to those you follow, but you can send a direct message to your followers. The key is to have many followers. CNN has over 1 million followers, and many celebrities, etc have many hundreds of thousands of followers. So the challenge for the common real estate agent is to build the follower list to a high number.

How valid are the Twitter tweeters? You may think you are talking to some big business man or celebrity, when, in fact, you are never quite sure as to the person's authenticity.

Twitter raises an interesting question though: where else in the communications world could you potentially be talking to a giant celebrity or well know investor? Twitter has a wonderful potential for a real estate transaction but, again, there is no guarantee. One thing is for sure: you are "rubbing shoulders" with the well known of the world.

That's is for now,
