Decide which methods of transportation you are going to use to travel from city to city. You can't travel between all cities using all methods of transportation. For example, there may be no train between two cities, or to drive would take too long. Remember that you have to include a boat in your travels – there are limited locations that use a ferry -- you have to visit St. John's, Charlottetown, or Victoria on your travels.
