August 7, 1912

Was dreadfully sea sick all day
never got out of my cabin.  Was
disgusted with myself as the sea
was quite calm.  Reached Halifax
about six o'clock in the evening.  It
took all my energy to get up and 
dress.  Took a carriage from the 
wharf to the King Edward Hotel.  Had
a very nice room.  Had hoped to make 
a few calls and see a little of the
town but felt so wretched that I
went to bed at once.

(Note:  first opened in 1903, check out  History of the King Edward Hotel )
