Counting the days until our departure, getting the house ready for the renters, nursing sore upper arms from countless inoculations, accumulating stuff that will never fit in the backpacks .... must be getting close now! As requested ...
Beginning of the beginning
So, some background: For the last few years (on and off) I have been working on a three-novel series entitled I Alexander, an "autobiography" of the conqueror who lived from 356 to 323 BCE. The work doesn't (yet) have a presence on the Web ...
The Sky Is Falling!
... a newfound friend who I’d never have met without Couchsurfing before we were accompanied by a beautiful sunset heading into Huntsville for another of those obligatory souvenir t-shirts. Marion and I discussed travelling as we pottered, and ...
Who's afraid of the big bad Greek driver?
One decision Melissa and I made early on was to rent a car rather than take a tour. That way we'd be free to make our own schedule and follow our own whims. She was hesitant, however, due to the solid reputation that Greece has for chaos ...
Trip to Doe Lake
Today I rode in a squished van for six hours. SIX! With the most annoying kid in the world. Donna. I plan on doing as much as I can to cause her problems. We stopped at Weber's to eat hamburgers, they were good. When we got here, Ana and Naomi decided ...

Early morning hike and nursery rhymes
Today we woke up at 5:30 to go on a hike! And we didn't even see the sunrise. Then we came back and did absolutely nothing except cut Campbell's Soup labels and listen to my walkman. We ate lunch and slept till 3:30 p.m. Then, we took a tour of Doe ...
Atmosphere is everything.
Even if I wasnt in Huntsville for long,I really liked the atmosphere wich felt vibrant and youthful. I was surrounded by beautiful people but mostly nice and welcoming. I wouldnt mind going back for a while longer,maybe even spending the night and ...
More Gas, and The Storm Brews
I stopped here, at a Mac's Gas Station, for my first full tank of gas (9 litres). I then went to Tim Horton's for a small coffee, and took the attached video to show how the weather was progressively getting worse. The wind had been progressively ...
Get out of my motel!
Did you know Canada celebrates Labour Day? It's like Labor Day in the US, except they have an extra "u". We chose this day of closed businesses to enter the beautiful Algonquin Provincial Park to take a little canoe trip. There seemed to be nowhere to buy ...
Day 50 - Spa Treatment Day !!

Going Back

Off to the Indoor Pool again this morning. The kids absolutely love the pool. The pool tires the kids out which is handy plus it makes them so hungry! A great source of entertainment. Brett and the kids tried out the spa ...

Well, its over. Due to a typhoon in Shanghai, I missed my flight to Biejing and Vancouver, and subsequently the train from Vancouver to Toronto. So instead, i flew directly home. Any trip has its problems, and the storm provided me a little one. ...
