One more big sleep!!
So....one more big sleep until it's time to go. So far, I've done virtually nothing to get ready for this trip, save go to the bank and get some dollars and pesos. At least I've looked after my shopping needs! I also have yet to locate my ...
Wondering how far we'll go
... will be putting on hold, as much as possible, everyday commitments to embark on.... well, on TheHoneymoon. Nuptials take place, in Canada, on July 28th, followed by a reception at home in Ireland on August 11th. The trip proper begins on August 14th, ...
Less than a week!
Well, in one week from today I'll be sitting on a boat hopefully working on my tan! I didn't realize how much I needed a vacation until now. I'm sure many of you reading this are thinking "what could you possibly need a vacation ...
Winter in Canada.
I am getting SOOOO excited to go on the cruise. I finally booked my flight to Miami - 540$ Cdn from Toronto to Miami...I get there the morning of the cruise and leave the day we arrive back. I wanted to stay a day or two in Miami, but I have ...
And now, a visit to Hugo!
... guess I should mention that I'm heading to Venezuela on the 17th of November. That still gives me lots of time in Kingston, and time to hopefully finish the latest article that I'm writing (along with some extremely overdue book reviews!). I'll be ...
A little pre-trip panic...
With a lot of changes coming up in our lives, we've decided to take a pre-wedding vacation to help the transition between end of work, wedding, move and start of new work. Basically, we have a ton of stuff planned for the next month. We both ...
Tomorrow....
We're leaving tomorrow...well, Thursday morning at 2 a.m. to be precise. It seems very little has changed from our state of planning since the last time I blogged - just more time has passed! The only thing that has changed is that we have a hotel ...
Canada, eh!
... , Meagan (if you'd rather be reading entries from India, Nepal and Tibet you can blame her, right?). I'll also be detailing any trips I do out of Kingston while I'm here. Hopefully I'll get to see a few places of interest, assuming Meg lets me ...
The ground just refuses to stop moving!
Miami international airport is horendous. I've been to better airports in developing countries! It's very reminiscent of the 1970s (not that I really know...), has the WORST design ever, and is in dire need of industrial engineers. (Kate, ...
Back to Kingston
I spent the Thanksgiving weekend with Nick. Saturday morning we visited Fort Henry, which is across from the Military College. We spent the afternoon shopping. Watched the movie "Road Hawgs" in the evening. Sunday we had Thanksgiving dinner with one of ...
My stop in Kingston
... where I figured they should be. Then....Oh-Oh I'm heading over the 401. The campground is North, I'm heading into Kingston.... Side note: "Bee in a Bonnet" .....literal interpretation. What happens when you are riding your bike, wearing your bike ...
One week.
I'm starting to feel a touch overwhelmed at the prospect of leaving in a week. I know that I want to go, but I'm feeling a little panicky about it. I'm not quite sure why, but it's uncomfortable. Possibly because I haven't made ANY preparations at ...
Kingston, no Jamaicans here mon
... between Toronto and Montreal so the perfect place for an overnight stop. Besides just being a convenient rest stop Kingston it's also the convict capital of Canada as its home to many of the countries prisons not to mention a vibrant old colonial student ...
Cruise anyone??
Well, turns out that I'm a little sick of being home. Actually, I just need a break from the winter (it's finally here, with a vengeance!). I booked a cruise for March 25th out of Miami. It's the same cruise that Jenn from ...
Staying put for a while
... it at that, okay? Hope you enjoyed the ride? Until next time. Contact me if you have any questions or feel like I'm the sort of person you'd take advice from. God bless you if you are. I love people like you. Dave Kingston, Ontario. April 9th ...
First stop: Kingston
... We didn't do much here - ate in a nice Italian restaurant, and then drove a bit around Queen's campus and downtown Kingston. It's a very beautiful city indeed! We have to come back someday to do the Thousand Islands Cruise :) We stopped at ...
Home Safely
Well Thursday was the last day of work in Somaliland. We had some last minute details to work through on Wednesday and Thursday because we are leaving the boxes in the charge of the Ministry of RRR, two local community leaders and one of our team, ...
Walk in the Footsteps of Sir John A. McDonald
The city of Kingston, Ontario was the first capital of the Province of Canada. It was also the where the first Prime Minister of Canada, Sir John A. McDonald grew up and attended school, opened his law practice and served on the town council. ...
The old capital
Another day out and this time to Kingston, which apparently used to be Canada's capital city until it lost its glory and was dropped (something like that). Kingston is a warm welcoming city full of bespoke shops of which I was not allowed to visit (oh ...
Mon nouveau chez moi en Ontario
... . Comme vous pouvez le voir sur les photos la maison est très propre. Surtout si on la compare au reste des appartement à Kingston... tous les appartement que j'ai vue à moins de 10 min de Queen University sont de vrai taudit... aussi appelé par ici ...
Preparing to 'cross the pond'
I've established this log to recount the sights, sounds, stories, and flavours of my trip. Three days before my departure, I have butterflies of anticipation in my stomach. It's been wonderful to dream about this vacation; discovering a new physical ...
Slowing down the pace
... of town life. (We won't be doing that again in the heat of the afternoon sun down a very dull stretch of interstate!!!!). Kingston is a kind of hip n'groovy little place which was the kind of break we needed from the city slicker types of Montreal!! We ...
Kingston
The trip has sadly come to an end, but not without some unforgettable moments. Taiwan is definitely worth a visit for anyone planning a trip out to Asia. There is so much to be seen and discovered that our travel log does not do justice. So please start ...
Islands, thousand of em
It was time to start heading back towards Toronto but there was still time for one final stop off at Kingston near 1000 islands, which is a place where there are islands. Guess how many? About 1800. Ha, tricked you. We jumped on board for a 2 hour ...
There's no place like home
After countless incredible experiences from Samoa to Holland, we are back on Canadian soil, looking forward to our next adventure - and next ...
Getting excited/nervous
So, it's less than a week before I leave. I'm incredibly nervous and excited at the same time. What was I thinking?! I'm really not that adventurous a person! Off for almost two weeks by myself. Then almost 2 more weeks away from home! Just finishing ...
Kingston, Canada
... about an hour and a half and it basically took us on a narrated tour along Lake Ontario and past the nearby islands. In Kingston there are over a thousand little islands that lie along Lake Ontario and there seems to be a lot of history there too... like ...

... the side of the road. Sunday, 16th September A day spent on 'housekeeping' when we managed to find a small village launderette. Kingston on a Sunday night was very quiet and we struggled to find somewhere open for supper. It did feel like it was ...
