Itinerary - first half
This is a top pick! We spent a blustery morning inside planning the details of our trip to Europe. We have had a dump of about 15cm of snow in the morning and afternoon that made dreaming of Tunisia even more appealing. So Andrew and I have hammered out what we think our ...
The Beginning
This is a top pick! So after almost 5 years of scrimping and saving we are only 8 months away from leaving on our trip. We have started to prepare the house to be rented (ripped up the carpet and put down laminate flooring over the Christmas holidays), Santa brought the ...
Dreaming of Africa
This is a top pick! So, our planning continues. We had a great visit with the Sparrows. We have spent a number of hours soaking in the morning sun in the dinning room with our map spread out on the table. We have taken to sticking sticky notes on the map where we want to ...
Time's a tickin'
This is a top pick! Wow! Things are a bit of a whirl wind these days! We just signed a contract with a couple to rent our house for the year! What a relief that is. We found them by advertising the house on the Ottawa school board's intranet. As it turns out Andrew and ...
Wahooo!
This is a top pick! Wahoooo! We have just purchased our tickets to Europe! We leave with Air Canada on Oct. 3 and come home to Ottawa on Dec. 19th. It is so exciting to finally have a ticket in hand and know for sure we are going. Next step is to finalize our trips within ...

This is a top pick! Well you may have guessed by now that we are home. We arrived back in Canada in March.We dropped by Niagra Falls on our way to Guelph. It was a beautiful day in March. I think it was about 23 degrees celcius which is bizarre for that time of year. On our ...
Sad News and Exciting times
This is a top pick! I heard some sad news on the radio this morning. Jonathan Stuemer tried to kill his father in the middle of the night. I'm not sure if you know who I am talking about so let me explain a little. The Stuemers are a local Ottawa family that took their ...
Packing
This is a top pick! Packing isn't all it's cracked up to be. Well, I guess it's not really cracked up to be all that really is it? Moving would be easier if we were actually moving out. As it is we are having to go through all of our possessions with a fine toothed comb. ...
Planning and more planning
This is a top pick! Going to work everyday is getting harder and harder. Mondays are the worst. Andrew and I delay getting up and invariably one of us says "Wow, this work thing is really getting in the way of our trip planning!" We somehow manage to get ourselves up, ...
March Break Planning
This is a top pick! Well it is now Thursday evening of the March Break. I can't believe it has gone by so fast! We signed the kids up for March Break Camp so that we could spend a lot of time getting ready for our trip. We always are a little disappointed about how much we ...
House
This is a top pick! Well March break is over and we are now looking forward to the Easter long weekend. Things are starting to rev. up for me with regard to my summer job at Red Pine Camp (RPC). I had one meeting over March break and have another lined up Easter weekend. ...
Where Da Hoozat?
... to get to Kathie's (Dave's sister) place, so we only took the Autoroute for an hour and then peeled off to the north-west before getting to Montreal towards Candiac. We travelled a highway that followed the south shore of the St Lawrence for a ...
