Out of Here!
Jan 29, 2008

... as cheap a place to escape winter as it used to be, it's still their home away from home.  Some have even picked up and moved completely, such as my sister's friend Peggy who sold her house in Saskatoon and all her belongings and never looked back!

Home Again

So that is it.  The trip of the year over.  I can't say I'm sad to be home but I still don't want to have responsibilities again.  It was a great experience so thanks for reading and hopefully it was somewhat entertaining.  Maybe it ...

Did anyone say panic?
Aug 21, 2008

I think I'm already homesick

There's no place like home, there's no place......
Aug 1, 2009

We are in a very strange position of being home and yet not having a home to go to.  Our home is rented until the 13th of August and so we have been staying with Jim's parents and out at the farm.  The farm has been a great break from everything ...

Some last minute shopping and I still know that I forgot something.  Now for some boring details to get out of the way: We leave Monday at 6 AM for Toronto, then head to Lima.  We will be arriving in Lima around midnight on Monday.  I ...

I leave in a week! Good thing I told all those people that we "totally had to hang out before I go!" oops, I've got WAY too much other stuff on my mind right now and that's tiring me out so much that I barely have time to relax, so I think I'm starting ...

South to the Sun
Feb 8, 2007

We hadn't planned on travelling this winter, but we've had snow (and cold!) since the beginning of November, so we decided to pick a country and head out. There's lots of ways to travel and it takes some experience before you discover your preferred ...

I leave the day after tomorrow... I can't believe it's here! I packed my bags last night... I really have no idea how to pack for a 6 month trip... I'm sure I'll forget something or take something I'll never use but it's all part of the learning ...
