... , I cried. I felt guilt, or joy, or sadness, or anger, or a whole mix of it, I dont know. I was back in the same old Canada, but I wasn't the same old Julie. I can't be, not after what I have seen. And I don't know if its a good thing or a bad ...
Home after 24-1/2 hours, head shaking & patience!
Our bags are packed, and the Cachaça bought (sugar-cane derived alcohol to make caipirinhas.) We left the hotel at 12:30 for a 3 pm flight. We had a moment of uncertainty when our taxi veered off the main road and drove through some pretty rundown ...
anxious and waiting...
... getting a little more excited each day. I haven't started packing yet, and I have a few more things to buy and errands to run. Aside from that, I'm just trying to soak in what's left of my time in Canada before I embark on a trip of a ...
Education is light
When you talk to a woman who has recently given birth she'll say something like "it was hell. I’m never doing that again. Nor should you." Give her a few weeks and she’s already talking about “next time” having suddenly (or ...
Toronto - Rest and Relaxation
So another week and another a location - this time a little bit more familiar: a family of my close friends Larry and Cheryl. It had been a week that I planned for me to recover from camp and running around in Boston and so I have. Well when I say that ...

Toronto to Vancouver
With only a 20 minute delay due to a lack of First Officer (who showed up eventually) we were on our way. Thus far, a smooth flight and thankfully, they've updated the on-board movies since I returned from the UK. So with nothing else to do, I have ...
Unscheduled diversion to Brisbane
Due to bad weather in Sydney which reduced the airport to one runway we were diverted to Brisbane. We could have taken our turn in the Queue at Sydney Airport, but we did not have enough fuel reserves from our trip from LA. We thought that any delay ...

DOWN BY THE RIVERSIDE 1
The prettiest town I have ever seen is Niagara-on-the-Lake. It is as pretty as a picture, helped along by the masses of colourful flowers lining the main street. The shops are quaint 19th Century little buildings, and the houses are so attractive. All ...
Things I've been pondering...
What better place to people watch and ponder our very nature than a 5 hour wait at the airport. Things I've been wondering include 1. If you're a man, is it cooler to rock a sweet fanny pack (bum bag for our international followers) or a stylish coach ...

Africa is a continent
... not going to borrow a Kenyan orphan to hold in my arms and pose for a photograph so that I can return to my comfortable life in Canada and brag about how I spent my summer. Nope. I am going to East Africa to see animals. Big. Mother. Animals. I know this ...
Royal Canadian Wedding
De dag waarom het allemaal begonnen is, de bruiloft van Wouter en Christina. Redelijk vroeg zijn we op gestaan, want met name vrouwen hebben veel tijd nodig voor zo'n feest. Dankzij een geweldige planning waren we slechts 5 minuten te laat klaar J. ...
The flight from Mississauga to Kelowna.
... we did arrive in Kelowna only 15 minutes behind schedule. It was crucial to arrive at noon, as the Gold medal hockey game - Canada vs USA - was starting right at 12 o'clock. The boys were waiting for us, John got the rental, stopped for cold ...
Leaving Toronto
It was a rushed but remarkably unstressed day, considering I did not start packing until this morning. Work and T's many school and extracurricular activities had kept me too busy. Leaving Toronto has been happily unremarkable. No long waits, plus the ...

Change in plans...
In preparation of my 6:30 am flight I've avoided caffeine for the 6.5 hours and I'm exhausted! (How do non caffeine drinkers survive?). Fresh out of a hot bath I set 2 separate alarms for 3:15am and log onto American Airlines to choose my seats. Weird. ...
Flying past North America to Central America
High in the air on a early morning flight...if you order OJ with your champagne you can call it mimosa. Why would they only have 2 bottles of champagne on a big huge plane? Whites pretty good, reds not bad. Fast 5.5 hours. Jeff didn't bore me ...
