Hitting the road for the Epic Road Trip Adventure!
Here goes! My first blog. Please be patient as it may take some time to figure out the ins and outs of blogging (what a lame verb). But I thought it would be a good way to keep friends and family posted on our adventures. Enjoy! (we hope!) After a ...
Pre-departure
The idea for the trip to Costa Rica began with an idle MSN conversation with Cathy last September. With last July's trip to Israel over and done with, I was itching to begin planning the next adventure. I casually mentioned an interest in Costa Rica, and ...

A Day Late, A Buck Short
... to avoid on this trip, but oh well, small price to pay. Then, the home stretch: a short-hop commuter flight from Philly to Montreal. That one was easy as pie. I nearly cried tears of joy when I saw the Olympic Stadium come into view as we approached for ...
Home Sweet Home
Et non, je ne me suis pas trompé dans la date, le 27 au matin je regardais le Pacifique, et je suis remonté sur ma monture pour parcourir les kilomètres inverses jusqu'à Vancouver. J'ai déposé ma moto dans un pick-up, pour la reprendre à la fin de ...

Sayonara Japan, Bonjour Montreal
Departure day Woke up early and repacked my entire bag before grabbing breakfast and setting out for the airport. Narita is well outside of Tokyo, and since my railpass was expired, I took the slower train to save some money. It took about 90 ...
Nous sommes arrive a Montreal
... too long and it was time to head on to the second largest French-speaking city in the world. The drive to Montreal was along the Trans-Canada highway we have been following for a couple of days but, understandably, this section is a big dual carriageway, ...
Taking the VIA home and the Montreal basilica
... I followed the sounds to the place where I thought the music was coming from. It turned out to be coming from the Basilica of Montreal. It seems that everytime I am bored in a strange city, I am always lured to a local religious venue by some sort of ...
"Morocco, is that in Spain?"
It's starting to feel routine. The packing, the getting ready to go, the last-minute scramble to clear enough of my to-do list at the office to allow me to actually depart... well, we'll see about that. There are still a few hours to go. Will I be able ...
Day 16: Home Sweet Home
Our flight home left at 8am, and we were told to get to the airport early to leave enough time. So we arranged to share a taxicab with Kirsten, who was also flying out first-thing. Cathy's alarm watch was set for 4:30, but when it went off, neither of ...
The land of maple syrup, hockey and hot chocolate

Je ne parle pas français
My first stop was Montreal, Canada and got their late Monday night and first thing I heard was Celine Dion blaring out at the airport, very patriotic. The hostel wasn't too far away and once I got their introduced myself to dorm ...
Leaving on a Jet Plane
Bluevans Shuttle was right on time at 8 AM to take us to the airport. The flight was not until 1:30 PM but I wanted to leave extra time in case the shuttle was late or there was traffic. I also needed to get my tax paperwork stamped and ...
the idea for a journey...
... there – but I feel that was the main drive behind everything I have done since then. When I came home, back to Montreal, I was a different person. Before I had left Lilly and I were on the verge of breaking up. During these weeks apart I had ...

A yen for Yen
The idea for this trip to Japan came about almost by accident. Most of you know me by now and understand that my traveholism wasn't going to allow me to just stay home. I'd had vague ideas for a trip to South America that didn't pan out for this year, ...
Back in the Y-U-L
Surrealism defined: Montreal in March with absolutely no snow. I'm home again, though you'd never know it. It's refreshingly cool after the heat of Saigon, but for March 24th it is ridiculously warm here. Since I haven't really had any sleep in two days, ...

The early bird ... is someone else
To put it mildly, I'm not exactly a morning person. So you might think that after all these years of travel, I would've figured out not to book 6:30am flights. But that would assume a level of intelligence that is, evidently, beyond me. The early flight ...
