A Backpacker in First Class

I am sitting here, creating this travel blog, in the Maple Leaf Lounge in Pearson International Airport. A backpacker...in the Maple Leaf Lounge...about to board a flight to Lima with a first class seat. Hilarious, and completely awesome of course.

I sit here freaking out thinking of all the possible people I could have missed with my …

Awake and Dreaming

Awake and Dreaming
Kit Pearson

Another recommendation from Jenn from work, and another enjoyable read (the other one was Hatchet, which I also highly recommend).

I love reading kids' books because they are usually so easy to read, and there are usually some interesting morals which are not too hard to work out. In this book, …

Leaving Canada: A summary

Since I outlined the *****iness of my flight to Dubai in the following post [yes i know i'm updating these backwards.. shush!] I'm going to use this entry for a summary.

This Canada trip was my introduction to backpacking. I'm going to be attempting a month-long Eurotrip with trains next summer with my best friend, and I'm really glad I …

Island Adventures with added prawns! Yaharr!

Now that we've gone over 1000 views I think you lucky people deserve a trio of updates. Two of them are kind of one, but I want to show off the fact on my shiny map that I have now been to another 2 cities outside Toronto. That’s right guys – two! In one day! Ooooh the suspense must be killing (unless you’ve already seen the map …

Days off in Toronto

Yesterday was spa day!! Sharon, creator/producer, treated all of us ladies to spa treatments at Shizen Spa just as we arrived in Toronto off the buses. It was wonderful girl time. We are too outnumbed by the men on this tour and in venues, and after dealing with several yellers recently, it was great to have some quality chick time! So, I got a …

Girls weekend

Spent the long weekend lounging at Johanna's in St Lawrence Market area, the lounging included lots and lots of patios as the weather turned out well. Christie came in from Hamilton (my roomate from Dalhousie) and Laura stopped by (she lived on Watt St, our house in Halifax) so we had a true girls weekend! It was a really nice time! Was Caribana …

Tronno mate

The trip that awoke a dream.

My wife at the time and I had decided to take a trip to Scotland for two weeks. It was our first big trip and it was the first time I had been across the Big Pond. We saved up lots of money and used lots of plastic and had a fabulous time. We saved a TON of money by staying with family most of the time. The one thing that I learned from that trip …

Leaving toronto...

Great surprises at the airport. Amidst anticipating goodbyes to family I had the lovely surprise of Yodit and Cheryl coming to see me off !! Can't ask for more than that!! :) Then I spent the last half hour frantically dialing numbers to a list of last minute goodbyes at the pay phone in Pearson. What a fun way to cry into a telephone, while …
