Rundles Morris House Stratford

Woe is me - my heart hangs heavy in my chest now, as if a truck has dumped its cementy load of gloominess into it, and I'm unsettled that it'll cease to beat no more. I'm a mixed bag of emotions, the Bulk Barn type if we were talking candy, and I'm both extremely excited to be going home - to gaze upon familiar faces and to soak in the comforts ...

Heute gab es keine Ausreden mehr, es konnte also ab in die Twin Cities gehen. Wem bisher noch nicht klargeworden ist, dass Kanada ein Einwandererland ist, hier im Südwesten Ontarios hat er die perfekte Gelegenheit sich dessen bewusst zu werden. Allein ein Blick auf die Karte ist schon aussagekräftig. London, Windsor und Toronto (ehemals York) ze...

We haven't left yet but we will be on the road tomorrow (Fri. Jan. 8, 2010). We hope this travel blog will show you just a little bit of what we are seeing and doing as we go.

Here is the truck all loaded and with room to spare for those needed shooping items and souvenirs. We'll be in touch.

Kids are a curious breed: they tend to be smaller than the average adult, grimier, with dirt and muck permanently jammed beneath their chewed fingernails and decorating their knees, tomato sauce and chocolate icing besmirching the smooth, unwrinkled skin about their ever-smirking lips, have wriggly little fingers that love to touch, touch, touch...

We crossed the border south of Winnipeg and traveled east to recross the border at Sault Ste. Marie. We are driving into wet weather and decided to save the Michigan south travels for another time. There is heavy fog hanging over the water so the Canadian route south from Sudbury, with water just on one side of us, has more appeal. It also provi...

It's getting down to the draw and we need to start taking inventory of everything we need for our travels and see if it will all go within our weight restrictions and the size of our panniers...

We went through the bulk of our supplies before we moved from Calgary since everything is going into storage, we needed access to our camping/c...

We arrived in Toronto on Friday night at approx 10:30 Ontario time. Something exploded in my bag, I think it was my shampoo. The next morning Rai's sister Louise made us tea biscuits and we played with Rai's neice Jadelyn. We then had to walk down to the Car Rental place, where we found out that we couldn't rent a car the way we were used to re...

This morning was bright. Early, but good. I watched a bad movie and fell asleep early last night with the boys all crashed out around me. I dreamt fervently last night. I kept waking up and falling back into sleep and dreams. Before I fell asleep, I was thinking about Facebook.com, so maybe that's why my dreams were so screwed up! Facebook.com i...

There have been times when certain things have really scared the hell out of me, and I really don't scare easily. I've not ever been one to not try something new b/c it's intimidating. Infact, it's those things that make me want to try harder. Last week, life flashing before my eyes, I barely missed getting smucked by an ancient little guy who c...

I started unpacking some stuff last night. I was like a kid in a candy store, or at Christmas. So excited! Alot of our things have been in storage for so many years now, that I was pulling things out left, right and center, all; "oh! here's this painting, oh! I found the scarf I got in Hong Kong! Oh!...." and you get the picture. Jer was having ...
