Budget Motel Hamilton

My dear friends: It's getting colder in Canada and my thoughts are wandering to warmer climes. On January 12/2010, I fly to Managua, Nicaragua and then work my way north ending up in Cancun, Mexico. From there, I fly to join many members of the Gaudun family in Daytona Beach. If you would rather not get notifications of my travel blogs just send a brief "no thank you" to this travelpod . No problem. Hasta la vista baby. Steve

Everyone is getting very excited.
We've upgraded our camera and hope to be posting some nice pictures, and maybe even some video on this site.
As we finish a location, we will let you know where we stayed, provide some pictures and also fill you in on the activities we did in the area.

... plaid tablecloth outside a pizzeria owned by Giuseppe. Wanted to see a sign "Brunos Easy Loan" but missed that one too.

· Chinatown – Over crowded, tightly packed businesses, street vendors, bicycles with shopping cart sized baskets, multi colored and sensational.

... Gaerten sind wohl nicht fuer Besucher, die zu Fuss kommen ausgerichtet (oder wir sind von der falschen Seite gekommen), da es auf den ganzen Strassen keine Fusswege gab und wir daher einfach auf dem Gruenstreifen gelaufen sind.

Was schon auf dem Weg, und auch in den RBG aufgefallen sind, sind wirklich grosse Gebilde aus Spinneweben in den Baeumen die eher ausssehen als ob sie aus einem Alienfilm entsprungen sind. Da wir nicht wussten worum es sich handelt, habe ich hinterher ...

The countdown has begun. 11 days to go. The preparation has begun including checking validity of vaccinations, malaria pills, getting the camcorder ready, minimum amount of traveller's checks, making sure money is easily accessed by my TD Visa Card and my new U.S.Visa Card , plus ...

... to the KOA called West Toronto, they had advertised bus/train system to Toronto. This trip became an adventure as well, simply because we could NOT locate this KOA in Mandy, oh well, good clear instructions in the book; YEAH RIGHT! Until we get to a point they are doing road works and detoured us off the road we required to travel along. "Sorry, they have not put in a diversion road, and NO I do not know my around here! I live in XXX" Oh well we will ...

... divides life and art.... A magnificent visual masterpiece, Bruegel-Bosch Bus consists of a 1960 Volkswagen that appears to pull a post-industrial universe displaying a cornucopia of fantastic and seductive worlds that play with our senses," encapsulating "a world in which reality and unreality, logic and fantasy, banality and sublimation of existence, form an inexplicable unity. This 'bus' is a Kubrickesque megalopolis made of icons symptomatic in present ...

... Its been good. We have used this week to organise our train across Canada. We have the next month pretty sorted. We go to Toronto tomorrow for a few days, and then the trip across begins Thursday. Were taking in Winnipeg, Edmonton, Jasper, Banff, and get into Vancouver on 16 October. That's the plan anyway. Were looking forward to it, should be fun...........

... people like me, or likely you either. The truth is so many people only have a week or two of holidays that these kinds of trips are the only way they know how. Tours, vacation packages, guides etc. Time is of essence for many so they want info on the nitty-gritty, they want to know where, when and how much. As for me?
