Courtyard Hamilton Ontario

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

... demonstrating against the genocide of the Tamils and had placards urging Canadians to boycott goods from Sri Lanka. Around the corner there were about eight riot police who were keeping a close eye on the demonstrators.<br><br>· People park their cars wherever they want: on sidewalks, boulevards, double parked (and empty). Everybody jaywalks: through traffic, in front of cops, it don&#8217;t matter &#8211 ...

... back to Toronto. <br><br>The backpacks have had a trial packing and we're "OK", there's still some space for extras as we go.<br><br>The checklists are getting smaller as we get closer and things are looked after.<br><br>Santa arrives here on November 7th, so now we're heading into "Christmas" mode and anticipating fun, gifts and lots of turkey ...

... paar Rehe!<br><br>Als zweiter Garten (es sind immer etwa 1km bis zum nachsten Garten) stand der Rock Garden auf dem Programm, bei dem wir dann auch Eintritt zahlen mussten. Allerdings haben wir ganz wenig bezahlt und glauben, dass der Kassierer, der sicher auch Student ist, einfach nett zu uns war. Denn der eigentliche Eintritt ist $10 und fuer Studenten $7, zudem hatten wir einen Gutschein fuer eine Person der 50 % Ermassigung auf den regulaeren Preis bringen sollte. Wie in der Summe ...

... proceed along to our KOA. We book in and enquire about transport to Toronto. MMMM this seems to be a problem, we are about 15-20 mins away from the GO bus route/station, and they do not run a shuttle bus. Oh boy! Never mind we are allowed to wander in and pick a suitable site and decide that this will do and we will go in the Castle to the Rail station. A quick lunch and away we head, with a map and Mandy telling us where to go. We are not sure whose ...

... t take photos (oops!) Ayer fuimos a la galeria de arte y nos parecio buenisimo este omnibus! Tiene miles de figuritas (muchos sacados de cajitas felices) y edificios y trenes y animales, todo medio industrial y distopica - es todo un mundo fantastico y medio futuristico arriba de una kombi. Como ven, el simbolo del VW esta dada vuelta. El maestro de dibujo de Ariel nos conto que para el artista era un comentario sobre la conexión nefario con los nazis en alemania.

... that spring was here (finally) and that it was time to get the plates on! Now we have tons of planning to do to get ready to take it (or more accurately, for it to take us) on a long trip through the US, Mexico, Central and South America to our final destination: Punta del Diablo, Uruguay. We have alot to do, including storing, selling/giving away and shipping our belongings, preparing the vehicle, and collecting important ...

... a step in the next direction. I have never been paid to write so this is a first. So far it's going really well. The only thing is I am having to get used to spelling like an American and not a Canadian, which is fine except for the fact that in everyday life I am starting to spell like an American so it's a bit frustrating! I hope to use this job as a stepping stone only. I am now trying to get everything I can out of it. I'm happy that I've reached ...

Here we are getting ready for the big trip. Michelle wanted to make sure that she is ready for the boys in Italy. . It didn't scare her brothers away. Michael's turn to get ready is tomorrow. And Heeeeeeeere's Mikey............Shave, shower ...
