Days Inn - Windsor Casino District (Downtown)

Phew... Going through US Customs was a bit trying... No searching but a lot of questions meant - I supposed - to catch us with something bad... Who knows. We did not loose any meal. We're in the middle of a fairground, with a weak WiFi but OK. The only analog TV channels are from Detroit but the Detroit area offers 22 digital channels, many

Longer day than expected but we grinded the flying condo to a halt. No problem other than a sticking lock on the propane door.

... I have for a while unless they can make them out of kimchi in Korea. My flight in wasn't bad, but I didn't get much sleep. Time to work on the TEFL though, so I will end my entry here unless something interesting happens between now and my flight, which isn't for 3 more hours! Sweet layover!

... stores wherever we travel. I'm already planning on buying another suitcase in Australia to carry home all my goodies (which I know I'll collect).
So much for not knowing anyone. Bill got a call from a friend yesterday who was talking to an acquaintance of his who was telling him about a cruise he was taking, and wouldn't you know it, it's the one we're on ...

... would ever come to be realized.  Between incessant court-dates, elusive probation officers, and my own hemorrhaging of funds from traffic tickets and ubiquitous overdraft fees, my final days in the US felt like a hobble rather than a sprint to the finish.  Intermittently, I felt moments of disdain for the place I was raised.  A string of memorable weekend getaways with accompaniment from Daniel Pachota (born in South Dakota) amounted in my final days of summer, indicative of my longing to ...

USA Day 9 Tuesday, September 08, 2009

London Ontario to Detroit city

Morning breakfast is served in the sunroom next to the lobby. They provide us with cereal, sausages scrambled eggs and toast plus coffee

We head off towards Detroit Canada is not much different in looks to the united states, except for a plethora of Tim Horton donut and coffee take always. We have also noticed take away chip vans next to service stations ...

As I am sitting here writing this, Max (the horse of a dog) is on the love seat here in Jeff's office, staring at me as I type. He is such a beautiful dog, but he really needs someone who can spend some time with him to teach him some obedience. He really has no idea that he is as large as he is or how strong he is. He thinks that he should be able to behave like Tobi (the Shitzu)...and besides he is still a puppy at a year and a half so he wants to ...

You must have encountered this question, at least once in your life, maybe from one of the campfire gatherings, or when you were listening to a radio show, or one of those 'inspiring' chained email from your peers. You might think about it for a minute, and then probably got distracted with other things. Here is the question: 'If I were going to die tonight, is this the way I would spend my last day?' This is the essence of Death mediation that I would like ...

Today's blog is inspired by a good friend Minnies's blog about friendship. Jordan and I are the kind of people who can make new friends quite easily. In every important phase of my life, I have been lucky to make some good friends. I think one of the reasons is that we are both single child. When I was little, I was always proud that I am a single child. The reasons are obvious - when you are young, your opinion and worldview are pretty much ...

... and white barns. It's difficult to limit the adjectives in such a beautiful place. After an extremely hospitable stop in Leamington (near London, Dunwich and Southwold) we continued over the frozen Lake Ontario towards Niagara Falls. Very tired at midnight, we took rooms in the Marriot (of course) due to the reduced, off-season rates. The thunder of water somewhere below sent us off to ...

... There are many more, there are about three that are midly interesting, I just chose the worst. The best thing about these pictures is that the Detroit skyline is nicely framed in them. Be ready to laugh your ass off or just stare in awe at the wonders of Windsor sculptors. ps. I added another number to my "list of things this year" from the new years entry.
