Fairfield Inn By Marriott Toronto Oakville

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

... by featureless little towns of a few thousand people and industrial-looking farms. Thankfully the car had cruise control and I was momentarily amused by passing through Barry's Bay. We picked up some lunch from Whitney, just before reaching the park at about 11am, and ate it by the road after having a brief look at a logging museum. It was interesting to see how hard life had been for (apparently) half of all the adult men in Canada who left ...

Good morning and welcome to the first entry of my first travel blog! A few months ago, I stumbled upon this website while randomly Googling and found myself lost in journal after journal of various adventures. As a reader, I found the overall layout really easy to navigate through, and enjoyed how the website enabled a writer to try and include their loved ones in their journeys to the best of ...

... I have learned that "hijab" is not exactly limited to what we in Canada understand as the headscarf. In reality, hijab just means proper modest and Islamic dress. In a place like Saudi Arabia , this might translate into a full length black abaya and niqab. In Afghanistan , it might translate into a burqa. In Morocco , it may mean simply long skirts or pants and a loose fitting top. In Turkey , it might mean "try not to show cleavage". So what does it mean in Iran ...

... canadian artists, cafes and restaurants. We also went to the ROM, Royal Ontario Museum with great and huge dinosaur-bones. Our favorite was the sceleton of an animal that also appears in Ice Age 2 (look at the pictures). A lot of steps and a few wet feet later we relaxed in Bobs flat, which is right on Lake Ontario and opposite the new airport. After that we went to the beach where Bob has his canoe, but it was too cold to get it ...

... in this city has given it a totally different name, and a feeling will stick with me wherever I go. I do consider myself to be a strong woman. 'Strong' in the sense that I have been able to navigate through some tough personal situations and come out of them with a lesson rather than regret. As for the goodbyes, I'd rather not rehash... if you were there, you know how I reacted and what they meant to me. But I will say that I was probably not prepared for how ...

Friday, July 20, 2007 Restless and irritated, I woke up a little after four in the morning. As much as I wanted to, I just couldn't get back to sleep. Apparently my body's still in the addled by jetlag. Resigned to waking life, I ambled downstairs after an hour of fruitless tossing and turning. With a fresh glass of OJ, I sat on the porch at five am smoking and cursing my sleep-deprived brain. The ...

Hight Park is a nice place to have a walk and take a break. It is close to downtown. The park stretches south from Bloor st. West to the Queesway (subway station : Hight Park or Keele <br><br>I have visited the park in winter but it may be cutest in spring or summer. <br ...

... lots of new friends and everyone seemed really excited for me. There were lots of people playing with glowstix and in ways I had never seen before. I learned a few new tricks and found the whole night was like playing in a playground. I don't know why but somehow, when you are at home, life just seems easier. I seemed to have just a little more bounce to my step and felt a familiar energy that made me feel like I belonged. Through the whole night, it never ...

... mainly Oxford and Brighton. I've spent a month in Oxford some years ago, and I absolutely loved it. I missed it so much I decided I just had to go back. And Brighton is just such a cool place (the beach! the beach!), that it warrants a day or two of exploring. I think I may throw in a day in Bath as well, just to round things off. I'm really excited about the tour, but the really great thing about travelling alone is the flexibility - so, I may decide to skip Bath and go to ...
