This will be my first attempt at a travel blog...well actually at any type of blog. Bookmark my blog, http://travelpod.com/members/lhugli and come back every day to find out how our cruise adventure is unfolding. Linda

We started the morning in the fog so we did not see much of Lake Superior for awhile. We travelled through the forested area north of Lake Superior all day. We stopped at Wawa to see the famous Wawa Goose. Actually now there are two of them. As we got closer to Sault Ste. Marie ...

All I can say is we are grateful we do not live outside Toronto and have to drive those expressways ! We found our way without trouble to Niagara and got to our KOA by 4pm ! It is a huge one with 3 pools and huge kid area ! We decided to get the shuttle right away from the campground to the falls as it runs till 2am ! We were blown away by what we saw. To see that massive amount of water tumble over those shelves of rock and the aqua ice blue color of ...

Today we explored Sudbury noticing how green it has gotten, such a huge change from when I arrived here in 1967 after having been hired to teach here over the phone. It was nothing but barren rocks everywhere! Now with the greening projects that have been going on for a number of years the chaange has been dramatic.We spent the day visiting members of Brian's family.

We left home about 8:15 am with the motorhome packed FULL. I drove as far as Pembroke, Then Brian was bored so he took over. We stopped in Deep River for their famous milk shakes, which spoiled lunch! In Sturgeon Falls we visited St. Mary's Cemetery and found the stone of Mary Sarsfield, baby daughter of Joe Sarsfield (Brian's great uncle) After tramping the ...

Hello from Carol's Campground just before Sudbury, Ontario!

Our first night camping out, and boy did we already have some fun. Where to start? Maybe it was the broken fire alarm which wouldn't stop ringing, or the sink that decided to overflow and flood the bathroom and the hall... and some luggage. Not to mention that if things aren't stuck to Mom's hip, it will go missing. That's probably due to the cradle-like rocking of the RV when it's in motion ...

... with a jacket on, improving. A Chinese couple sits in the section in front of me styling the latest in 1980s' winter wear. It is pretty cold probably about 7 or 9 degrees. I am wearing my shorts again since yesterday it worked out so well. My face is sunburn as are my neck and some parts of my arms. Shakespeare again, to give you a mental picture, imagine the head of Shakespeare on a body dressed like a modern day hiker. We just ...

The morning broke with sunny skies and warmer temperatures - +2C. Hey, don't knock it; when you've been across the Prairies with its cooler temps and constant breeze, +2 is a nice change! We left Eli and Mary after copious hugs and kisses - great folk - it was nice to see them, but hard to leave. But leave we had to. So we waved our final goodbye as we drove down the hill marking the end ...

SUDBURY La route entre Pembroke et Sudbury est beaucoup plus cahoteuse et montagneuse. Une premiere epreuve pour nos équipements et ils tiennent bien le coup. Nous installons nos VR juste à temps avant l'orage. De grands vents nous souhaitent la bienvenue, et ce, sans dommage. La dame à la réception nous recoit tres bien. Elle est mariee à un quebecois, mais ne parle pas francais. La aussi, les outardes sont présentes. Le samedi 8 septembre, nous ...
