Holiday Inn Oakville (Centre), On

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

... a plane, or even go long distances to travel, you can make adventures in your own backyard or on your way into work. So here's your challenge, if you're not going on a trip to meet new people, why not take a trip within your own city. Explore that spirit of travel, and maybe that will inspire you, to jump on a plane and see more of this wonderful world.

... In some places though, they'd created some pretty amazing structures - one dam held back a lake about the size of that at Sale Water Park (sorry to anyone reading who's not Northern). Our next and final stop in the park was a little further on at Lookout Trail which, as its name suggests, led up through the hills to a clifftop which looked out over a large part of the park interior. The views were impressive but the atmosphere was sadly ...

... Top Male Model'. Whichever decade of my life we have shared time in, I want to thank you - Just for being the person you were made to be. The interactions we shared, the relationship we built, all undoubtedly played a part in the development and maturation of who I am today. For the next 13 weeks I will be preparing for a short-term missions trip to Bamako, Mali. The tentative departure and ...

... and for that reason I am also bringing with me a bright lime green lace bra so that I can feel smugly and secretively subversive on a hot and sticky day. From there on in, designer jeans and nike shoes are pretty much the rule (of fashion, that is). Even the headscarf is not as rigid as many think; colourful designer headscarves are worn back from the forehead, allowing bangs or fringe to show suggestively. I must say I have somewhat romanticized the idea of wearing a ...

... thing. But to still be able to be surprised when I thought I'd gotten it all planned out perfectly is relieving. I'm so looking forward to the surprises that await me in the following weeks and months. I thought today, as I pulled into Union Station, that I am excited, and I should be excited. Saying goodbye has its place, and I won't discredit that, but I shouldn't let it overshadow how overwhelmingly good even an idea of doing this trip is for me. And doing it ...

... s subdivision in Oakville. As the sun rose, bright and true into the sky I cued up a song and watched Nature's grandest performance. Just as the great orange globe poked out from the clouds, these lyrics tumbled into my ears: So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten. Songs are like birds, flying upwards over the mountain. Suddenly all my doubt and paranoia, all my clouded ...

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 ...

Jo picked me up and I rubbernecked like a typical tourist taking it all in. The store fronts, advertisments and house size projection screens blasting commercials mesmerized me as we navigated downtown cosmopolitan Toronto. Coldplay was giving a free concert just a block away which we were listening to live on the radio but we opted to eat instead. We went for Ethiopian and chatted about what else?... travel ...
