Holiday Inn Select Oakville @ Bronte, 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

Having been here a little over 6 weeks, I've now reached the stage where the staff in my local Starbucks know what I want before I have to tell them - a small sign of my integration into the neighbourhood and a relief after the early confusion around whether I wanted a "tall" latte or "two" lattes as our accents collided.

There were literally hundreds of them swarming up and down the mountain and taking pictures of their wives with almost every conceivable backdrop.

... and have even purchased two very snazzy looking manteaus; the women of Tehran are known to be elegant, fashionable and drop-dead beautiful, and I am determined to look the part. In reality, I suspect that after a day of heat and hijab, I will look anything but, and will be facing an emotional breakdown. But this, after all, is part of the adventure. I've learned that a little bit of hardship brings great rewards!   I am not bringing any copies of "Not Without my Daughter ...

... days and three nights. i'm only booked for the coach car and won't have a proper bed for the next nights, but the real traveller doesnt mind that, as he can save heaps of money like this... Photos of the last week here!

... gives me a feeling of pride that I can't quite put into words. I've talked about doing something similar to this for years, no lie. I am proud of myself, and thankful that I am finally going through with one of my crazy ideas. -Heather *most of you who were a part of my going-away party have seen the photos from that (or at least I hope you have). these are pictures from my visit this weekend to see my Gramma and Grandpa, as well as seeing Ian off. I am a lucky lady.

... and misplaced worries washed away. I was bathed in the golden radiance of the dawn. Clarity hit me like a fist to the jaw: this is how I'm re-starting my life here. Right now, with the morning light all around me, I'm reborn. With sunspots in my eyes, I walked back home chuckling to myself. That's just about the hippiest moment you've had in a long time, Geoff.

... There you can see the big mapple leaf made in grass.<br><br>This is also the territory of gooses, ducks and squirrels. <br><br>I feel very peacefull and confortable all the parks I have visited in Toronto. I really enjoyed these places with are fully part of the city.<br>

... we went to a supermarket (24hours) to get pie (pumpkin!) and ice cream (cookie dough and brownie chunk). I was vibrating with anticipation but paralyzed by all the choices. Jo was fascinated by my enthusiasm and wouldn't assist me in the decision making except for not allowing me to even "consider" getting the low fat versions. We got home and continued our rap session over dessert until our brains (and ...
