Holiday Inn Toronto-West, On Mississauga

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

... after all they have gone through was very surprising. It definitely challenged my previous assumptions on what "living with HIV/AIDS" really meant. We also got the chance to talk to YCI alumni that had just gotten back from the exact trip we're going on! They were AWESOME and just got us all so much more excited and gave us an opportunity to ask all those little stupid questions that had been collecting in our brains over the last few months. They also ...

... returned to the lifestyle that I love; camped in Collier-Seminole state park for a couple of nights. The park is wonderful and displays the last walking dredge which helped redefined southern Florida by draining the swamp while nearly killing the Everglades. The hiking is wonderful and watching two friendly manatees feed is impressive. Before heading for the Everglades, we spent two more nights of free camping at ...

... to that muchly. Tonight I am going to be an old lady and get an early night to recover from the epic travelling. The hostel here has a cafe and I believe that spaghetti is on the menu for tonight which is a bit of a godsend and means that I don't have to worry about going food shopping for a day or two. I am trying not to think about the 3 day train journey I have to do (twice) in two weeks time. Trains are more comfy than busses right?

... two in Canada, the other being in Vancouver area. The remarkable point with this Beach being, the land/beach area is under the parks authority and they have allowed the option of clothes or not, the water is under another authority that say swimming naked is illegal and you are able to be fined for "indecent exposure". Gee how do they issue the tickets, one is left considering? There is an air strip, put in for the training of the Norwegian Pilots in the second world war, this ...

... much to eat and I was out in the sun all day. This combined with unlimited wine and Jagermeister shots with semi-rockstars did not make for a mellow evening. I saw Dave Foley, and loudly made fun of him because he's now fat and ugly and hitting on everything that moves. This is how our conversation went: "Is this the line for the drinks?" "Yes, I believe so, but it's pretty haphazard at the moment." "OK, thanks Dave Foley" By the time the night was over, I passed out ...

... will survive the carnage (I really really need those Halloween socks that Carly and I are both going to wear on October 31st, even though we will be on opposite sides of the world!). I just received an email from Jerome at the Pakse Hotel, and he says they have blow dryers, so not to worry ladies, I have taken it out...and will have blow dried hair for at least three days out of twenty ...

... for a night out or a dressier event - I find Pumas, Asics, or Chuck Taylors to be the most versatile. 4.) Windbreaker or zip-up hoodie - for rain or cool weather. 5.) Board shorts - usually for swimming or watersports, I favor a longer pair so that it could also be used as walking shorts. 6.) Brown/khaki cotton pants - can be a pair of chinos or cargo pants for places where jeans is against the dress code - I brought along a tan pair of ...

... 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>

... Carter (have to admit, I had to ask Lawrie who she was, but hey- a celebrity is a celebrity). Just came back to the hotel (the lovely Marriott Renaissance), which is conveniently located right next to the huge baseball dome- actually, the hotel is built IN TO the baseball dome, and it's here in the hotel that the Skybox's for the game are), dropped off our purchases and then off we went to our first ever baseball game. The Toronto Blue ...
