Homewood Suites By Hilton' Burlington, On Canada

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

... feeling. I feel a sense of accomplishment and pride for the things I achieved over there. Not only with TAFCOM, but the sense of independence I have now is amazing. I feel like I can accomplish just about anything - if I can go to an unknown country, not knowing anything of the language or culture and achieve what I did, I can certainly do anything, right? I can take control of my own life and make things happen for me. In the future I hope to ...

... I wasn't going to spend the $21 to go up an elevator and take pictures of the city, when i could do other things for free. Then I realized I only live once and I need to do SOMETHING other than just walk around. I loved going up. The elevator was part mirror and it accelerated so quickly my ears were popping. There was a floor where you could just take pictures of the city, and another part where you could stand on the glass floor and look down 11,000 feet or  whatever. All ...

... also add a note about crossing the border on a bus. We all put our passports in a basket in the front so they could give them to the immigration officials as we rolled across at 2 a.m. The other night, Jordin's crew told me they slept right through it all and no one woke them to get out of the bus. We didn't have to get out of the either, just had the official verify our passports to our faces. So, in my case since I was already in my bunk, I ...

It's 4 days till the kickoff of the 6 week trip to Ghana. I wish I was enjoying it more, but I'm still trying to finish up assignments that are due tomorrow and on Saturday, I still have to go to Kingston, sit through classes and then come back to Toronto, finish packing and fly out on Sunday. It's a bit overwhelming. My family is being awesome and ...

... immediately in the land like a cat competition. The Scot retook the lead in the Wheelchair race only to pegged back in the rowing event. The penultimate karate chop event was easily won by Andy leaving the remaining 'how fast can you pitch' baseball game, which the Scot sneaking it by a ...

So it's 9 days till our departure. We have basically everything ready to go: we bought almost all of our travel clothes, our packs, insurance, been vaccinated. The works. Before I write any more, I should say that none of this would be happening without Terri. She is the Queen of organization, and bargain finding. If it wasn't for her, I'd have us show up at Pearson and try to get on a standby flight to somewhere, preferably not in Canada ...

... application. Thanks to everyone I've talked to who has given my advice on places to go, etc. And just in general thank you to everyone who has put up with my all my incessant talking about my trip for the last few months and especially the last few weeks. As anyone who has followed one of my travel blogs before I am an obsessive blogger...rarely going 3 days without making an entry so you will likely hear from me pretty soon. Bye for now.

... 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>

I started my 'life journey' in Canada, Toronto to be specific. It was a bit intimidating at first but I got used to being independent pretty quickly. I made friends pretty much straight away when I went to the bar and stupidly ordered a pint of Tennents to which the guys propping up the bar informed me that I wasn't in 'Glesgy' anymore and ordered me a pint of 'Moose ****' instead on my behalf! FYI, Moose **** is actually called Moose Head ...
