Homewood Suites Cambridge-Waterloo

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

... that we lived in. His sister was married to another neighbor of ours – Lloyd Hattebuhr. Brian moved to Kelowna in 1984 but still remembers several people in the subdivision. Sure is a small world!

People in the Toronto area drive like maniacs! They never go the posted speed limit and weave in and out of traffic switching lanes and squeezing into the ...

... the clothes still fit us after the treats and turkey!

Then, it's hosta nueva and bon voyage!

... taking Spanish lessons there last year so would like to continue our lessons for a week in this lovely Mayan area. Heading north, we will visit our Washington State friends, Pat and Gail, who will be doing volunteer work in Quetzaltenango (Xela). CHIAPAS AND OAXAXA, MEXICO ( 1 month) February The itinerary starts to get a little greyish at this point but in general, we want to visit San Cristobal, Palenque, Tuxla ...

... a little bit nervous. My entire family was away on holidays. I'm talking everyone! I called Jer at work and said that if he could book off early that would be cool. By that time I had already called him and told him of the impending action. It was hard to believe that after all these months, something was finally going to give! The baby bomb was about to drop! I had contractions all day and all night. All the next day too. Nothing serious, and ...

... us for what we will experience. The journey will be long. A very long one. There will inevitably be many bumps and severe turns in the road. There will certainly be times where we'll wonder if we went a little too far, maybe just a touch. Situations we won't know how to deal with. Many of them. Unbelievable amounts of trial and error. I think anyone who's ever traveled this road before could not give us enough advice to get us through. What we will learn is going to be ...

... 3 little letters 'www' bring us the tools to do the research to apply that awareness somewhere useful. Sure, many of us travel but what do we offer? Traveling in itself does not make us individual. How do we hold out our hands to new cultures and allow them to gain an understanding about us? I think we're often as fascinating and complex as other cultures are. "To the ...

It continues to be hot and humid, hampering our level of activity. We went to Stratford, about an hour Northwest of Cambridge, where they were hosting an annual Festival with plays by Shakespeare and others. Unfortunately, the tickets were quite expensive, and we couldn't really leave the dog in the car, so we just walked around the picturesque town. It's filled with stone buildings and bridges, a quaint downtown, and parks lining the river. There were several eclectic eateries ...

... politicians of Quebec are pulling off on their constituents. From now on it would be a race home. I stuck to side roads most of the way through Nova Scotia. This way I could move along fast enough without cursing at traffic and I could roll across the scenic countryside without worry. I had a brief stop in Moncton just to check out my email at the Chapters store. I had planned to camp at Kouchibouguac National Park but there was no ...
