... there. Only 2 runways were open. We go to one, after waiting 20 minutes for the ground crew to be ready, and 14th in line. Finally our turn and as we are about to go (engines started already) they shut that one down. So now we taxi on tarmac. Doing circles as we are in other planes way, waiting for new flight path. Half hour later we head to other runway. Finally get in air, only 2 hours later. I was so ready to be off the plane. I felt so sick.

... disco playing reggaeton, etc... It could use some work, it seems like they tried to do too much too quickly but was definitely awesome!

We then headed back to Gaudy's, picked up food for dinner, and then I made dinner for the group. We then all realized that we had quite a bit of rum to finish before our flight the next day. We couldn't let it go to waste so we decided that a small hostel party was in order. We were soon joined by a small group who were doing a EAL teaching ...

... Winnipeg from its early coureur de bois age to the 1970s to the coffin of Louis Riel to upside the different games children have played over the years.  Beth and I sat down to a game of checkers but after a while we realized the game wasn't as fun as it was in our youth.  Then we decided to explore the forks.  The original site of settlers to Winnipeg it now hosts little shops, many train tracks and even more trains as they move back and forth across the ...

Left Ottawa to fly to Winnipeg to pick up a rental car to drive to Kenora to go to Sam's Wedding on the Weekend. It will be the W. Pekarchuk's first Grandchild to be married. Mark Carlson is the lucky groom. We should arrive in Kenora to stay at Dad's place around 7 PM

... It seemed to be one of those places that you always hear about, but never imagine actually being.

But at this time in the morning, we were still a very long time off getting to China. We were leaving in three groups, two of the choir members pulled the short straw and had to catch a 6am flight to Vancouver, I was on the group leaving at 8:30 and the rest would be leaving two hours later. I was so exhausted walking into the airport ...

... bear decorated to look like a loon. At the Forks we took a boat ride on the two rivers and then investigated the market area. The food court was more diverse than most; where else could you find Sri Lankan and Ukrainian fast food in such proximity? We then settled into an afternoon jazz concert under a tent, with Elizabeth Shepherd (vocals and ...

... write a bit of a story (In between dog sitting, jewelry production assisting - Gabrielle's moved into metal work so I have more to do now). The reason I'm telling you guys is cause I want contributions. Gabrielle and I have collected stories from people while we were traveling but we want more. If anyone wants to contribute, it would be hugely appreciated. I'm looking for stories about real travel. In our ...

... to stay in the area to finish up some odds and ends for a short while, so our friends Wayne and Judy Litschge allowed us to camp on their farmland where they are constructing a new house. It was then time to catch up on some family visitations. My daughter Mary and her husband Brian provided a nice shady spot in their back yard providing I didn't discharge any "black water." They live in Littlestown, Pa. near Gettysburg, and we had a ...

... 3 catlike animals that are related to tigers, a beautiful butterfly, tiny birds, some huge frogs and tons of fireflies. When we were about halfway through our tour it started to storm out. It was a ridiculous downpour where rivers began to flow on either side of the truck and small waterfalls developed along parts of the road where the sides were higher. Luckily, the driver had a couple of ponchos in the back so we didn't get too wet. They continued with the tour but we didn't ...
