Howard Johnson Hamilton East

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

Everyone is getting very excited.
We've upgraded our camera and hope to be posting some nice pictures, and maybe even some video on this site.
As we finish a location, we will let you know where we stayed, provide some pictures and also fill you in on the activities we did in the area.

... of the street so when passengers disembark, they have to cross a lane full of cars before they get to the curb. Amazingly, nobody gets run over.

· One really notices the diverse cultures of the people. On one corner there were about six small restaurants where you could choose Japanese, Korean, East Indian, Chinese, European or Italian cuisine.

· Near city hall, there was a group of Sri ...

... hatte eines dieser winzigen aber sehr flinken Tierchen fotografieren zu koennen.

Der dritte Garten war die Laking Garden, der mich ein bisschen an Herrenhausen in Hannover erinnert hat, obwohl die Gemeinsamkeiten nicht so gross sind. Es ist ein sehr grosszuegig angelegter Garten mit einer grossen Sammlung an Lilien und anderen Bluetenpflanzen, von denen die meisten leider schon verblueht waren. Irgendwann haben wir dann angefangen die Namen der ganzen Blumen zu lesen und das ...

... Platform, Karon asks a person where we get the bus to Toronto, Section 4! Ok lets sit and wait it should be every half hour we reckon, during the wait period we watched some come and go but not to our section, mmmm getting a little suspicious we go looking for a time table, to discover we still have 30 mins wait and it takes an hour to get into town, we figured hey that makes it 3:30 arrival in town and a bit late to look around. Let us abandon this ...

... a tener que aguantar muchas faltas de ortografia, etcetera. Pero, como dicen - es lo que hay valor! Bueno, ya estamos en la parte preparativa: mandando algunas cosas que queremos tener en PDD a Uruguay, regalando otras cosas por alli, y Mateo esta muy emocionado porque va hacer un enorme venta de "garage sale" en frente de la casa (si es que algun dia sale el sol...) Tambien tenemos que hacer un monton de cosas para preparar la ...

... really book my trips ahead of time cause the super saver was sold out. So I had to pay the regular fare. Round trip $237 from Ottawa to Toronto and back. It was pretty comfortable and I left at around 12:30/12:20pm so I didn't have to wake up tooo early. I then took the train GO to get to Hamilton on Friday which is the local train/bus and I guess it was the rush hour cause the train was packed. I managed to squeeze into a seat with my tiny luggage cause I ...

... their home for the last couple nights I'm here in Toronto. Last night it was Soooo comfy. The previous nights in the hostel were so uncomfortable. There was no ventilation or airflow so it was stifling in the room. Not even a fan to help. Sat & Sun night I slept on the floor with a sheet to stay a little cooler (dogs and cats got it right). Yesterday morning I packed a box to send back home. It ...

... were two possibilities: 1. They are unable to land planes. 2. They are unwilling to land planes. So ok, my thinking continued... why would the FAA not be able to land planes? Some major power outage? The air traffic control grid goes down? Both possible, I guess. Now why would they be unwilling to land planes? I dunno... they lost Air Force One? Not bloody likely, right? We are under attack... come on who is going to attack us? China? Not likely, I ...
