Quality Inn Peterborough

Hello Everyone,

We're getting ready to go to Cuba, and setting up this blog is part of it. We fly to Havana on the 8th, and we intend to update the blog at regular intervals. I think we're making our escape just in time... the weather's starting to turn the wrong way...

By the way, for any thieves out there who may be cruising this site, we have major security at the house, plus a full-time housesitter, so forget about it!...

Cheers,
D&T

... place, but I can't. It starts with an F and it's on Dundas St. W. There are dead and barbecued chickens hanging in the front window, you can't miss it. Hahaha. The chicken was flavoured weirdly, the "vegetable and shrimp" dish was carrots, celery, shrimp, cashews...that's it... the pork fried rice...that was most of what I ate. They also don't have a debit card machine, so we literally ...

Left aligned photo tag: Starting to Plan our trip! So Exciting. We will be travelling to Amora on the 2nd of March via London [where we hear we will have a hectic transfer with lots of time on our hands arriving at 9 AM London time and leaving at 3:30 to arrive on the 3rd of March in Lisbon] Whew! I'm already tired. Good thing we have several days to rest up before our roadtrip to France!

To travel well, the road warrior needs to be in good, good, shape. So, my journey begins Sunday morning in Peterborough. Up early and leave my house for the gym. But first, a stop at Tim's for a little java jolt ... after all, it ...

We were supposed to leave early Sunday morning, but there were some last minute repairs on my truck that needed to be taken care of. Everything is all fixed now and in perfect working order, so that means we will be on the road first thing Wednesday morning. Better late than never.

... for - the line-up to get in had grown to almost where we had entered the building!! Those people must have had to wait hours for tickets!! So - inside the Biodome .... This used to be a Velodrome - where bike races were held. The structure must have outlived its purpose and needed another, and believe me - they found a marvelous use for it! It has been converted into an indoor garden/zoo, housing four different ...

... starting fresh and learning to speak French on Valentines day. How romantic! It's going to be a pretty wild few days when I first arrive in Lyon. The day after I am landing, I am scheduled to go to school! I might take a jet lag day on day one, followed by two days of going to Oriane's classes before the holidays! The first round of holidays will be really nice ...

... pack. I washed laundry yesterday afternoon, so everything was damp last night and didn't want to go in my bag. Fortunately I'm not on any kind of real schedule. I can shower, pack, burn at least a few of the cds, eat some breakfast, and hit the road when I'm good and ready.

... We made the trek to Rainbow Cottages farm in Bailieboro, which is halfway between Port Hope and Peterborough (around an hour & a half east of T.O.)in a minibus. We had an entertaining journey there, as everyone was in high spirits and excited about the trip. (And we had Timbits) It was a great day to go, it was very sunny, but with a blanket of crisp white snow on the ground. When we reached the farm, we all bundled out of the minibus to be greeted by 16 ...

... August 1 Livingstone Lake, Ontario It was sunny. It was warm. I was headed to the cottage. Everything was grand. I was pretty much home. I didn't stop for anything. Actually I did get off Highway 11 to see three things... 1. A town called Swastika. 2. A town called Chaput Hughes. 3. To see if Kirkland Lake had a huge sign declaring it to be the hometown of Alan Thicke. I was disappointed on all counts. Saturday, August 2nd HOME I'm starting to feel like I have car-lag. Or ...
