Summer is over and the October leaves are falling. It's been months since I've updated this. I'm not too sure who will read it now but I need to do this for my sanity. <br><br>Last I updated was when I was leaving Canada about to fly to Italia to meet up with Philip.<br><br>Well, I did that. And let me tell you now, it was the best ...

... br>We are going to try to get away as early as we can tomorrow as it will be a fairly long first day in the saddle ... approximately 600 km to Sandpoint Idaho<br><br>Put a full communication system on the bike so we can talk, listen to music, etc on the road ... way better than hand signals!<br><br>Soon as we get started and take a few ...

... a bad place to hunker down or hang out. Not bad at all. So for now, I will continue with my frenzied last minute preparations and will be out of touch for a couple of days until that plane touches down on the other side of the world. Thank you for all of the well wishes and fond farewells, I am a lucky girl. The stories will be on their way shortly... I can' wait!!! xoxo

... if I did that bicycle tour that I would be quite rushed to get back to Frankfurt. I decide to skip the bicycle tour. The plan gets modified again, that is, after I've booked my flight in and out of Frankfurt. You'll have to read the rest of this blog to find out exactly where I decided to go. As of today, I AM SCREWED! Why, do you ask? I am completely broke. No cash! No credit! I'm leaving on a jet plane in 3 days and I don't even have any cash ...

... at work. Yep, I've got my priorities straight - I don't have my own desk or computer (I'm currently sitting at the desk of someone who is on vacation), and I haven't done any paperwork whatsoever, but at least there's a coffee machine! I'm also having a little trouble sorting out how I am going to get paid, as I have to work through either a company or an agency. Hopefully it will all sort itself out ...

... late. I check on my trailer and the furnace hasn't run for a while. Some water pipes are frozen. The power plugs outside Louise's house have been flipping the breaker. I don't know how long the power has been out. It's -13 out and it's not suppose to warm up above freezing. I bang on the house door and wake Alexis up. I check the breaker and it won't stay on. I get the extension cord and plug it inside the house. The house door stays open a little. I should be ...

... which was even better in that it wasn't expected. The campground in Montana was incredibly beautiful, right by the biggest earth filled dam in the world in Fort Peck. What else? We saw the world's biggest cow and buffalo statues in North Dakota and Montana, and it's been nothing but sunshine for about three days. We came home to a house cleaner than we left it - thanks Marcella and Kevin. We drove 17,382 km since we ...

It started with a simple brochure. How about a trip to Peru and a train trip to Machu Picchu I said to my husband Al. Harrumph said Al as he scanned the brochure. Handing back the brochure Al said he would only be interested in the trip if we did the Inca Trail hike into Machu Picchu. Taking back the brochure I read: four day hike, straight up a mountainside, at high altitude, sleep in tents, no showers and ...

... back a few weeks and I've already needed to be slapped on more than one occasion! Many people have asked me what the highlights of the trip were, and what I will miss most about Europe. In the spirit of the new, ever-so-slightly optimistic me, I will present the highlights first, with the best highlights at the top of the list. The Highlights: 1) The way Isabel shyly looked away when she said "Of course I do!" in response to me saying "You probably don't remember me, but I was ...
