I had been to Montreal in November of 1999 while my wife was presenting her thesis in Brattleboro, Vermont.  I had some free time when she was busy and so I drove up there for a day.  I really enjoyed it and need to get back there. During my first visit, I went to the Hard Rock Cafe but …

I got myself out of bed this morning...early...and when I opened my eyes I saw spring...I could hear it too...the birds have been chirping about...singing and making nests...Baby's are being born...and the Mom's are twittering about looking for food for the babies..Hummingbirds are coming to the fe…

My daughter wanted to see her aunt in Calgary so I thought I will drive her as it would make a nice Father Daughter trip. After leaving her in Calgary I drove North to Innisfail for a wedding then on to Edmonton. In total I drove 3500klm through some very beautiful counrtyside.

After a flight of seven hours, we arrived around 8.00 pm at Calgary, Canada, for a three week roadtrip around the westcoast of Canada. After we picked up our car for the trip, we went to the hotel. When we arrived at the hotel it was already dark, so we went to bed ear…

The next day was going to be the last before we had to "work"... (the school brought us to Canada to work for a couple of hours at the No-Dig show... that's what I call a deal!), so I had the chance to walk by Toronto downtown. It was cold, but not unbearably cold, it reminded me of January in Chih…

She said our ship would still be leaving on time but we wouldn't be transferred to …

I was sort of ... no, I was nervous meeting up with a total stranger from Travbuddy.  Never having met a 'cyber-friend' this Travbuddy Met-Up was 'virgin territory' for me.  Dan and I looked through a magazine waiting for Bill to arrive at Starbucks ... Bill said he would be wea…

So I recently moved to Ottawa due to this whole "following-my-career-dreams" thing. I figured better to move to Ottawa and start my life here while waiting on this job, than to start it in Toronto, and then have to move everything here. And while I still badly want that job, I am going insane here!…
