Saying goodbye in the drop off lane at the airport is the WORST. I was glad Neve left heading towards something she was excited about; I think that makes leaving and sending someone off easier. And, even though every day on this trip is a new experience, having something to distract me the day she…
Two weeks flew by and before we knew it we were picking Neve up in Paris. She arrived on a Saturday, but staying in Paris over a weekend in the summer (the weekend before school is back in) is crazy expensive. So, we stuffed Neve and her luggage into our Reneaut Elf (she’s used to…
We bid adieu to England and caught the Eurostar from St. Pancras Station in London to Paris. But, visiting Paris had to wait, we had a date with history. Our car rental pickup (a Reneault Elf) was right at the station where we got off the train, so we headed north to Amiens to meet…
The time came to leave London and head to a more rural England, with a few smaller cities along the way. We had reserved a rental car back in March and it was a good thing we did. A one week rental was only $239 CAD a few months ago, while the day we left…
This is a long post, probably with more detail than most want to read. The purpose of this blog is two fold: to serve as a way to update people on our travels, but also as a travel journal for us. So, read if you choose, or just scroll for pics. The flight from Toronto…

The house is ready. Our tenants move in tomorrow and we’re officially homeless until next June. We depart from Toronto in a week, so for the next 7 nights we are couch surfing. Friends of ours are keeping our cats while we’re away, so our first stay will be with them. We’re hoping for a…
“Part of the fun is planning and preparation.” I read this on a blog post early in the planning process (one of the million I’ve poured over), and I would have agreed wholeheartedly if you’d asked me up to a month ago. Leisurely surfing the internet researching places we want to experience, searching for flights,…
We’ll be spending about a month in India after we finish in Nepal. We’ve decided to travel overland to Darjeeling, India from Katmandu. There are a couple of reasons for this decision. To fly to Darjeeling, we’d have to fly to New Delhi first and then take another flight to Darjeeling. After Darjeeling we would…
So, the Type A planning part of my brain has been working for the last 5 years trying to think of every possible detail. What have I learned? It is impossible to think of everything. What I do know is that I’m prepared for the moment I realize I have forgotten something monumental. Some of…
