Welcome to 2.0

Welcome new friends and old.




As many of you know when I travel I like to write a little blog. It helps friends and family back home keep up with our adventures, helps me to hold on to memories to enjoy later and it gives me a way to reflect on my day.


I had a blog before. But apparently I travel too much because I hit the post limit for it. My choices where to make a new blog or stop travelling. Clearly I went with the first option, because there was no way I am going to stop anytime soon.


So with that I hope you will enjoy your time reading out what I have been up too and I can’t wait to tell you all about it.

I am grateful to have found a fun skirt at one of the stops. Emma was grateful for some Diet Coke. Upon reaching Jaipur, Bhanu surprised us with a fantastic BBQ lunch.

For example Crocs run around $35 at home. Here they are around 2100 rupee, whic...

  07/23 - Going to Gagetown We packed up camp this morning and began the drive back to New Brunswick. A stop at Tim Hortons to fuel the passengers and we were on the road! We made a quick stop at the “welcome” centre at the border of NS and NB. Our Baby Trailer tends to attract attention anywhere we go. Especially when we part with “the big kids”. We stopped at one final historic site in NS.  This time we learned about a vibrant Acadian community at Beaubassin. While it has not be excavated or reconstructed, there were information panels explaining the importance of this trading space, the value of the farming techniques employed and the tragedy of the Deportation (again). Emma refueled here, soaking up some vitamin D. Mama was pretty excited about our next stop! I found a good looking soldier to kidnap for 24 hours! we made our way to the historic district of Fredericton and had a walk-around. Cameron steered us to a hand crafted ice cream shop. It was fabulous, but beware …o...
