We don't have a toad

Those of you who own motorhomes will know what I'm talking about. Those of you who don't own a motorhome probably need an explanation. You're probably thinking "well, I don't have any reptiles either"!

The Grand Canyon

I saw the picture Kevin put up yesterday and it got me thinking! Do you have a "Bucket List" or a list of places that you must see before you die? Well the Grand Canyon was one of those places that we HAD to see.

The snow is almost gone here!

We went for a nice walk today along part of the Rideau Trail system here in Ontario.

Do you know what an actuary is?

Our son has decided he'd like to be an actuary.

When he brought this up, I didn't know what to think because although I had heard the term before, I didn't really know what an actuary is. Or how you become one. Or what an actuary does.

Where to park up!

A lot of people have asked us in our travels, where do you find somewhere free to park overnight and feel safe.  We don't seem to have much trouble with this, because we always find somewhere, it may not always be our ideal spot and sometimes it isn't for free.

Blog journal updates now in the evening

I think from now on we're going to go back to our old habit of making new blog journal posts in the late evening. It's much easier to remember all of the days activities while it's still fresh in your mind.

Thank you for following our blog every day!

Writing a post when you are not travelling is much harder than it seems. You want to keep things interesting which is much easier when you are travelling each day…you have a different thing to talk about as each day is different.

Wildlife

Here we are living in the city of Kingston and what do we see outside the kitchen window two nights ago? A raccoon...he sure looked pretty cute! Kevin took Whiskey out for a walk last night and saw another one peeking his head out from a culvert and found out from talking to another dog walker that there is a whole family of them living in this culvert under the driveway of the house across the street.

I Have a Cold

Yesterday I started getting the sniffles and sneezing a little bit.

NASCAR racing

I used to be a big Nascar race fan, back in the late 90's when Rusty Wallace and Dale Earnhardt Sr. were racing. The guys I worked with

Changing the oil

Well, it's warmed up outside, so I think I'll get out there and change the oil in our little car today. Supposed to go up to 2C (36F) so that's not bad for mid January. I already bought the oil on sale at Walmart a

Ecuador

We're thinking we might like to spend a winter in Ecuador.

Boondocking near cities

Why don’t cities make several areas throughout their municipality for boondocking? Instead they actually make it difficult in some cities with restrictions to overnight parking.

Travel to different places

In Canada, most people want to take a vacation south at some point during the winter. The cheapest places to go, from just about anywhere in Canada are Cuba, Mexico, and Dominican Republic. In fact, we have been to all three of these places as warmer destinations to get away from cold Canadian winters.
