Hello again! We are back with another installment from our traveling adventures! We returned late last night from a four day excursion to Ireland. Ireland is a very beautiful country with lots of greenery and wonderful rolling hills and countryside. We experienced all sorts of weather! It was quite cold, but we got some sunshine as well as rain and snow! We started our adventure at 3am on Tuesday morning when we hired a taxi to take us to Luton airport. Our flight departed at 6:35am and we arrived in Dublin an hour later. Once we made our way to the [View Full Entry]

Hi again everyone! Happy Thanksgiving to all of you at home; we wish we could be there to share in a fantastic turkey dinner! The two of us are doing well. We're busy with work, as usual, and counting down the days until our first half-term break which is in two weeks. Yesterday we ventured to Canterbury, a city in Kent in the south east of England. We began our day at 7:30am by grabbing a coffee and hopping on a train to London. From London we took a National Express coach bus to Canterbury, arriving in Canterbury just before 11:30am.

Hello again everyone! It's been awhile since we've posted any new updates so we thought we'd drop in to let you all know that everything is going well! It's been a month now since we came back to England. For the first few weeks we saw nothing but rain, but this past week the weather has been gorgeous! We took advantage of the sunshine today and went outside to take some pictures by the canal at the end of the road. There were plenty of ducks and swans basking in the sun! Work has been going fairly well. There are only [View Full Entry]

Hi again everyone! We have made it back to England safely and are now back in our house in Aylesbury. Overall our trip over the pond was pleasant. Our original flights back were suppose to be on Saturday night, leaving Toronto at 10:25pm. However, due to Zoom Airlines shutting down, we had to find new flights back. Thankfully we were able to book flights out of Buffalo, NY with United Airlines leaving shortly after 7pm. Mom and Ted drove us to Buffalo and we stopped for a fantastic lunch at the Olive Garden. The food was sooo good! Once we got [View Full Entry]

Hi again everyone! Sadly we are now in our last week before we fly back to England for one more year. Our five weeks at home have been very busy, filled with wedding planning and visiting as many people as possible, dividing our time between KW, Toronto and Stratford. We tried our best but unfortunately we just couldn't get around to see everyone. The good news is that we'll be back in April for two weeks and then we're moving home for good next July, five weeks before our wedding! (note: our wedding date is August 22, 2009...less than a year [View Full Entry]

Yesterday was a very eventful day! Our lovely friends threw us an engagement & welcome home party which our friends Jackie and Jeremy hosted at their new house in St. Mary's. The party was fantastic and it was great to see everyone who came out! Our entire wedding party was there, with the exception of two people who had other commitments. The food was great too! BBQ hamburgers, hot dogs, corn on the cob, salads and plenty of desserts! We ate, drank and socialized all afternoon and night! Later on in the evening we even managed to make it out to [View Full Entry]

Hi there everyone! Will and I are now officially back in Canada. We arrived on Friday night after spending a long 8.5 hours in the air plus an additional hour for a stopover in Montreal. But, overall the flight was pretty good! Surprisingly neither one of us slept for more than half an hour the entire time. We were kept awake by the movies that were playing as well as by sheer excitement! Our plans for the summer include doing as much wedding planning as possible so that it makes it easier to plan the rest from overseas! Hopefully we can [View Full Entry]

Today we hired a car with our friend Kathleen and went for a 2 hour road trip to Brighton which is on the south coast of England. The rain decided to hold off for the entire day and the sun chose to show it's face so we were very happy! Brighton is known for its Royal Pavilion which is a former Royal palace built in the early 1800s and is notable for Indian architecture. Brighton is also known for its long stretch of beach and the Brighton Pier. The pier is quite commercialized with a very carnival-like atmosphere. The pier is [View Full Entry]

This weekend we decided to hire a car and take off on a day trip with our friend Kathleen. Our first destination was the historic, Roman city of Bath. Bath is famous for its hot springs, Roman period baths, Medieval heritage and stately Georgian architecture. The drive to Bath took approximately 2 hours. We made our way to a car park and then wandered the streets and visited the Roman baths. The baths were built by the Romans about 2000 years ago and were later rediscovered by the Victorians. The baths are fueled by England's only mineral hot springs. The hot [View Full Entry]

Well, we just got back from a week of traveling with 44 students to Germany. We traveled with two other teachers, Ben and Kerrie, both of whom are from Australia. We survived five days of hearing "Are we there yet?", "How much longer?", "Can we put another film on?" (on the coach bus), "Where are we?", and "What's for dinner tonight?" It was a new experience since neither one of us has ever lead a trip before and we had a great time! We boarded the coach and left from the school at 6:30 am on Monday morning. After about 3 [View Full Entry]
