Bonjour tout le monde, Je repars déjà demain matin. Je suis un peu stressée parce que tout s'est décidé très vite. Je retourne en Asie du Sud-Est, mais cette fois je visiterai le Laos, le Cambodge et finalement la Thaïlande à nouveau. Oh et je passerai une journée à San Francisco sur le chemin du retour! J'ai toujours voulu visiter San Francisco! Je devrais arriver samedi soir (matin pour vous) en Thaïlande. Je vous redonne des nouvelles rendue là-bas! À bientôt! Lucie-Maude... read more

As promised, I am now blogging about previous adventures. My departure from Ontario was abrupt in some ways, but in other ways not really. You see I was waiting on a note from my doctor and proof of medical insurance before I could book anything. So I was ready to go, but wasn't allowed to yet. The last e-mail that I needed came in on March 26th and that very day I booked my plane ticket to leave on the 28th. I arrived on Saturday night in Vancouver. I stayed at my good friend, Janet's house. She had a new two month old daughter, whom I got to meet for the first time. She looks just like her mom. On Sunday I went to my old home church (from when I was in Bible College). The ... read more

To summon up an image of California in one’s mind is to bring forth a montage of sun-dappled bike paths criss-crossed with bikers, runners and power-walkers with Bonsai dogs in their purses. Twinned with the possibility of bumping into a celebrity and finding meaning and purpose of life. A relentless collage of health and unattainable happiness. The day in which we landed was far from such. LAX was dreary and the sun was fighting through the thick slab of cloud to no avail. I am rushing ahead though. There’s still Fiji. Our flight from Auckland to LA when booked was a direct flight. Over the months it metamorphosed into a flight which stopped in Fiji then continued onto LA. We had no idea of such an undertaking until we boarded the flight. Good ole Air ... read more

Hello all!!! well the day is FINALLY upon us and it has been going so slowly. Our flights leave at 6:55pm and when you wake up, due to excitement, at 6:00am, it makes for a long day of waiting. Our bags are packed, we have done some last minute running around and now we wait....and wait.....and still wait. The anticipation is what makes it so exciting when we finally start our journey but it is also quite painful. We did our last weigh in and after cutting down all the things I wanted to bring on the trip to the things I only need for the trip my pack (with water) will weigh about 38 pounds and my Mom 35 pounds. Doesn't seem like that much until you add what we currently weigh and well...it makes ... read more

. After many wonderful days, we were woken this morning by the sound of rain on the roof of the cabin - not good when it is 120 yards to the bathroom! Thankfully, by the time we had packed the truck and were ready to go the sun was actually shining… Of course, this was nearly noon as we spent some time in the club-house (the only source of internet) catching up on the blog updates, answering e-mail, booking tickets and checking the weather!! Our plan for the day - head towards Canada via the nearest Wal-Mart.
