This hike is over 2 days. The first hike was on May 14th and the 2nd part was on May 28th. The first day I hiked with my friend Danielle Takacs. We met up at Jolley Cut and took one of our cars to the Devil's Punchbowl. The area does look like a punchbowl but I am not certain why would it be considered a Devil's punchbowl. Anyway we took a short blue marked side trail down the punchbowl to meetup with the Bruce Trail. The hike was fairly hilly and we went up and down the escarpment. We had some good views of the city of Hamilton and Stoney Creek as we walked along. Danielle hasn't hiked in a while so we were going at slightly slower pace than I usually do. We saw some ... read more

Well this comes to the end of our trip. We had a great time and glad to be home. Took a lot of pictures which will be my next project, and get some of the better ones posted and printed. Should we have stayed a bit longer yes we could have, but I wanted to spend some time, before heading back to work and enjoy what we have here, cause once it's back to work, and winter coming time will be in short supply. Tom has four provinces left to see I have five, and he is already saving for a R-Pod trailer so we can hit the road and bring our bed with us. Hope everyone enjoyed this blog, with its technical difficulties and will be sure to do a better job on the next ... read more

We are home. It funny how much you yearn for home when you've been away for so long. Leading up to a trip you can't wait to go. Hotels, restaurant, adventures everyday. But after a while, in our case about 20 days, you're sick of restaurant food and just want your usual. You're sick of hotels, and just want you home. You're a little weary of adventure, and just want routine. That is where we are now, at home: the best hotel in the world. The trip was amazing, with excellent food, fun adventure and a good relaxation. We decided that we would end this trip with a final blog telling you all our favourite and least favourite things about the trip. Think of it as a top ten and bottom ten. A best and worst. ... read more

When I was in my third year of university, living in Italy with my nonna, she bought me an agenda. It was beautiful; it was leather and compact and I still have it and use it today. In the back of that agenda, I made a list. I called it my "Life List". I started to make a list of all the things that I dreamed about doing in my life. I soon noticed that scattered throughout the list were all the different places I dreamed of visiting. Oftentimes today, (thanks mostly to Jack Nicholson and Robin Williams, I think), a list such as mine is referred to as a bucket list; I still prefer to call mine my Life List. I think of it more as a list of things to do while I am ... read more
