Background: A land of vast distances and rich natural resources, Canada became a self-governing dominion in 1867 while retaining ties to the British crown. Economically and technologically the nation has developed in parallel with the US, its neighbor to the south across an unfortified border. Canada's paramount political problem is meeting public demands for quality improvements in health care and education services after a decade of budget cuts. The issue of reconciling Quebec's francophone heritage with the majority anglophone Canadian population has moved to the back burner in recent years; support for separatism abated after the Quebec government's referendum on independence failed to pass in October of 1995.

Hi everyone, today's journal entry is a simple update. Graduation is now completed and we are taking care of the not so fun part of our forthcoming adventure. The details--packing and paperwork. I have applied for an international driver's license and have begun to take care of some of the insurance issues. In order to get an international driver's license you must apply through your local CAA office. It costs $15 and you will need two passport photos. The insurance for our family will cost $1040 for $2 million emergency medical and life insurance for the ten months. If you want [View Full Entry]

The Adventure Begins

North America » Canada » Saskatchewan » Eastend

I guess it is now official. I have accepted a job in Nuevo Arenal, Costa Rica. I will be working for a Canadian woman living there who requires a private teacher for her son who is in the 8th grade. We have purchased our tickets and are leaving to San Jose, Costa Rica on August 28th from Chicago. I am sure you might be wondering...Why Chicago? The answer is simple $$$. Return tickets from Chicago/San Jose $389 total per person. The ticket is good for one year from departure. The price is great! What about getting to Chicago? Amtrack from Williston, [View Full Entry]

First post

North America » Canada » Saskatchewan » Saskatoon

Hi, I am going to do a preliminary blog entry to get comfortable with this blogging thing. Being on a budget I tried to find the cheapest flight to London. I found that there are charters flying out of Calgary that were around $500 cheaper than any flight out of Saskatoon. So my European adventure will begin by driving to Calgary. I will drive there probably on June 15th. First post. Over and out. [View Full Entry]

Sleeping Giant, Neeeeepawa, and Saskatoonie

North America » Canada » Saskatchewan » Saskatoon

May 25 Blogging on the go! I LOVE IT!!! All of the following was written while driving to our yet to be determined, next stop near Winnipeg. We are currently somewhere between Dryden and Kenora. With only one day down, it was an early morning on the 23rd so we could get some more kilometers between us and the Bay. With Cochrane behind us and emma at the wheel, we were on our way. We stopped in Moonbeam to take a picture and as we were were taking the last one, a car honks at us. At first I thought it [View Full Entry]

Unterwegs mit Auto

North America » Canada » Saskatchewan » Regina

Lake Superior
Auf der Fahrt dem See entlang immer wieder eine solche Aussicht genossen...

Schlussendlich hat sich mein Onkel Fränz anerboten, das Auto auf seinen Namen zu registrieren. Blieb nur noch, ein passendes Gefährt zu finden. Schlussendlich wurden nicht wir, sondern der Garagist von Fränz fündig. Es ist ein Mazda. Letzten Freitag ging es dann sehr schnell, am Morgen das Auto ein erstes mal sehen, dann die Versicherung abschliessen und registrieren/Nummer abholen. So geht das. Am Samstag (21.4.) fuhr ich dann von Rochester los mit Ziel Ottawa. Da traf ich Fränzi wieder, welche ich in Toronto kennengelernt habe. Sie hat 3 Monate in Vancouver verbracht und eine Sprachschul [View Full Entry]

We arrived!

Our Full Journey Debra Scholer This is the final blog... and I'm sad to finish this all off but now it's back to reality! For those that have asked if I'm going to keep up the blog.... probably not as life will now return to normal and I don't think it will be all that exciting to write about! After a trip like this, it sure makes you realize what a great place Canada is to live. Everyone we met, many of whom had been to Canada or really wanted to go, had nothing but great things to say about our [View Full Entry]

Home again

North America » Canada » Saskatchewan » Regina

After a 29 hour journey I arrived in Regina last night @ 8pm...The city looked lovely with street lights on the snow... and my house was quite inviting!! I slept very well when I was finally horizontal but suspect the 12hour time change may take some adjustment. My adventure was wonderful !! Look forward to sharing more stories with you in the near future. [View Full Entry]

A week more of winter!

North America » Canada » Saskatchewan

I know my timing could be better. I seem to end up leaving the country for warmer regions just as winter's worst has passed. But hey, I worked a couple months on a drilling rig and I'm spending that hard earnt money in the good ol' land of Australia. I was working up in Alberta near Red Deer so it sure was costing me money to make money. Hotels, food, gasoline, and all that junk was adding up to a fortune. Luckily the pay on the rigs is uncomparable and I saved up enough that I won't have to work for [View Full Entry]
