Happy New Year to all our blog readers! After a fun Christmas we are busy getting ready to leave on Dec.30th for some adventure in Central America.We will start our trip touring the hot spots of Costa Rica for a few weeks and then visiting three different beach towns along the Costa Rican Pacific Coast. In early February we will travel to Belize and spend two weeks on one of our favourite islands - "Caye Caulker". We are also hoping to take a short trip into Guatemala to visit some of the famous sites there. We will be home by mid February to welcome our two new grandchildren!!! My goal is to send a blog each week. Hopefully you have a few minutes to check out what we are up to. Best wishes for 2013!... read more

I don’t know how many of you have ever been to Saskatchewan (again - Sas-KATCH-ewan, not Saska-CHEW-an), but Peter told me years ago that we would never, ever go. Not even to cross it off "the list". This is because his grandparents were from there, and they had had to drive that long, straight, road, back and forth, back and forth, year after year, to visit. And, while I’m completely entertained by long straight stretches with nothing in them but grass and the occasional cloud, it’s probably much more boring to 3 little boys, trapped in the car. But then! Friends moved there - and not to the thriving metropolis of Saskatoon, but to a little town an hour or so south, called Outlook (Google map http://goo.gl/maps/DtyrQ). So, despite the "never, ever going", we’ve been there ... read more

We woke up this morning to a beautiful prairie sunrise! Yes, it was a bit of an early awakening for two girls who didn't get to bed until after 2 am, but it was too exciting to miss it. Due to being off schedule, they served brunch instead of breakfast and lunch this morning. We shared a delicious omelet and crab eggs benedict around 10:30. Then we went back to bed and slept for another three hours! Feeling almost normal at this point. We are stopped at the moment in a small town, Melville, SK. We're supposed to be in Winnipeg around 9 pm tonight. Yes, I am writing this from the train! We’ve had a cell signal pretty consistently every time we’ve checked since leaving last night, but this is the first time I’ve tried ... read more
