Thelma & Louise Ride Again

Thought we better update the profile as we go in 5 days so we should know where we are going now. After nearly a four year absence we have reunited to go on another trip but more importantly to our bemused readers THE BLOG IS BACK.
We will be in the skies on 1st September and will be back in good old Grafton late 1st October. To a few people they will be relieved that we are not doing as much driving, but there is a slight downside to that - the week that we are driving is in Quebec so all the road signs are in french, but we will overcome. Thel has found a list of french road signs so she will be instructing Lou what the hell they mean. Thel just has to find the right sign, find the translation and tell Lou all in a millisecond so we don't crash.......no pressure!!
We feel confident this time that we are not having a practise pack, we are just going to pack a few things on Tuesday night. Don't we sound like seasoned travellers? I'm sure if we forget something there will be a Walgrens equivalent in Canada we just have to find their name. Did we tell you we LOVE Walgrens?
Anyway, hope you all enjoy our blog this time around, remember it isn't one sided, we love it when you all leave comments, it keeps us in touch with home because we do miss you all. Bon voyage!!!!

Bingo - found a nice place - The New York Plaza Hotel - we know fancy pancy last of the big spenders etc etc - but man was it cool - did we mention that at our next table was Barbie's husband (James Browland??? we think thats his name) Barbara Striesand that is .... so the place could have been full of famous people - but we don't know any.... breakfast was a treat and ... read more

Hello again - man this place is amazing.... Last night whilst walking to try our luck at Wicked lottery tickets again - we saw all of this camera equipment set up again and we thought ??? So went to check it out and it was filiming for a new tom selleck series Blue Bloods - we didn't see Tom - but guess what happened - walking accross through the cars just near the filmcrew and these two guys pull up and hang out the window and say - "hey - you all movie stars???" needless to say we collapsed on the ground laughing as did they as they drove away - some people are really good fun and so many have been helpful and friendly but these two guys broke us up !! so, we didn't ... read more

You need to read the Au revior from canada before this one....... Howdy from New York !!! so much has happened and we have only been here about 4 hours!! Left Looney Lilly this morning and tried to add the previous blog entry (you all have two to read today) and we had to cut and paste it because the travelblog was down yesterday and almost left all the stuff on her computer about Looney Lil!!! That would have been embarrasing ! Arrived at airport - sorry to leave Ottowa even as we were driving to the airport couldn't believe how pretty it is and how awesome the canal would be covered in ice in winter - may have to go back to see that one day... Little miss continental (airport check in person) was sooooooooooooooooo ... read more

Last day in Canada !!! Ottowa is another super gorgeous place - yesterdy was another blue sky day (we have been so lucky ) walked and walked yesterday even walked up about 400 steps - poor thel was knackered by the top - her back is stuffed..... First up we went to Parliament house and had a guided tour for 45 mins which was good - outside there were lots of reporters and if anyone was watching them - they would think that Lou was being interviewed - she asked them who was coming !! The opposition leader - too boring to wait for so off we went on our long walk - visited one of 5 museums and then needed feeding - so found some lunch and more squirrel feeding Lou wants one for a ... read more

Hi everyone, Thank you for the messages - we LOVE hearing from you all..

But there was no traffic ha ha ha Arrived at B & B and place is fab and only two blocks from the city centre - but.......... Lillian is a looney - completely bonkers - we have no words to describe it we just look at each other and try not to laugh - more on that after two more nights there ... read more

Being on the road is a great change to the tourist thing and we have been seeing some amazing views on each bend - we were in high skiing country for a while and the chalets etc were fairly impressive - as lou hasn't ever seen snow it is a bit hard to get your head around. Thel continues to navigate brilliantly although having some trouble with her left and right turns - because you have to take a wide right sort of turn to go left she keeps telling lou to go right - oh shit !! Went on a real adventure yesterday - went off the track and ended up finding this ferry from Hudson accross river and just decided to take it - was a magic blue sky day and the sun was ... read more
