Back in Altona. Trying to get organized and packed. I've managed to stuff everything in my backpack, but I'll probably take all of it out and re-pack it about 10 times before tomorrow morning. The countdown that me and Tav set at the beginning of January has counted down from 90ish days to 23 hours and 53 minutes (until take-off). Leaving Altona around 10 tomorrow morning and won't be back until the evening of May 28!... read more

Hello all, As you can see, I have set up a blog to give you a little insight into my adventure. I leave for the Philippines in exactly a week and with luggage strewn everywhere and random boxes and candies bought for pasulubong (gifts), the trip is becoming more and more of a reality. With the stress of exams, I think that I forgot exactly what my practicum will mean. It's interesting because it's related to the quote that I put up on here. I'm not just going there for my practicum, or for a vacation, or really anything like that. In a way I really think my practicum will mean a challenge for me. It will test my ability to be on my own in a whole different country. In Canada, we just seem to ... read more

First blog North America » Canada » Manitoba » Brandon By Scott KerryApril 7th 2007Hello everyone, This is our very first blog on this site. We tried using a myspace page but it didn't really fit our needs. We aren't interested in sharing all our favorite songs, books, movies and so on. We just wanted an easy to use page to share our travel experiences with our friends and family. I think this place will fit much better. I will take some time and upload some pictures and write some blogs from our recent trip to New York and also my trip to Whitehorse. Stay tuned, Scott... read more

So we are on the home stretch... Only 9 more sleeps until we leave. It has become my job (Lindsay) to learn how to use this thing as James is out working on a frozen lake. I was the lucky one and got to stay in town and work out all the the remaining things for the trip. It seems like there are a million things left to do and yet nothing that I can do right now. the tax e-filing system is down here in Canada and has significantly restricted our funds leading up to our departure date and so some things have been put on hold until all paychecks are in (including getting travellers checks and the like). We are taking our last doses of vaccinations this week. Dukoral may prove to be a ... read more

After receiving half a foot of snow in Manitoba, My mom and I are very excited to get to Argentina. Although we are dreading the 20 hours of travel time between Winnipeg and Buenos Aires, the warm air at the end will be enough of a reward. For now, we're busy taking down Christmas trees, organizing bill payments, and making lists. Well, Wendy is making lists, and I'm trying to do what they say. We hope to keep this page fairly updated, and are excited to hear comments from everyone. So keep checking, and keep in touch!! Happy New Year! ... read more
