Canada is amazing, and our prairie hometown of Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, is beautiful. In addition to wide open spaces and smiling faces, we have some of the best sunsets in the world, and unlike those tropical sunsets which are indeed stunning, our sunsets are equally dramatic, but last for hours in the summer evenings which also extend long into the night, as we are the land of the midnight sun. The prairie people are amazing and enduring as well, always exceptionally generous and ready to lend a helping hand; they are strong, down to earth people, and are some of the best musicians in the country. That strength of character and sense of community is undoubtedly attributed to the harsh winters we have learned to live with and survive together, where temperatures can dip to 50 degrees below Celsius, a concept impossible to describe to one who has never experienced it. We find it hugely entertaining when describing to people from warmer climates that we have to actually plug in our cars to get them to start in the winter, or that we just need to put our beer outside for minutes to get it ice cold. We have lived here for a lifetime, and proudly say we are from the Canada renowned world-wide for its beauty but also its extreme coldness. However, having said that, we are equally thrilled to now be in a position to be able to leave behind the five month winter for warmer temperatures and outdoor adventures, for at this moment, as I am writing blog just before our departure, the temperature is a balmy forty five degrees below zero, and the idea of soon basking on a beach in plus thirty temperatures is just awesome.
And so another Dreamchasers adventure begins, as we take off again for our preferred landing destination, Bangkok, Thailand, where people-watching is the preferred past time, and the streets are alive with music, helping us ease through our jet lag and get set for whatever adventures await us.
