CANADA North America » Canada » New Brunswick By Dwight BrendaMay 3rd 2007 HELLO TO ALL IN GEORGIA, WE ARE NOW IN CANADA. GOING THRU CUSTOMS WAS INTERESTING.

As my first entry, I have to say that the anticipation of going on my dream excursion to the Mediterranean is getting intense. I have been working hard at work and am feeling a desire to turn it all off. That time is about to happen very shortly. I cannot wait! My mom is flying in tomorrow at 3:00 pm in Calgary. It will be nice to see her and feel the excitement together. I guess I better tidy up the house a bit. :-) 2 more sleeps... then off to Athens on my newest adventure... ... read more

It was so nice to be leaving the clouds behind and heading towards the beaches and beauty of the island! We meandered through Saltspring, Galiano, Ganges & San Juan and the scenery was just breathtaking. The emerald green sea set again the blue skies and island coastline bursting with green and trees and pretty little coastal houses! It was spectacular and I was so glad I had left all of that behind me! ... read more

After an emotional and tiring pusuit of happiness I arrived in beautiful Victoria! The first thing I did was grab an ice cold beer and endulged in doing absolutely nothing! I walked, I sketched, I listened to some blissfully sweet music and enjoyed Victoria by both day and night! My plans were to stay there for 4 days however I struck gold when I met some cool English peeps who were driving to Tofino the following day!... read more
