So, I think my last story was about Wednesday night. Let's see what else is to tell. Thursday we were supposed to go to HiFi with an entire group, but after waiting in line for half an hour without really approaching the entrance, we decided to go somewhere else. Since many people, including me, were dying to go to the washrooms :), we decided just to go to the club that was the nearest, which was Wiskey's. It was a pleasant surprise to find out it was Ladies night over there, so we girls could get in for free. The less pleasant side effect of this Ladies night (at least, I hope it just had to do with the fact that it was Ladies night, since next week I'll have to go there again ;)) was ... read more

Short version of events thus far since last entry: Wheelchairs, rickshaws, jagermeister, drunkeness, missing trains, missing shoes, baby attacks, sophisticated electronic thingamajigs, crazy insane homeless people, singing tunes really loud at bars when the music is *not* playing, shady individuals, hangovers, booze, minimal sleep, pancake breakfasts, "whoooooosh!", dragging an aussi up a flight of stairs to his bed while he pukes on me, university gals, potential insanity, cheap rum, injuries, tongue wreastling, ice paranoia, getting lost, 50 cent beers, meeting old friends, passing out, meat on sticks, incoming trees, bird poop, nearly dying and really really bad breath. Not in order of course. I'm also amazed how little money i'm spending while having so much fun! Well, that is a lie since I figure 50% of my planned budget is going towards getting myself ditzy. Seems ... read more

Well... we made it home. All of a sudden I have the patience to blog again. The trip was amazing. I feel very lucky to have been able to go on it. Having my family and friends be a part of it was very special.It was everything I had hoped. There were a few very important people missed but I know they were there in spirit. When we sadly caught the ferry off the Island we looked back and watched the boat move from the shore. Lots of very important things happened during this trip. My commitment to Tyson and Haley being one of the most important. We are now starting to look for a new place to live and getting ready to throw a party for all friends and family so we can celebrate our ... read more

Well, this is it. I am getting ready to head out on a two month trip through Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia and India. For those of you who know Stephanie, I will be traveling with her for those two months. I leave on February 9th and will be spending a day in Paris before meeting Stephanie in Bangkok. I will be spending 3 weeks in Thailand, 1 week in Cambodia, 1 week in Malaysia and 3 weeks in India. It is a lot of terrain to cover in 2 months but better a little terrain then non at all. Looking forward to seeing all of you upon my return. ... read more

Oyasuminasai! Je pars dans 4 jours, eh oui... comment je me sens? hum... je ne pourrais dire... des fois j'ai des moments d'excitation, de panique aussi... mais la plupart du temps, je suis au neutre... je ne réaliserai vraiment que je suis partie qu'arrivée là-bas j'imagine! J'ai maintenant une nouvelle caméra numérique, je ferai donc un test ici! La photo est celle de ma chambre... les murs sont blancs et tout est dans des boites!... read more

North America » Canada » Saskatchewan » Regina February 2nd 2006

I'm sure you can all understand me when I say that the last two months have been both dragging and rushing by. Checklists to create and finish, gear to research and purchase, itineraries to plan, insurance, work arrangements, moving, blah,blah,blah. It's has taken up so much real estate in my mind that it gets to the point that you want to say,"to hell with it lets go already!". Plans have changed so much since we started thinking about this that the only thing that we've decided on for sure is to remain flexible. We're rank amateurs at bicycle touring and most of our gear is untested so it's a virtual certainty that we will have some painful lessons to learn, but what better way to learn. Speaking of painful lessons, as most of you know Vicki ... read more
