5 more sleeps!


It has been 1 year, 2 months and 5 days since my last blog. Apparently I took the periodical part of my reflections seriously.

Anyhow, I have decided that my upcoming, 9 week cross Canada trip is reason enough to start the ole blog up again. Seeing my last attempt at a blog only lasted 3 months and 3 blogs, we'll see how it goes. I will try not to disappoint my 2 current followers.

On to my trip! Only 5 more sleeps and 3 working days left until I depart. I am feeling much more prepared now that I have totally packed and have even done a trial run fitting it all in my car. I was thinking last minute that I may need to invest in a car top carrier, but much to my surprise, I have managed to fit it all in my little VW Rabbit hatchback even with the parcel shelf still in its place! The only thing that will go in the back seat will be the cooler that plugs in to the lighter. I just hope I am not forgetting anything.

A few things that would put my mind at ease in the next few days would be the sale of my old car, that faithful old blue, and the immediate end to the postal strike. As my trip is a driving trip, it would be most helpful to have my drivers license. It was sent from Victoria on June 10 and is stuck somewhere waiting to be delivered.

So this is it. The activation of my dormant blog. Thank you for reading and stay tuned for more!
