Camping Vacation

Well Joy and I are just about all packed (just waiting for a few more clothes in the dryer). Tomorrow we start our 10 night camping trip along Lake Erie and Huron. And to go along with the camping I just bought a new bike today (yes we are taking our bikes with us).

This is just a short message to mark the start of the trip, which will begin at Long Point. George and Carolyn will be joining us at our next stop, Rondeau, for Friday through Sunday. Pictures and all will follow, but probably not until June.

Oh, and in case you were concerned, we did make reservations at all the parks (we did it this morning).

So Long Arizona

Well I'm currently on the verge of boarding my plane back home. This is a bitter-sweet departure as it is highly likely to be the last trip here ever (for this client at least). You'd think I'd be happy to be finally rid of this place, however it did serve as my home for the better part of last year. I have to put out thanks and appreciation for the friends I made here. And a special kudos to Lacey, if you weren't here I don't know that I would have been able to manage the long stay here. :) I hope you find your escape soon.

Farewell Arizona!

Brain Age

So I picked up the Brain Age software for my DS yesterday (at the discount price of $20). On first startup I was ranked a DS Brain Age of 56. :( Not very good, eh? Well this morning I started it up, did a little of the days training, and did the Brain Age Check (i.e. test) and today's score was 41. Still not the ideal 20 (lowest Brain Age you can get), but moving in the right direction.

For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, you can find out more here.

T-Minus One Week

So I've now been here in AZ since Sunday, and have but a week until I'll be back home. Unfortunately a week is still a long time. :( The good news about the next week, is that when I return I have two weeks off (19th through June 2nd) and Joy officially moves in. :)

So what are we doing to mark this occasion? Well we have planned 10 days of camping in 5 different provincial parks--not including the long-weekend on Wightland Acres. We'll be starting out in Niagara at Long Point on the 24th and ending the following Saturday at Point Farms, with stops at Rondeau, Wheatley, and The Pinery (2 nights at each). I'm really looking forward to the trip, vacation, and being home. :D

In the AZ

Well just so you are all sure I made it here safely, I arrived here yesterday at 10:15 PM EDT. So far so good, it is quite a bit warmer here than there. And it seems that the air conditioning isn't working at 100%...well actually it is going 100% of the time, but it isn't much cooler for it. I suppose no one before me noticed, or bothered to let the maintenance people know. ;)

Well I'm just about to head out for dinner, but before I do I thought I'd post a couple pictures from George and my walk through Victoria Park two weekends ago.

Back and Gone Again

Well I know it has been a very long time since my last post. And as a matter of fact this post will have something in common with my previous. What is it you ask? Well I'm off to Arizona for 12 days (I'll be back on the 18th). It is a nice and short trip so that is very nice--however it is yet another trip. The good news is that after this there should be much of any travel for quite some time. :)

Hopefully while I'm there I'll take the time to do some posting (highly likely due to the smaller number of distractions there). I have a bunch of photos I took with George during a visit to Victoria Park, so hopefully I get them posted either before I leave or shortly after arriving in Arizona.
