Well folks we finally made it out of Ontario (in case you didn't get that from the title). It was long, it was strenuous, it was worth it. The hell with everyone saying you should cut through the states because it's faster, since when was a road trip about getting

Day 2 of the Lunchbox Shuttle to Vancouver

Well believe it or not we were awake on time but somehow still got off to a slow start. The first bad sign was when I broke the elevator. I don't fully believe it was my fault but since I did push the button to take us to the wrong floor I guess I must shoulder some of the blame. I've never seriously considered the idea of

The S & S Lunchbox Shuttle - Destination: Vancouver - Day 1

As some of you may know our departure time was 6am, we wanted to start the trip with optimistic goals. But like most people, we had to face reality

Young as F#@%... (Month of Your Life)

 My favourite month of the year is AUGUST. In August I will be in my late 50's...

What is your favourite month of the year? Got it? Good, now don't forget.

Being from Canada, and more vaguely the Northern Hemisphere, my favourite month comes around every summer. I'm sure most who live

Happy Bunny Hunting

     Now that it's officially Easter weekend it's time to revisit some old family traditions. For me that means traveling out to Eastern Ontario to Martintown. If you've heard of it that's because you either know myself or my cousins personally, or you lived there. Either way, there's not many people who are familiar with this VERY tiny corner of Ontario. As a test I encourage anyone who knows

A St. Patrick Hangover

     With another St. Patrick's Day passed (out) the stories will be told and the foggy memories will be enjoyed. After all the mumbling and stumbling, boozing and smoozing, and straight up green anarchy, I'm sure many people awoke the next afternoon not feeling so lively. Courtesy of Dionysus,

Travel NOW!!!

I figure since this blog began with traveling I should get back to that theme somewhat. Most people always think, and talk about where they want to travel next, but if that's the question you keep asking then most likely it will never happen. It's the same as thinking about what you would do if

SUBconscious Travel pt. 1

It's become part of the daily routine. Quickly gather whatever I need for the particular outing, stuff it in my bag and race out the door hoping I haven't forgotten anything. Race down the street and dodge traffic as I cross the street to Old Mill subway station. There have been some close calls

It's Been Awhile

Not just a great song by Staind featuring Fred Durst. I know, many people want to curse me for even using the name "Fred Durst" and the word "great" in the same sentence. Too bad, a good song is a good song. Anyway, it has been a while since I've posted a blog and

Last Day in Ireland

     Before the Sexually Deranged Cat Wrangler has a chance to impose more rules upon us we get up early and hit the road. First step to getting to Slaehead: back out of the parking space. Brandi had a few problems with this. After the 3rd attempt we finally mount

Irish Road Trip

     The day starts with a bit of confusion on Brandi's part. Which side does the car operate from? And the transmission may take a small beating, but we got full coverage so let's F this mother up. While it provided me with a bit of a laugh Uncle Rob took the first shift behind the wheel, although I did catch him on the wrong side

Dublin

At last we arrive at the hostel where I can properly battle this hangover with water and sleep. NOT!!! We get there and we're forced to wait 7 hours before we can check into our room, "ASSHOLES"
