Planes, trains and automobiles!
I thought it would be fun to keep a record of all the different modes of transportation we’ve used to get us around the world. Unfortunately, hot air balloon is not going to be one of them, I don’t think. But here’s the ones that we have used…I’ll update this as we go… Honda Civic from our house to Mississauga, and then the airport Air Canada Embraer 175 from Toronto to Newark Minivan shuttle from Newark airport to Madison Hotel NJ Transit commuter train from Madison Hotel (Convent station) to Madison station Mini Cooper from Dad’s place back and forth — Read the Rest…

Madison
I’ve visited Madison before many times of course, and usually I’m driving. So I know the area well. Therefore, when the shuttle driver took the second wrong turn while trying to follow the GPS directions to the hotel, I was able to suggest a more fruitful direction. By that point, Barbara and I were so relieved to be near the end of our very, very long day (extra long for me, having had no sleep the night before), that we didn’t really care if the driver took longer to get where we’re going. The flight from Toronto had been smooth, — Read the Rest…
Balloons
My mom has posted something about balloons but this is the full story. At the Newark airport there were some balloons so me and Jill wanted them. We jumped and jumped but we could reach them. But this dude came and grabbed them for us! I love balloons so I took them on the shuttle ride (I lost the feeling in my arm from holding them). But after that I got the balloons into the hotel room and they are still there right now.

Breakfast in NJ
Now I’m having breakfast in an awesome family style diner. The train ride out here was really fun! The bell of the train was the same as the Go Train in Toronto! (I like the sound of the bell) There was an “adventure” on the way to the train station. My mom forgot that her wallet was in the hotel, so my dad ran back to the hotel while we (as in me, Jill and my mom) bought the tickets. After almost 15 minutes the train started to come closer and started ringing as my dad is running across the — Read the Rest…

First day, first passport stamp :)
(Imagine a photo of a US Immigration stamp with March 29 on it…pics to come) So, we’re in “Joisey”. Technically it’s the second stop of our trip – our first was Mississauga! Getting out of the house was a bit of a challenge, but we made it. That’s due in great part to our wonderful family. Nana and Grandpa did a lot: packing, running errands, playing host to two bouncing-off-the-walls 10 year olds. Auntie Sherri, Uncle Kevin and Seb hosted a Bon Voyage BBQ, which turned into an extended babysitting session as Julian and I worked with Dad’s timely help, — Read the Rest…
