About this blog

I have been employed in a high paced, high stress strategic planning role for the past 4 years. I recently received the opportunity to let that go and get some time to myself and get refocused and centred. We have often talked of going across Canada and taking in all the sites and sounds that this vast and wonderful country has to offer. We will take the time that we need, but I expect 6-8 weeks on the road will do us fine. We will drive across with our Nissan Sentra, carrier on top and expect to put many miles on the car. We will stay at camp grounds, motels and with friends and family. We never go anywhere without the dog and cat. They travel well and seem to enjoy it. (we left the cat home once, and well she never forgave us for that one) I does present some challenges, but we are up to them.
