The flight was really, really long but otherwise good. There were no delays, everything went smoothly. It was just really, really long. My bum was sore and I couldn’t seem to find a comfortable position when I found out we … Continue reading
Embarrassingly, we didn’t know* that we needed visas to travel to Australia. A few tense moments as we applied online for them at absolutely the last possible minute…we were both approved. Good thing, because we couldn’t board the flight to Vancouver without ’em.
*the travel agent who booked our tickets was also apparently unaware of the visa requirement
Long time no talk. And I suppose that since “Living Our Dream” reverted back to the daily grind about a year ago now, it’s pretty safe to say this blog is now defunct.
But maybe I’ll squeeze in another post or two.
It’s been a tough decision (maybe we were in denial for the better part of the summer), but we’re going to be selling Water Music.
Between work, the family cottage, other peoples’ cottages, music festivals and road trips we’ve been out on the boat ONE time this entire summer. One time.
She carried us safely and comfortably all the way from Kingston, Ontario to the British Virgin Islands (and back again!), but Water Music is too cool a boat to sit around unused in her slip. So, sad for us though it may be, it’s time to find her new, more attentive owners.

Phill’s just about ready to switch out his flip-flops for his work boots. He’ll be back in the truck on Monday, August 12th. Thanks to everyone who saved up their HVAC work this summer so he can hit the ground … Continue reading

As I type, we’re about six hours away from Ottawa! We’re excited to get home, but we were making such good time, we decided to dig in our heels a bit in Montebello, where we stayed two nights, before returning … Continue reading

I was joking when I said that a couple of days ago, but after the temperature went down to 10°C last night, I think I’m serious. We had to dig out clothes we haven’t seen since October, and, (*cringe*),…socks. We … Continue reading

After our enexpected delay in Saint-Ours, there was no way we were going to make it to Montréal today with both the wind and current against us, so Canada’s second largest city is going to have to wait, and it’ll … Continue reading
There was a nasty storm yesterday afternoon that’s knocked out the power at our last lock in the Richelieu River.
We had arrived yesterday with about 45 minutes to spare before the lock closed for the night only to find it already shut down from the power outage. So here we still sit, hoping for the lock to re-open sometime today.
It’s funny, ’cause yesterday morning we were talking about how nice it would be to have a rest – the kind where you can just flop out on the couch and read a book all day without the pressure of constantly being on the move or of seeing the sights in a town you may not revisit in the foreseeable future.
We got what we asked for, I guess. We were both flopped out reading for the better part of the morning, but now we’re bored and ready to get moving again.
