Anyway I,ll try and post a few photos of our adventure.

Sounds like a great time .... and it's always no contest with those cute and cuddly bears around Seems like you guys are paying more for gas than we are; I got it for $1.14 a litre in Gananoque yesterday. But the price is up and down And there's nothing like fishing to relax you This year I decided to have a "staycation" ... I guess that's the new buzz word for having a holiday at home .... I'm trying to enjoy Kingston as a tourist rather than a resident, and it's not too bad .... went to the Military Communications Museum the other day (CFB Kinston is the home of the Canadian Signals Regiment) and it was great. And I will take my time and do other local things .... Fishing, of course, manily Bass and Lake Trout .... I'll take in a Blue Jays game or two .... hopefully the Yankees will be in town (have to check the schedule) ... lots of things to do right here around home (well, within a 300 km radius) .... but I envy you your trip to the north .... beautiful country up there .... enjoy, look forward to seeing the pics

Re: Holidays
Went to Egypt in February, wouldn't go back in a hurry unless it was a freebie or very, very cheap. Then had a brilliant week in Hisaronu, Turkey beginning of July. That was the first holiday in 20 odd years that we had on our own without any kids. Have booked a fortnight in Goa for next Feb, with the kids. I know i'm been greedy but have got a week of in September and wish i was going away, but think that is wishful thinking.

Re: Holidays
I've been to Centerparcs in Cumbria.
It's the third time we've been and we always have a good time.

Re: Holidays
Well off we went and drove just over 700 miles north on the first day to Dawson Creek, the only four legged creature we saw was a lonely deer somewhere around Prince George. Dawson Creek is mile zero of the Alaska Highway, I have put a photo of me in my Stanley shirt at the marker on "photo albums" but don,t have a clue how to add it to this post. Help someone. I have more photos but can,t download them.

Re: Holidays
Sorry, still don,t know how to add photo,s. Off to Cuba in a couple of weeks, first time to that part of the world. They say it,s a very poor country and I see they,ve just had another dumb hurricane pass through there. Maybe I should pack my tent with me? Reports say to take things like pencils and books to give to the kids, sounds different. Any advice?
