We're off

[vaneramos]

I had intended to catch up on reading LJ the past few days, but hardly had a minute to spare with getting ready for the trip. By last night my concentration was shot, and I spent 45 minutes obsessing over a lost bottle of camp soap.

But I survived. Apart from packing the cooler, a shower for me, and one last minute errand, we're ready to go. The trip morphed slightly after my aunt in Nova Scotia invited us to stay at her cabin, so I cancelled the reservations at Kejimkujik National Park. I had a hard time booking a campsite near Quebec City; one individual hung up when I said, "Parlez-vous anglais?"

But now it is done. I spent Sunday evening printing maps, directions and information, about 120 pages in a three-ring binder; it will make a nice memento. Marian, as copilot, will gain some directional experience.

Have fun and stay cool.

Holy cow! Where did you come from? :-)

It will be great to connect with you more often.

Surprise! There's no escape! :-)

I love reading about your adevntures with your daughters. While I am in no hurry, I am looking forward to the time when Jude is old enough to serve as co-pilot, and more importantly, co-conspirator!

You continually strike me as a kind, compassionate, and understanding father.

It takes much concentration to be so, and believe me, it's a learning experience. I was not nearly as patient when the girls were Jude's age.

smooches and hugs!

Have fun, Van...I know you will!

I did! And it would have been fun to have you along for some of those birdwatching experiences.

I'm sure I would have LOVED it :-)

I can't wait to come and see what you've written about it and view the photos you took, but I'm going to have to wait a bit as things are a little scattered right now.
