on the road (again)

we're off! started our 9 day trek back to ontario and have spent it so far driving at a leisurely pace, seeing the sights, and soaking in all things canadian. it goes without saying, but this time around shit is a whole lot better. no grueling 10-hour driving days. no relying on the breeze to keep us cool (a/c is the most) and just a whole lot of other pluses.
update again in a couple of days and i will be sure to post some pics.

getting ready to go

been awhile again since i've updated, but the decision has been made to return to taiwan. we've both finished up work and are getting our stuff ready to go.

it's hard to believe that it's come up so fast. it seemed like we had all of this time on our hands. we just put some stuff up for sale last week and pretty much everything has sold. we'vetaken all of our treasures off the wall, stuffed the holes and packed up the goods. it just feels like it's happened all so quickly, but I think that's ok. there is so much that we already know about going there it seems fine that everything is accelerated.

so, we've got a bit to go before we leave. thinking of leaving nanaimo on wednesday, but maybe tuesday if we get everything accomplished that we want to. there are a few things around the island that i wouldn't mind doing before we leave. a trip to gabriola on tuesday might be awesome, but we will see.

also considering meeting up with a few friends along the way, but have yet to pin down plans. hopefully will iron that out over the next few days.

other than that, this officially marks my first entry from my new notebook...not that exciting, but nice to have something a little more suited to my needs at the moment. pretty much the same as before, a little slower in the memory department, but nothing that can't be upgraded.

alright,gott go but will update along the way.
