Back on the Road Again, Next Stop: Quebec City…
Good evening,
The time is late and my train tomorrow is early, just the way I like it. Being home for the last 3 weeks has been amusing but a bit dull, much like the weather here. In fact, tonight it is cold and could be considered sweater weather or a straight up jacket racket, ridiculous. Being home is always different because it’s like getting back on a train you jumped off nearly 3 years ago only your most certainly no longer in the same carriage, to say the least. In fact you’re not even on the same train!
On the topic of trains, thrilled to be taking one tomorrow.
Tomorrow I’m on my way to Quebec City to start a 6 week trip that ends in Costa Rica. In between we’ll be visiting Montreal, Anchorage, Vancouver, Victoria and Israel, yes Israel… There will also be time for a wedding which rest assured, is most certainly not mine. I’m quite excited about this whole affair and on the 10th of October, I have a flight from Costa Rica back to Vancouver. I have no idea if I’ll be on that flight but should I wish to travel to Asia; it makes sense, yes?
The next leg of this journey begins, I’m writing at this hour because it feels weird like this every time you leave home. I’m mentioning this not for my benefit but for yours. Whenever you’re going to do something that is a 180 from the status quo like following your dreams into a foggy future, it feels weird. Also remember the longer you’ve been living in a very structured society, the sicker you’ll feel as you speed down a side street into the unknown. What’s cool about the unknown is it’s where your dreams can develop…
Tips hat,
Anchorage…when and for how long? I’m headed to AK on August 24 and will be up there until September 14. Lots of activities (fishing!) planned in various locales near and far from Anchorage. Good luck as you get back on the road.
Awesome, I’m there late on the 23rd and leave on 27th, want to go fishing? I have a dinner on 25th but free to explore.
Want to go fishing and / or have a few pints?!
Glad to see you putting your traveling pants back on. I can’t wait to read all about your upcoming adventures!
Thanks Mandi, excited to be moving again as the traveling pants seem to be the only ones that fit these days!
Ooh, sounds exciting! You must be excited to get out again. totally jealous of Israel.
Definitely ready and Israel should be awesome. I’ve seen your plans and I’m keen to follow your upcoming Hawaiian adventures!
Safe Travels!
Fantastic! Enjoy your travels–seems like you’re really covering a lot of ground!
Indeed, I will most certainly make the most of it and safe travels to you!
Best of luck to you, sir, with regards to all of the new adventures that will surely be coming down the pike in the next couple of months.
I’m glad to read you’ll be coming to Quebec City even if the weather is shitty right now. We had such a great month in July! Anyway, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it very much!!:)
I know!! Everyone back home was talking about it but it’s been kinda lackluster in Ottawa since I arrived, that said having a sick time thus far.
I haven’t seen you around here in a while, hope you’re well!
Thank you as always, good sir.
An egregious tip of the hat to you.
Wow! That’s a lot in 6 weeks Rob. I’m sure you’ll have a ton of interesting adventures to write about.
Indeed, need to conserve energy when I can which sadly is one of my weak points.
Thanks for dropping by and safe travels.
