There are moments where I am filled with self doubt about our choices, yesterday was one of them. I was anxious that we were pushing Luca too much, we had been here a week, and here we were sending him off to a place by himself, where he knows no one, does not know the …

The last couple of days have been busy but productive, we are feeling more and more at home. Luca has started school summer camp, he came home last night exhausted,filthy and happy – wonderful! 🙂 He has made friends and spent the day outside exploring and being taught out there. The school has its own …

Monkeys freak Pica out 🙂 Yep, going to take a bit for her to get used to them. We went for a jungle walk close to home and ran into a whole troop of them. They were very vocal and curious. Not a great photo but you get the idea, they are pretty darn cute! …

We have our little casita all set up, it feels very homey, here is the desk I sit at while writing these, not bad eh?!!!!! This morning I saw Agouti stroll by, I was not fast enough to take a photo, but here is what one looks like: So cute! They are about the size …

We were all awake by 5am! Technically as our bodies still on Newfoundland time we slept in 🙂 Though still feeling a little “foggy” we wanted to get going, so unpacked, put everything away, all the pictures and knick knacks up, and now it feels really like our home! Luca loves his room, best room …

We made it!!!!!! Sunday was QUITE the journey! Sunday was a gorgeous day in Newfoundland as Cavelle mentioned, it was a wonderful send off, both from friends and the island itself. Little sleep was had Sunday night, up at 2:30am to pack, a quick finish clean of the house, and got to the airport at …

My last post from Newfoundland! Rich and I did a final pack and weigh yesterday. It is close, within a couple of pounds, but we have met the bag and weight requirements – whew!!!! Above are our 5 suitcases, carry on bags and Pica’s crate, everything we own in the world. Luca’s mates have been …

As we head into the last few days of living in Newfoundland I want to do this post to encourage people to visit here ,(if they have not already!). It is an amazingly beautiful province of Canada and we feel privileged to have lived here. From the west coast of the island… (Luca at the …

I thought I would do a post on insurance for others who are planning extended travel. Rich put a great deal of research into this, such an important one, healthcare is so expensive anywhere without coverage. For Canadians, most of the insurance carriers need you to have provincial health coverage approval, for out of province …

As of today we are officially a, “do not own a vehicle family”. We sold our mighty stead, and have rented a car for the last 10 days. It was sad to say goodbye to her, I think because we brought this car off Cathy and Jim, and she always reminds me of them. Pica …
