Leaving

[Flying Trucker]

Good evening all...

Tomorrow morning Sunday, December 19th, 2010 at 06:00 the old girl and I are heading to the east coast of Canada for Christmas...

We will be making several stops enroute and hope to arrive on the east coast about Tuesday, December 21st.

We are driving down as we have a lot of things to take with us and the several stops are not near any local airport.

The old girl will be in Boston, Massachusetts between Christmas and New Years for several days while I shall be in Newfoundland, Canada over the same period.

This trip has been planned for several months now as many of our family is serving overseas and will not make it home this Christmas.

I did not want the moderators or anyone else think I hit a button and deleted my account again because I have not posted in awhile...

Hopefully will be back home by New Years but the weather and time will tell...

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all...

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that you had moved to the west coast of Canada. If so that is quite a drive! Either way it sounds like a fun trip, let us know how it goes. Do you have friends or family in Newfoundland?

No, he is on the other end. I used to think the same thing.

Have a safe trip Doug and we'll catch up in the New Year

Wish I'd known this sooner -- I could wave his wife down on her way by and gave her a card for the both of them.

Goodly afternoon all...

We are home finally....

We have many friends and family from coast to coast living in Canada and the United States of America.

The old girl and I believe and hopefully we brought our children up the same way that if one can not go and see their friends and family while they are alive, why the hell go and see them when they are dead?...

Reunions, either military or civilian are a lot of fun.  Not only do you see who you outlived but you get to cry in your beer because you lent the SOB twenty bucks...

The old girl loves reunions, she gets to catch up on the missed gossip and then passes it on to the nattering nannies around here...

We live in Ontario and a long way from the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
Right on the Bay of Quinte which is linked to Lake Ontario.
The United States Border is about ninety (90) minutes by car from us in good weather...

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year...       ;)

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

The last time I passed through Ontario (from Michigan) I was stopped at the New York end by US Customs; they searched my car, my luggage, individual items and, by interrogation, my head... they seemed dejected that they didn't find anything and let me cross the river.

Must have been a different crew on the way back, since they let you back in.
