Life With Quinn: August long weekend

http://the-ashmeads.blogspot.com/2011/08/august-long-weekend.html

A family blog about the Ashmeads, Melanie, Lawrence and The Mighty Quinn. Friday, August 5, 2011. We certainly had a fantastic August Long Weekend! Kevin invited a bunch of us to his family farm near Crossfield. His parents were kind to let us bring out our trailers and tents and have a Bonn fire. It's a beautiful parcel of land. So nice to get out of the city and neat to see where Kevin grew up. You can sure see how being a 'country boy' is SO different than a City kid. So while they kept themselves ent...

Becoming a yes man – Driving in Saigon | borebags

http://www.borebags.com/2012/03/05/becoming-a-yes-man-driving-in-saigon

Donna and Gareth around the world. Photo of the Week. Becoming a yes man – Driving in Saigon. Getting some practice on the quiet roads of Phu Quoc Island. First time ever driving a motorbike. Donna doesn’t even have a drivers licence at home, so driving a motorbike was a little daunting for her. Didn’t take her too long getting used to it though. Best bits in pics – Part 2. We love you Hanoi, we do. Crossing the road in Hanoi. An attack of the reverse culture shock. Sign in with Twitter. June 24, 2012.

Dude, Don’t be a Hostel Dick. On April 2, 2011 in Travel Tips. Photo via Flickr Creative Commons: via Grumbler. I’ve spent more than 200 nights in hostels. The good hostels. The bad hostels. The awesome hostels. If you are planning to stay in a hostel, or sometimes get confused about hostel etiquette, the following post is for you. Consider this your do’s and don’ts should you decide to be a roommate. 2 If you are on the bottom bunk and want some privacy, hang your towel down from the bed above you.

Life With Quinn: November 2011

http://the-ashmeads.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html

A family blog about the Ashmeads, Melanie, Lawrence and The Mighty Quinn. Monday, November 21, 2011. Finally, after almost 6 years of me NOT having a cell phone, I got one! Lair has been wanting me to get one since we moved back to Calgary but I just didn't see the need (and I'm cheap). So why the change of heart? 1 In late October, at work, I won a Blue Tooth. I joked that it was the Universe telling me to get a phone. So what's the use of having a land line anymore? Friday, November 11, 2011. The annua...

The fear of dreaming big… and failing | So Many Places

https://somanyplacesdotcom.wordpress.com/2010/12/18/telling-our-friends-and-family-or-not

Packing and Travel Gear. Running Around the World. So Many Places in Oregon. The fear of dreaming big… and failing. On December 18, 2010 · 4 Comments. We’ve decided not to tell most of our friends and family about this blog until we’ve purchased our one-way ticket to New Zealand, the first country on our itinerary. There’s really one reason why we’re holding back, and it’s the fear of. What if this doesn’t happen. And, you know,. What if this doesn’t happen. What if we try, try, try and still fail? As so...

Determining our RTW budget | So Many Places

https://somanyplacesdotcom.wordpress.com/2010/12/19/determining-our-rtw-budget

Packing and Travel Gear. Running Around the World. So Many Places in Oregon. Determining our RTW budget. On December 19, 2010 · 6 Comments. It is weird to talk about money. Especially. Brian and I have set a savings goal of $60,000 dollars. We plan to travel with $50,000 and save $10,000 as money to come home to. This is, of course, assuming we come back to our adopted home of Portland, Oregon. Maybe we’ll make somewhere else home. Maybe we’ll travel indefinitely. The budgets and grand totals range, but ...

Life With Quinn: Stampede Parade and Midway

http://the-ashmeads.blogspot.com/2011/08/stampede-parade-and-midway.html

A family blog about the Ashmeads, Melanie, Lawrence and The Mighty Quinn. Wednesday, August 3, 2011. Stampede Parade and Midway. We were up n' at em super early to take the express bus downtown. We arrived to our pre-bought bleacher seats around 8am. We had a small breakfast and waited for it to begin. That was a long wait! Prince William and Bride Kate ZOOMED past us doing about 40km an hour. Whatever. That was lame sauce! Afterwards, us and 100,000 other people headed off the stampede grounds. Quinn an...

A family blog about the Ashmeads, Melanie, Lawrence and The Mighty Quinn. Thursday, July 14, 2011. Love the Skin I am in. This summer, and starting with this weekend at Motion Notion (a Music Festival), I am going to 'try' to Love the Skin I am in. I am not (necessarily) going to suck in my belly. I am going to try to walk with the confidence I want to - Loving every square inch of me, no matter how flabby it may be. Yup I say this now. Let's see how I feel after the weekend! People I Peep in on.

Donna and Gareth around the world. Photo of the Week. Raquo; Random musings. Best bits in pics – Part 3. Sunset in Siem Reap. A street scene in Siem Reap in Cambodia. You never get sunsets like you do in SE Asia and this is an example of street life as the sun was setting. Lovely small town with great bars, cafes, restaurants and of course the Temples of Angkor. 40 Degree heat and no air con or water is not fun. Break down. Not impressed. Snacking on some Locusts. Singha and Diet Coke. Borebags is a trav...
