Michigan and future trips

I'm getting more sporadic with my posting - perhaps because I've explored almost everywhere there is within a short distance of home. I just need to get out more...

...which I will be! Two weeks ago I spent a week in the Detroit area. I will be going back there again later in July. The week prior to that, I'll be spending a week in Vancouver. It is a city I have never been to, and one that has always been on my "to-do" list, so to say I am excited is an understatement. The week after my trip to Detroit I will be going to San Jose, California. Keep in mind that all of these trips will be paid for courtesy of work, and free travel is of course the best kind. Once all that travel is done, there won't be much time to spare before my big trip to Iceland/Sweden towards the end of August. So much to get prepared for in the next 8 weeks!

I'll try to keep the updates coming as I get to travel to new places - as always, safe travels!

East Coast Road Trip

Just this past weekend, I was informed that some family was taking a road trip to Maine/Canada to get their new german shepherd. They will be heading through multiple cities along the coast, but will eventually end up in Portland, Maine for sure. Hopefully we'll get to stop and see a bunch of sights along the way!

I'll make sure to post pictures and any fun stories upon my return. Until then, safe travels!

Pictures from Montreal

So I just got back from the great white north yesterday - what an experience! The first three days I was there it was incredibly gray and snowy...very depressing. But on Friday the sun finally came out, and I got to see what a beautiful city Montreal is. The parks are gorgeous, and the city has a very unique feel to it. I unfortunately did not have a chance to go to any well-known breweries or restaurants, so I'll just have to go back sometime in the future.

I've included some pictures from my trip below - hopefully they show how much fun I was having while in Quebec (even though I don't know a single word of French).

But now that I'm back, I'm not certain if I'll be going anywhere new in the coming weeks. If you know of any fun trips that you're going on and want me to tag along, by all means let me know!

As always, safe travels!

Canada

In Montreal

So I arrived in Montreal today - and all I've seen is gray skies, snow and rain! Plus, let me tell you, driving around here is quite confusing. A GPS is a must, and even at that you still can get lost.

But today was still fun! My flight was uneventful, and once I finally got to my rental car I headed out to the Parc Mont-Royal to go playing in the snow and get a view of downtown. I saw some cross-country skiers, snowmen, kids sliding down hills on sleds...it's a true winter wonderland here!

I'm not sure if I'll have the chance to go do anything else in town, as I've got some business to take care of while here, but I'll try my best to see one or two other things. Once I get back to Atlanta, I'll make sure to post some pictures from my trip.

As always, safe travels! Hope to see you on the road (or in this case, in the skies!)

Canada!

So I just found out that either next week or the week after I'll be traveling on work to go to Montreal, Quebec. It'll be my first time north of the border, and I really can't wait to see the sights and sounds (and especially all the snow).

Should be a fun couple of weeks with my trip to North Carolina coming up this weekend as well - keep an eye out for pictures in the next few weeks!

As always, safe travels!
