The Greatest Shower On Earth Though happy to finally have our motorcycle back, we were saddened to have to leave this magical place that we called home for our first two weeks in Iceland. We spent our last night in the hut and, the following day, packed up out belongings onto the...

Grazing Horses After conducting the interview, Baldur offered Paula and I the use of one of his vehicles. Since we were stranded waiting for the motorcycle, Baldur suggested that we take his car for the day and drive around The Golden Circle to see some of the beautiful nature that Iceland...

Re: Arriving In Iceland On our flight to Iceland on Monday, we flew over Greenland and got a great view of massive glaciers and icebergs. Our flight to Iceland arrived just before midnight on Monday. We camped out at the airport that night and the next day we decided to head to the...

Arriving In Iceland August 5, 2013 - August 19, 2013 We arrived at the airport just shortly after 12am. I was surprised by the amount of light still left in the northern sky. Without a motorcycle it felt strange, almost a little lonely. Rocky searched outside the airport for a place to pitch...

Re: New York City In order to prevent further such tragedies, I find it important to understand why such acts of terror occur. It is important to condemn all acts of terror, especially those perpetrated by our own governments in our names. The tragedy of the 9/11 attacks were used to justify...

Re: New York City Paula and I arrived in New York City on the hot and hazy afternoon of July 30th. We arrived at Iceland AirCargo to arrange the shipment of the motorcycle to Iceland only to find out that IcelandAir Cargo didn't provide the crate required for shipment. We called a few...

New York City July 30, 2013 - August 5, 2013 I was excited to go to New York City but we had many things to organize. We knew that parking the motorcycle in such a large city was going to be an annoying issue and we tried to solve that problem immediately. Since we were going to Iceland...

Vermont July 25, 2013 - July 29, 2013 We crossed the border into the USA, entering the State of Maine. I've always heard good things of Maine, but I think it got my hopes up because I wasn't as impressed as I was told I would be. It depends how you like to travel though. It was packed with...

Re: Leaving Canada Aaron At The Camp After two nights, it was time for Paula and I to head towards the U.S. border. We spent the morning with Craig, his girlfriend, Betty, and Craig's son, Wyatt. Paula, Betty, Wyatt & Craig Paula & Wyatt Craig dropped us off at Aaron's house, where...

Leaving Canada July 16, 2013 - July 24, 2013 The freezing cold, uncomfortable ferry ride back to mainland Canada was very depressing. We were wrong to assume that the night ride would provide us with any rest. We got off the ferry exhausted and thought it was best to pitch our tent under a...

Re: Newfoundland Leaving Trout River, I stopped to snap a few photos of the awesome scenery. Paula wasn't feeling too well. She is very susceptible to bug bites, and she thought that she was suffering from a case of Black Fly Fever. The next day, we arrived at Fishing Point in St. Anthony...

Re: Newfoundland There are two ferry routes from Nova Scotia to Newfoundland - a short crossing that arrives in Port aux Basques and a much longer route that ports in the western part of Newfoundland in Argentia. We boarded the ferry, operated by Marine Atlantic, from North Sydney, Nova...

Newfoundland July 6, 2013 - July 16, 2013 Over five hours on the ferry and I didn't get sea sick! Either the small patch behind my ear worked or the ocean was calm enough not to make me feel queasy. We finally arrived in Newfoundland and it didn't take long to notice people spoke very...

Re: The Maritimes Peggy's Cove Paula At Peggy's Cove Adrienne was one of Kathy's roommates. She was the best friend to Jetson, the household dog. Adrienne planned on traveling to New Zealand and invited us to come stay with her if we made it that far. We left Halifax on July 3rd and...

The Maritimes June 23, 2013 - July 5, 2013 It became obvious when we had entered New Brunswick because most of the street signs were also written in English. Campbellton, New Brunswick is situated on the south bank of the Restigouche River opposite Pointe-a-la-Croix, Quebec. We found a...

Re: Québec Thanks!

Re: Québec While at Alex's house in Baie-d'Urfe, Patrick introduced us to a type of honey wine. We liked it so much that we decided to stop along the way at the Vieux Moulin, located along highway 132 in Québec, where the wine is produced. Since we couldn't carry a lot on the bike, we only...

Québec June 17, 2013 - June 23, 2013 The sky was threatening to rain when we left Cobalt, but we only got spit on. We rode all day until we were ready to find a place to camp. Pembroke, Ontario had a good flat field next to a school and we decided to spend the night there. I tried to set...

Re: On The Road Again After a year and a half of being back home, working, saving and rebuilding the motorcycle, we set back out on the road. We left Hamilton on June 9th and headed north. Our second day on the road, we crossed over to Manitoulin Island on the ferry from Tobermory. The...

On The Road Again June 9, 2013 - June 16, 2013 We left a week and a day late but it was nice to have a little extra time with everyone. We had everything packed at Rocky's moms house but we spent the night at my moms. I tried to cuddle my cats as much as possible before leaving the next...
