Take a deep breath...
30. juni 2018, Canada ⋅ 🌙 22 °C
Taking a deep breath and picturing what is on the horizon... as our planning and preparing become actual travel, we share the following quote from Ibn Battuta. We are all a little humbled by the number of family, friends and extended friends who share our excitement and are interested in our story. Let’s hope our adventure takes our breath away and our story does it justice.Les mer

And jump right in!... Our departure
30. juni 2018, Canada ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
OK, 3,2,1, ready for take off, it is go time. Bags packed, shoes tied, underwear clean and eyes forward, let’s do this 7 am departure!

What brought us here?
Hopefully some loving family member who does not mind driving people to the airport at 4 am!

What happened here?
Voila, Jody Ryan. While not winding back roads on 2-wheels with her gang of biker dudes, Jody enjoys long drives to the city, often with airports at the end. While not working the kill-floor in her rubber-wear Jody also enjoys loading and unloading luggage, giving hugs and sending vacationers off. When she grows up she hopes to never grow old. And her goal in life is to build an ark and march in her animals 2 by 2. All in a day's work for this awesome sister, amazing sister-in-law and wicked aunt. And joining the departure team at the last minute we have Grandma. Never one to shy away from crazy adventures at all hours of the night (or morning), this intrepid explorer steps up to co-pilot Jody’s early morning delivery. Thank you to both of them for getting us to our starting point and sending us off with hugs and smiles. I wonder if they will pick us up too?

Throughout our story we hope to share some interesting ‘Did You Knows’ (DYK) about some of the places we go and things we see. Whether factual or fun they are intended to be entertaining (especially if they are not factual!).

DYK: Our departing flight will be one of up to 1100 flights coming or going from Pearson today. Toronto’s airport is named in honour of Toronto-born Lester B. Pearson, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and 14th Prime Minister of Canada.Les mer

Touchdown #1, Calgary, Alberta, Canada
30. juni 2018, Canada ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
Just a stop-over, but Calgary, Alberta is our first touchdown of many more to come. After a short stay in the airport we will be back in the air and on our way to destination #1.

What brought us here?
Honestly, the airline, not leaving the airport, just stopping over. Maybe we can explore the vast plains (of the airport) and lasso up some grub while we are here.

What happened here?
Flight arrived on time. We only had just over an hour before our next flight, so we caught a ride on one of the airports electric trams, got some food and found our gate. Our little dual prop Bombardier Q400 was at the gate when we arrived. A short time later we learned that our departure was delayed 30 mins due to the flight crew running late. We sent a few texts home. Sent an email to Sarah and Stewart letting them know of the delay and waited a little longer. We boarded shortly before 11:00 am and were on the move on time.

DYK: Calgary was first Canadian city to host the Winter Olympics (1988). Home to the largest outdoor event in the world, the Calgary Stampede attracts over 1 million attendees each year.Les mer

Touchdown #2, Yellowknife, NWT, Canada
30. juni 2018, Canada ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
Here we are, arriving in Yellowknife, NWT to visit Sarah and Stewart. We may not be here for a long time but we are looking forward to seeing some sights and spending time with friends.

What brought us here?
As 2nd generation family friends, I have known Sarah since she was born. Sarah joined us on our Trip of a Lifetime in 2011 when we visited Hawaii, Australia and Los Angeles. Sarah and Stewart are making a life for themselves in Canada’s Northwest Territories. Since Sarah survived our first Trip of a Lifetime we had to work in a visit with her and Stewart at their home in Yellowknife, capital of NWT.

What happened here?
After exiting the plane and walking in on the tarmac, Sarah and Stewart were waiting to meet us. Welcome to Yellowknife! We collected our luggage and our Yellowknife adventure was officially underway!

DYK: While we are visiting Yellowknife we are experiencing about 20 hours of sunlight each day.Les mer

Sarah and Stewart's house... After dropping off our luggage we went for a beer flight at the NWT Brewing Co. [www.nwtbrewingco.com] (great first stop). After that we picked up some groceries and returned home to make dinner and visit.Les mer

Happy Canada Day!

As part of this adventure we get to celebrate Canada’s 151st birthday in Yellowknife. The day starts off with a parade through downtown… red and white everywhere. After the parade we went for lunch at The Wildcat Café [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wildcat_Cafe]. This restaurant is the oldest in Yellowknife and is only open during the summer months, it has an interesting history and a great menu. Following lunch we walked up the hill to visit the Bush Pilots' Monument and had a great view of the houseboats. We continued our tour by the Yellowknife Wharf, the Bank of Toronto Building, and then a driving tour of more of Old Town, Latham Island and City Centre. We stopped at the Visitor Centre and got our Yellowknife pin. On our way home we also drove by the location of Sarah and Stewart’s new house. Once back at home we enjoyed dinner and some beers and played a wild game of Yahtzee!Les mer

Yellowknife Day 2
3. juli 2018, Canada ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
With partly clouding skies overhead we headed out for some more touring. We stopped at the Welcome to Yellowknife sign and Bristol Freighter Historical Airplane. We then drove out to the Yellowknife Giant Mine and Boat Launch. We returned to downtown to have lunch at Boston Pizza. After a quick stop back at home to grab some fishing gear we got some ice cream and headed out to the Yellowknife River Bridge. Stewart and the boys cast a few lines in the river and Oliver caught a fish, but it got away before he could reel it in.
Our day wound down back at Sarah and Stewart’s with some dinner, repacking and relaxing. Alarm was set and we got tucked in. Tomorrow is on its way!Les mer

Yellowknife Day 3
3. juli 2018, Canada ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
Our short visit is coming to an end with an early morning wake up call. We were out of the house by 4:45 am and at the airport by 5 am. With some thank you hugs and good byes Sarah and Stewart drove away while we entered the airport. Check in was quick and easy (not a very big airport and we beat the rush). The line for security seemed longer but once again, it was not a very big airport, so did not take long to get through.
We boarded the plane direct from the tarmac. With everyone buckled into their seats, baggage stowed and seatbacks in the upright position, we were ready to fly.Les mer

Touchdown #3, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
3. juli 2018, Canada ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C
Added at the last minute, we have a short stopover in Edmonton, Alberta. Upon leaving Yellowknife our pilot warned us that the fog was heavy in Edmonton and we might not be able to make the stop, but as we approached it had cleared up. We did not leave the plane as some passengers disembarked and others came on. From landing to take off we were about 36 minutes. Back to the skies and back on course for Calgary.Les mer

Touchdown #4, Calgary again
3. juli 2018, Canada ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C
Just a short 40 mins later and now we are back in Calgary…once we learned we did not have to collect our luggage (it was cleared all the way through to LA) we headed through Security and Customs with no problems. The International Departures area has lots of options for seating and eating, so after we relaxed for a short while we needed some grub. From the moment we walked in the Belgian Beer Cafe caught my eye and after learning it was the only one in Canada, we had to try it! We enjoyed a couple authentic Belgian beers and a couple local brews produced in Belgian styles… all good. We also had some food to wash it all down. After eating the boys played in the Fun Zone, we chatted with home, bought some travel snacks and visited Duty-Free.
The plane starting boarding around 4 pm and we were LA bound. Isaac and I scored three seats for the two of us and shortly after take-off Jen’s neighbour found a different seat also giving her and Oliver three seats to share… kinda like first class!Les mer
