			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Vincent and I went back to St Andrews. The reason is that Vincent has been accepted to the college and he will start his course in September. This time we went to look for an apartment. We visited a few and finally found a nice little one. He should be fine, it&#8217;s a 2 room apartment with all utilities included.</p>
<p>On the way back, we took a little detour and visited St-Stephen which is a few minutes away from St-Andrews.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/DSC_1634.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1802" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/DSC_1634-100x100.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" /></a> <a href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/DSC_1636.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1803" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/DSC_1636-100x100.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" /></a></p>
<p>And as usual during the trip we searched for few Geocaches.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/DSC_1643.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1801" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/DSC_1643-100x100.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" /></a></p>
<p>Everything is falling into place for Vincent&#8217;s return to school in September.</p>
<p><em>Vincent et moi sommes retournés à St-Andrews. La raison est que Vincent a été accepté au collège et il va commencer son cours en Septembre. Cette fois on est allé pour trouver un appartement. On en a visité plusieurs et finalement on en a trouvé un pas pire pantoute. Il devrait y être pas mal bien, un appartement de 2 pièces avec tout compris.</p>
<p>Sur le chemin du retour, on a fait un petit détour et on a visité St-Stephen qui est à quelques minutes de St Andrews.</em></p>
<p><em><a href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/DSC_1634.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1802" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/DSC_1634-100x100.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" /></a> <a href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/DSC_1636.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1803" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/DSC_1636-100x100.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" /></a></p>
<p>Et comme d&#8217;habitude au cours du voyage, nous avons cherché quelques géocaches.</em></p>
<p><em><a href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/DSC_1643.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1801" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/DSC_1643-100x100.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" /></a></p>
<p>Finalement! Tout tombe en place pour Vincent et son retour a l’ecole.﻿</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This past week-end was a good and quiet one. On Saturday we went shopping and during the evening, Lucie and I went to see a movie in Fredericton. We saw Prince of Persia. It is a good action movie, true to the video game.</p>
<p>On Monday, I took the day off and we went to St Andrews which is located about 1 1/2hrs from home.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/DSC_1537.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1769" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/DSC_1537-100x100.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" /></a> <a href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/DSC_1498.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1765" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/DSC_1498-100x100.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" /></a> <a href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/DSC_1391.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1752" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/DSC_1391-100x100.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" /></a></p>
<p>The reason is that Vincent wanted to apply to New Brunswick Community College. He wants to go back to school in September. He is planning to take the &#8221; International travels and tourism&#8221; course. So we went and checked the college and the town out.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/DSC_1443.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1760" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/DSC_1443-100x100.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" /></a> <a href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/DSC_1441.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1759" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/DSC_1441-100x100.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" /></a> <a href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/DSC_1427.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1756" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/DSC_1427-100x100.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" /></a> <a href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/DSC_1413.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1754" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/DSC_1413-100x100.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" /></a></p>
<p>It is a nice little town and Vincent is all excited. While travelling to our destination we did a few Geocaches. All in all we had a good day!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/DSC_1502.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1766" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/DSC_1502-100x100.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" /></a> <a href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/DSC_1467.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1762" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/DSC_1467-100x100.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" /></a></p>
<p><em>On a eu une bonne fin de semaine tranquille. Le samedi on est allé magasiner et pendant la soirée, Lucie et moi on a ete voir un film à Fredericton. On a vu le prince de Perse. C&#8217;est un bon film d&#8217;action, qui est pas mal comme le jeu vidéo.</em></p>
<p><em>Le lundi, j&#8217;ai pris une journée de congé et on est allé à St Andrews, qui est situé à environ 1 1/2hrs de route de la maison. </em></p>

<p><em>La raison pour le voyage est que Vincent a ete appliquer au College du Nouveau-Brunswick. Il veut retourner à l&#8217;école en Septembre. Il envisage de prendre le cours &#8216;&#8221;Voyage International et Tourisme&#8221;. On a ete voir le College et demander tout plein de questions et ensuite on s’est promené en ville.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have to warn you this is going to be a long update.  March has been a busy month so far.  It all started the first week of March with the kids having March Break.  They had a week off from school, at any other time this would have been just a week with the kids at home.  However now being in New Brunswick, that meant that we could easily go to Quebec to see the family.  This was the first time in 20 years that we were able to just pack and go.  So on Friday we just packed our stuff and left.  The weather was not that good, snow and blowing snow.  The only bad weather of the winter had to be on the day that we decided to travel!  But we decided to keep on going even if Lucie was not too sure about driving in that weather.  We made it fine all the way across New Brunswick.  Things got different when we got to Riviere du Loup.  The Trans-Canada highway (route 20) was closed between Riviere-du-Loup and Quebec.</p>
<p>To make a long story short, we looked  for a motel/hotel in Riviere-du-Loup but everything was booked solid, we ended  up turning back and finding a small hotel in the middle of nowhere.  To give you an idea, it was the kind of place where 2 letters on the sign were not working.  We should have taken that as a sign when the “o” and the “t” were not working, the sign was saying “Hel”&#8230;.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/IMGP2252.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1380" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/IMGP2252-100x100.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" /></a> <a href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/IMGP2251.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1379" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/IMGP2251-100x100.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" /></a></p>
<p>We took 2 rooms, no other choice really, we had to sleep for the night and that was the only hotel available.  To give you an idea, the room were taken from the movie &#8220;Psycho”.  Perfect setting for a horror movie.  Kim was most amazed by the puzzle on the wall&#8230;  Wind was blowing in through the door, there was a stain on the bed&#8230;  You get the idea.</p>
<p>We got up the next morning (with all our body parts and we weren’t  attacked by any kind of monster during the night)  and we resumed our trip.  We stopped in Quebec City and spend a  night there.  We stayed at my mother’s, my sister was gone for the week end.  While there I ended  up doing a few photos while taking Loki for his walks.  Loki stayed with my sister for the week.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/IMGP2261.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1383" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/IMGP2261-100x100.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" /></a> <a href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/IMGP2258.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1384" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/IMGP2258-100x100.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" /></a> <a href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/IMGP2260.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1385" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/IMGP2260-100x100.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" /></a></p>
<p>On Sunday we left and headed for Montreal.  One of Lucie’s goal while in Montreal was to see all the new babies in the family.  We saw all of them, Lucie and Kim were able to fulfill their motherly instinct.  On their side all the boys went shopping in the big malls in Montreal.</p>

<p>We left on Tuesday and went to Lac des Ecorces to see Lucie’s parents.  This was a real vacation, nothing to do for a couple day, sit down and relax.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/DSC_9826.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1397" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/DSC_9826-100x100.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" /></a> <a href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/DSC_0039.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1398" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/DSC_0039-100x100.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" /></a> <a href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/IMGP2277.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1409" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/IMGP2277-100x100.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" /></a></p>

<p>I always have good time when I stay there for a while.</p>
<p>Then on Thursday it was back to Quebec City to spend few more days with my mother and sister.<br />
We all end up going to Old Quebec for a day, had a lot of fun and again took a lot of photos.</p>

<p>Saturday we returned home, the trip went well. We got back home just in time to get ready to go back to work on Monday.</p>
<p>Upon returning to the office, I had an e-mail waiting for me.  The e-mail was saying that they had a position open in Bathurst and that I was a suitable candidate to apply for it.  After talking to the family as if I would accept it, it would mean another move to another location.  After much talking,  we decided that I would apply for it.  Lucie and I decided that we would go to Bathurst during the next week end to see what the area is like.</p>
<p>On Friday, while waiting for the kids to come back from school, we went for a nice walk on the side of the Oromocto river, while there we searched for few Geocaches.  As usual we took a lot of photos.</p>

<p>On Saturday, Lucie and I left for Bathurst.  We played tourist for 2 days.  We crossed New Brunswick and along the way found some nice little spots.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/DSC_0205.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1464" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/DSC_0205-100x100.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" /></a> <a href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/DSC_0213.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1465" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/DSC_0213-100x100.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" /></a> <a href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/DSC_0237.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1463" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/DSC_0237-100x100.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" /></a> <a href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/DSC_0223.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1466" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/DSC_0223-100x100.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" /></a></p>
<p>Upon arrival in Bathurst, we drove around town for a while, trying to see what the community had to offer.  One things that was different is the fact that most of the people there spoke french.  The town is a nice size town with all that you could ask for.</p>
<p>During our driving we found a house for sale.  Here we are checking a town for possible move and while in there, we found the house of my dream&#8230;  Not even sure if we will get transferred there but if we do and this house is still on the market we’ll be very interested.  It is a brand new house and the backyard is right by ocean.  A kayak dream.</p>

<p>On Sunday we got back home and celebrated Vincent birthday.  He is not a teenager anymore&#8230;  Talking about Vincent he left for Newfoundland on Monday.  He is staying there for a week and he will come back with his girlfriend for a week.</p>
<p>Upon returning to the office on Monday, I found out that the position for Bathurst had been put on hold until April, until the new budget (money) comes in.  So at this point we are not sure what is going on with this.</p>
<p>Last week I had the chance to meet Mitch Dorge, the drummer for Crash Test Dummies.  He came to the area and presented a motivational speech to the students in the middle schools.  A real nice guy, I had a blast with him.  You can see part of his presentation on YouTube at these links.</p>

<p><em><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyYF17xtgnc&amp;NR=1" target="_blank">Part 2</a></em></p>
<p>On Friday, we all went to the movie and we saw Alice in Wonderland in 3d, it is a pretty good movie, we all enjoyed it.  We all had a good time.  Saturday I went to write the promotional exam, that went well (I think).  On Saturday night we had BBQ on my brand new BBQ, quite a meal we had.</p>
<p>Today we were supposed to go for either kayaking or geocaching but it was a little bit colder this morning and I decided to stay in and write this blog while listening to Jack Johnson.  I just found him a few weeks ago and everybody in the house is getting tired of listening to him&#8230;</p>

<p>As you can see, March has been a busy month so far, too many things to do and not enough time.</p>
<p><em>Je dois vous prevenir que ca va etre une longue mise à jour. Le mois de Mars a été tres occupé jusqu&#8217;à présent. Tout a commencé avec la première semaine de Mars, les enfants ayant une semaine de relache. Ils ont eu une semaine de congé, en tout autre moment, cela aurait été juste une semaine à la maison. Toutefois, maintenant qu’on est au Nouveau Brunswick, cela a voulu dire qu’on avait la possibilite d’aller au Québec pour voir la famille. C&#8217;était la première fois en 20 ans que on a pu juste partir. Cela a donné que le vendredi on a paquetté nos valises et on est parti. La temperature etait pas trop bonne, de la neige et de la poudrerie, la seule mauvaise temperature de l’hiver c’est quand on decide de voyager! Mais on est quand meme parti malgré le fait que Lucie n&#8217;était pas trop sûre de conduire dans ces conditions. On a traversé le Nouveau Brunswick sans probleme. Les choses se sont gatées quand on est arrivé à Rivière-du-Loup.  La Trans-Canadienne (route 20)  était fermée entre Rivière-du-Loup et le Québec.</em></p>
<p><em>Pour resumer ce qui s’est passé par la suite, on a cherché un motel / hôtel à Rivière-du-Loup, mais tout était pris, on a fini par rebrousser chemin et on a trouvé un petit hôtel au milieu de nulle part. Pour vous donner une idée, c&#8217;était le genre d&#8217;endroit où 2 lettre sur 5 sur l’enseigne ne fonctionnaient pas. On aurait du prendre ca comme une mise en garde,  le &#8220;o&#8221; et le &#8220;t&#8221; ne fonctionnaient pas, le signe disant donc &#8220;Hel &#8220;&#8230;.</em></p>
<p><em><a href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/IMGP2252.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1380" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/IMGP2252-100x100.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" /></a> <a href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/IMGP2251.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1379" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/IMGP2251-100x100.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" /></a></em></p>
<p><em>On a pris 2 chambres, on avait pas vraiment d&#8217;autre choix, il fallait qu’on dorme un peu et  c&#8217;était le seul hôtel disponible. Pour vous donner une idée, les chambres avaient l’air de venir directement du film “Psycho&#8221;. Environnement idéal pour un vrai film d’horreur.   Kim a été tres impressionnée par le puzzle sur le mur &#8230; le vent soufflait à travers la porte, il y avait des taches sur le lit &#8230; Vous voyez ce que je veut dire.</em></p>
<p><em>On s’est levé le lendemain matin (intact et on n’a pas ete attaqué par des monstres, pendant la nuit) et on a terminer notre voyage. On est arrivé à Québec et on a passé une nuit là-bas. On est restés chez ma mère, ma soeur était partie pour la fin de semaine. Durant notre sejour, j’ai fait quelques photos a chaque fois que je sortais Loki pour sa marche. Loki a passer la semaine chez ma soeur.</em></p>

<p><em>Le dimanche on est parti pour Montréal. Un des buts de la visite pour Lucie était de voir tous les nouveaux bébés de nos nièces. On les a tous vus, Lucie et Kim ont rempli leur instinct maternel. De notre côté, on en a profiter pour aller faire du magasinage.</em></p>

<p><em>À notre arrivée à Bathurst, on s’est promené en ville un peu, histoire de voir ce que la communauté avait à offrir. Une des choses différentes, c&#8217;est le fait que la plupart des gens parlent français. C’est une assez grande ville avec tout ce que vous pouvez avoir besoin.</em></p>
<p><em>Durant notre promenade en ville on a trouvé une maison à vendre. On etait a Bathurst juste pour voir la ville et on fini par trouver la maison de nos rêves &#8230;  Et on nù,est meme pas sure d’avoir le transfert.

<p><em>Le dimanche on est reparti à la maison et en arrivant on a célébré l’anniversaire a Vincent.  Il n’est plus un adolescent&#8230;  En parlant de Vincent, il est parti pour Terre-Neuve le lendemain. Il va y rester pour une semaine et va revenir avec sa blonde et passer une semaine ici ensemble.</em></p>
<p><em>Le Lundi, c’etait le retour au travail, en arrivant j’ai appris que la position de Bathurst avait ete cancellé tout du moins jusqu&#8217;au mois d&#8217;avril, jusqu&#8217;à ce que le nouveau budget (argent) arrive. Donc on est meme pas sure de ce qui ce passe avec tout ça.</em></p>
<p><em>La semaine dernière, j&#8217;ai eu la chance de rencontrer Mitch Dorge, le batteur de Crash Test Dummies. Il est venu dans le coin pour faire des presentations dans les ecoles secondaires.

<p><em>Ce Vendredi, on est tous allés au cinema pour voir  Alice au pays des merveilles en 3D. On a passer une tres bonne soiree. Samedi, j’ai ete ecrire l’examen pour les promotions, qui a bien ete (je crois). Samedi soir on a eu notre premier BBQ de la saison sur mon BBQ tout neuf.  Ca faisait longtemps et on a eu droit a un tres bon souper!</em></p>
<p><em>Aujourd&#8217;hui on avait planifié de soit faire du kayak ou bien geocaching.  Malheuresement ce matin c’etait pas mal plus froid que les derniers jours.  J’ai donc decidé de rester a l’interieur et d’ecrire mon blog tout en écoutant Jack Johnson.

<p><font face="Arial" size="2">Alain, Kim and I all went camping on the Northern Peninsula. We went to the same campground as last year. In the 2 days we were there, we had wind, rain and it was cold. Some of the highlights of the trip were: we saw some icebergs </font></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One moose, one caribou, two rabbits, one squirrel, one fox and 30 Geocaches. That is the breakdown for the past week-end.</p>
<p>I needed to get out of here for a while, I needed a change of scenery and do something different. As kayaking is out of the question for now, the next best thing was Geocaching.</p>
<p><a class="imagelink" title="dsc_1701.JPG" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/dsc_1701.JPG"><img id="image496" alt="dsc_1701.JPG" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/dsc_1701.thumbnail.JPG" /></a></p>
<p>The goal for the week-end was to get out of town and do some Geocaching. So we left on Friday around lunch time and drove to Gander. It took us a little more than 10 hrs to drive less than 400 km. All the way down to Gander we searched for Geocaches. We found 11 on Friday. The weather was not too bad, Lucie even got a bit of a tan on her shoulders. We found some amazing places that we would never have found out if it wasn’t for Geocaching.</p>
<p><a title="dsc_7124.JPG" class="imagelink" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/dsc_7124.JPG"><img alt="dsc_7124.JPG" id="image497" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/dsc_7124.thumbnail.JPG" /></a> <a title="dsc_7094.JPG" class="imagelink" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/dsc_7094.JPG"><img alt="dsc_7094.JPG" id="image498" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/dsc_7094.thumbnail.JPG" /> </a><a title="dsc_7075.JPG" class="imagelink" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/dsc_7075.JPG"><img alt="dsc_7075.JPG" id="image499" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/dsc_7075.thumbnail.JPG" /></a></p>
<p>and we sure took a lot of photos.</p>
<p><a class="imagelink" title="dsc_1633.JPG" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/dsc_1633.JPG"><img id="image500" alt="dsc_1633.JPG" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/dsc_1633.thumbnail.JPG" /></a> <a title="dsc_7068.JPG" class="imagelink" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/dsc_7068.JPG"><img alt="dsc_7068.JPG" id="image501" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/dsc_7068.thumbnail.JPG" /></a> <a title="dsc_7162.JPG" class="imagelink" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/dsc_7162.JPG"><img alt="dsc_7162.JPG" id="image502" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/dsc_7162.thumbnail.JPG" /></a><br />
Saturday was a different matter, it was raining most of the day, but that didn’t stop us. We found 9 more Geocaches. At some point we were soak and wet but regardless we had fun.</p>
<p><a title="imgp0595.JPG" class="imagelink" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/imgp0595.JPG"><img alt="imgp0595.JPG" id="image503" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/imgp0595.thumbnail.JPG" /> </a><a class="imagelink" title="imgp0594.JPG" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/imgp0594.JPG"><img id="image504" alt="imgp0594.JPG" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/imgp0594.thumbnail.JPG" /></a><br />
Sunday was the drive back. As we were wise, we kept some Geocache for the way back. The weather was much better than Saturday. We found 10 on the way back.</p>
<p>So it was a good week-end Geocaching, I will have to do that more often.</p>
<p>On another note, I just found this website called &#8220;Playing for change&#8221; you can find it at:</p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://playingforchange.com/"><img id="image495" alt="banner-150x150.gif" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/banner-150x150.gif" /><br />

</a><br />
that is so cool!</p>
<p>We are planning to go with the kids to find some Geocaches tonight,  I will keep you posted.</p>
<p><em>Un orignal, un caribou, deux lievres, un ecureuil, un renard et 30 geocaches. C’est le resultat de la fin de semaine qui vient de se terminer.</em></p>
<p><em>J&#8217;avais besoin de sortir d&#8217;ici, j&#8217;avais besoin de me changer les idees un peu et de faire quelque chose de different. Comme le kayak est hors de question pour l’instant, j’ai opte pour la deuxieme alternative, le Geocaching.</em></p>
<p><a class="imagelink" title="dsc_1701.JPG" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/dsc_1701.JPG"><img id="image496" alt="dsc_1701.JPG" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/dsc_1701.thumbnail.JPG" /></a></p>
<p><em>L&#8217;objectif de la fin de semaine etait de partir d’ici et de faire du Geocaching. On est donc parti vendredi vers l&#8217;heure du diner et on a conduit jusqu&#8217;a Gander. Ca nous a pris un peu plus de 10 heures pour faire moins de 400 km. Durant le trajet on a cherche des Geocaches. On en a trouve 11 le premier jour. La temperature etait relativement bonne vendredi, Lucie a meme bronze un peu sur les epaules. On a decouvert des endroits magnifiques qu’on aurait surement jamais trouve si ca n&#8217;avait pas ete du Geocaching.</em></p>

<p><em>et bien sure on a fait tout plein de photos.</em></p>

<em>Samedi ca a ete different. De la pluie toute la journee, mais c’est pas ca qui nous a arretes. On a trouve 9 autres Geocaches. A un moment donne on etait tout trempes. Mais c’est pas grave on a eu bien du plaisir.</em></p>
<p><a title="imgp0595.JPG" class="imagelink" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/imgp0595.JPG"><img alt="imgp0595.JPG" id="image503" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/imgp0595.thumbnail.JPG" /> </a><a class="imagelink" title="imgp0594.JPG" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/imgp0594.JPG"><img id="image504" alt="imgp0594.JPG" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/imgp0594.thumbnail.JPG" /></a><br />
<em>Le dimanche c’etait le retour a la maison. Comme on avait tout prevu, on s’est garde quelques Geocaches pour le chemin du retour. La temperature etait pas mal meilleure que samedi. On a trouve 10 autres Geocaches durant le trajet du retour.</em></p>
<p><em>En fin de compte, une bonne fin de semaine de Geocaching, on devrait faire ca plus souvent.</em></p>
<p><em>Sur une autre note, je viens tout juste de trouver ce site web qui s&#8217;appelle «Playing for change&#8221; Jouer pour le change/changement, vous pouvez le trouver a l&#8217;adresse suivante:</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here I am, at the airport in St John’s waiting for my plane, it is Thursday afternoon and my plane is not leaving before 05:00pm.. I have 2 hours to kill so I decided to write up some of my blog. I have been away from home since Tuesday. Tuesday and Wednesday I had a course in Corner Brook and then on Wednesday in the afternoon took a plane from Deer Lake to St John’s. The reason I am in St John’s is that I had to testify in supreme court this morning. So when I arrived yesterday, I had a meeting with the lawyer for about one hour, it gave us a chance to review the case. The worst part in all this is that I was on the stand for about 45 minutes giving evidences. 2 days of travel for 45 minutes on the stand. Oh well&#8230;</p>
<p><img alt="airport.jpg" id="image442" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/airport.jpg" /><br />
For a change the weather was nice the last few days, we even saw blue sky, this is quite something different lately however he had extreme cold weather.</p>
<p>There is not much new in the past weeks because of all this travel. Other than spending several days in hotels and eating in restaurant. I can’t wait to get back home in my stuff and not have to live out of a suitcase.</p>
<p>I just found out earlier today that I might be going to Niagara Falls in April for the National Canadian DARE conference. It is not sure yet, but there are some good chances that it will happen. I will have to find out about all this when I go back to work. I will let you know when I find out.</p>
<p>Today the RCMP members in Rocky Harbour (minus me, I am in St John’s) were having a hockey game against the high school students. My understanding from talking to Lucie last night is that Vincent might be doing the Safety bear during the event. Hopefully Lucie will attend the game and we will have some photos to show you.</p>
<p>That is it, at least that occupied some of my waiting time here in the airport. By the time I will publish this update I hope that I will have photos to add to it.</p>
<p>The other day I found a nice little program on the interenet, it is called poladroid. It is a small program to make polaroid from digital photos. Lots of fun! You can have a look or download the software at : http://www.poladroid.net/</p>
<p>This is it, I am now back home. I worked today and just taking the time tonight to finish this update. Unfortunately we have no photos of the hockey game or of Vincent as the safety bear. Lucie had a busy day and had to take Alain to the hospital, at the time they suspected that he might have broken a finger again. But it turns out it wasn&#8217;t broken.</p>
<p>Good thing is that I have to work only one more day and then I am off for 4, not sure yet what I will be doing, hopefully relax and take it easy.</p>
<p><em>Je suis presentement a l’‘aeroport a St Jean a attendre mon avion. C&#8217;est Jeudi apres midi et mon avion ne part pas avant 05h00 heures .. J&#8217;ai donc 2 heures a attendre alors j’ai decide d’ecrire mon blog. Je suis parti de la maison depuis mardi. Mardi et mercredi, je me suis ramasse a Corner Brook a suivre un cour, ensuite Mercredi j’ai pris l&#8217;avion a Deer Lake pour St Jean. Le pourquoi du voyage a St-Jean? Je devais temoigner en Cour Supreme ce matin. Donc des que je suis arrive a St Jean je me suis ramasse au bureau de l’avocat et on a discute de l’evenement pendant environ une heure. Le pire dans tout ca c’est que mon temoingnage n’a dure que 45 minutes. 2 jours de voyage pour 45 minutes de t/moignage, et bien en tout cas&#8230;</em></p>
<p><img alt="airport.jpg" id="image442" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/airport.jpg" /></p>
<p><em>Pour faire changement on a eu du beau temps ces dernier jours, on a meme vu du ciel bleu, c’est pas mal different surtout apres toute la neige qu’on a eu. Malheureusement il faisait froid.</em></p>
<p><em>Il n&#8217;y a pas grand chose de nouveau depuis la semaine derniere, surtout a cause du voyage. A part du fait que j’ai passe plusieurs jours dans des hotels et a manger du restaurant a tous les jours. J’ai bien hate de retourner a la maison et de me retrouver dans mes affaires et ne pas a vivre de mes valises.</em></p>
<p><em>Je viens d’apprendre un peu plus tot aujourd&#8217;hui, que je vais peut-etre aller a Niagara Falls au mois d’avril pour une conference Canadienne de DARE. Ca a l’air que j’ai des bonnes chances, des que j’ai des nouvelles je vais vous le laisser savoir.</em></p>
<p><em>Aujourd&#8217;hui, les membres de la GRC de Rocky Harbour (moins moi, je suis à St John&#8217;s) ont eu un match de hockey contre les eleves de l’ecole secondaire. Si j’ai bien compris, apres avoir parle a Lucie hier soir, c’est Vincent qui va faire le Safety Bear. En esperant que Lucie va y aller et prendre quelques photos, surtout de Vincent en Safety Bear.</em></p>
<p><em>Tout ca vient de m’occupper un peu en attendant pour mon vol. Des que je reviens a la maison je vais publier mon blog et j’aurai peut-etre quelques photos a ajouter.</em></p>
<p><em>Avant de partir&#8230;. L&#8217;autre jour, j&#8217;ai trouvé un petit programme d’ordinateur sur l’ internet. Le programme s’appelle poladroid. Il vous permet de prendre des photos numeriques et de faire des polaroids avec. Pas mal le fun. Aller voir les details a: http://www.poladroid.net/</em></p>
<p><em>Ça y est, je suis arrive a la maison. J’ai travaille aujourd&#8217;hui et ce soir je finis d’ecrire le blog. Malheureusement on n&#8217;a pas de photo de Vincent en Safety Bear. Lucie a ete pas mal occuppee le jour de la partie de hockey, elle a du emmener Alain a l’hopital. Il s’est fait mal au doigt et tout le monde pensait qu’il etait casse encore. Bonne nouvelle il n&#8217;est pas casse.</em></p>
<p><em>Bon une autre journee de travail et ensuite je suis en conge pour 4 jours. Je ne sais pas encore ce que je vais faire, j’espere que je vais prendre ca relaxe et me la couler douce. </em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Unfortunately my vacation is over and it is back to work. We had a good 3 weeks, all nice weather with only one day of rain during the vacation. It was sunny and extremely hot, maybe not hotter than usual for Quebec, maybe it&#8217;s just that we&#8217;re not used to the warm and humid weather anymore.</p>
<p>So we are all back home and this update is going to be a little longer than usual as I am going to tell you what we did during the past 3 weeks. So here we go:</p>
<p>Monday, July 16, departure</p>
<p>Worked all day. When the shift was over, I then went up and started packing. Everybody else was packed and ready to go, they were just waiting for me. So we were all done at around 05:00pm and that is exactly when we left. We went directly to Port-Aux-Basques. As usual the weather in Port-Aux-Basques was foggy. We arrived there at around 10:00pm. This was the first highlight of the vacation for the kids. Seeing the ferry arriving through the fog. I don’t think they realized that the boat was that big. The boat left the harbour at around 12:30am. As soon as we got on the boat, we took a few minutes to look around with the children, then we went to the cabin and settled down for the night. We were a little apprehensive as we didn’t know if they would be sick or not and if they would sleep or not. But as soon as they hit the pillow they went to dreamland. We had a nice ride that went well.</p>
<p>Tuesday, July 17, travel</p>
<p>we arrived in North Sidney at around 07:30, Nova Scotia time, ½ difference with Newfoundland. We drove all day, along the way we found 5 geocaches.</p>

<p>The kids were perfect, I couldn’t ask for better, not a complaint, not a sound, they really surprised me. Especially if you consider that we drove for 15 hrs. We arrived in Quebec city at around 10:30pm. By that time the van was giving us some problems and it was really time to get in. We had a little chat with my mother and my sister Maud and went to bed as I was exhausted from all that driving.</p>
<p>Wednesday, July 18</p>
<p>First thing that day, after chatting a while with my mother was to get to the garage and get the van fixed. There was no way I was going to Montreal with a van that kept dying at every street corner. The garage did not have the piece that was required so they had to order it for me. The rest of the day was spend chatting with my mother, lot of things to talk about when you haven’t seen each other in 12 years. During the evening all of us and my sister went to the Mountain Equipment Co-op. It is a big store specialized in outdoor equipment. This includes kayak, so you know that I had to have a look around.</p>
<p>Thursday, July 19</p>
<p>First thing of the day again was to go back to the garage. The van was fixed in no time, took a chunk out of our vacation money, but we still needed to get around. In the afternoon we all went to Trois-Rivieres, the kids, lucie and my mother. Trois-Rivieres is about 1.5hrs from Quebec City. We went to a little kayak shop and bought a kayak for Lucie and all the equipment required. The funny part while in Trois-Rivieres is I got lost (go figure) so I stopped at a convenience store to ask for directions (yes I am a man and can still ask for directions) while in the store I met someone from Carbonear, Newfoundland. I was so happy to be in Quebec and be able to go around without people recognizing me for a change, but then, it is a small world after all. The rest of the vacation were without surprises and I was able to go incognito. During the night we went in old Quebec and had a nice walk around. That was kind of nice, the last time I was there was for the Quebec Carnival many many years ago and to tell you the truth I don’t remember much of it.</p>

<p>Fiday, July 20th</p>
<p>That was it, the rainy day. Along with my sister we spend the day in a big huge shopping mall. It took us most of the day to be able to get around. There were a lot of people in there, the most I have seen in years in one place.</p>
<p>During the evening we went to Lucie’s brother Alain who lives in Lac Beauport, 30 minutes away from Quebec.</p>
<p>Saturday, July 21</p>
<p>Maud&#8217;s boyfriend came down to Quebec and we had a chance to finally meet Yann. Maud had talked about him in the past, this time it was time to meet face to face. The night before it was decided that we were all going to go do Tree to Trees, this is an exercise trail that is constructed in the trees. This is on one of the ski slopes. We had lots of fun, it was physical and it is when I do stuff like this that I realize that I am not a teenager anymore. We were all there except for my mother. Maud and Yann, Alain and his wife Louise and their 2 children.</p>

<p>After that we all went to Alain&#8217;s and had a nice BBQ, I need to get his recipe for his BBQ salmon, it was excellent. The kids had a good time in the pool, while we, the adults, were chatting.</p>
<p><a class="imagelink" title="imgp3891.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/imgp3891.jpg"><img id="image377" height="96" alt="imgp3891.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/imgp3891.thumbnail.jpg" /></a><a class="imagelink" title="imgp3898.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/imgp3898.jpg"><img id="image378" height="96" alt="imgp3898.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/imgp3898.thumbnail.jpg" /></a><a class="imagelink" title="imgp3899.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/imgp3899.jpg"><img id="image379" height="96" alt="imgp3899.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/imgp3899.thumbnail.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Shortly after supper we went to lac Beauport and Alain had a chance to try our kayak. This was a first for him and I believe he really enjoyed that.</p>
<p><a class="imagelink" title="dsc_2310.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/dsc_2310.jpg"><img id="image380" height="85" alt="dsc_2310.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/dsc_2310.thumbnail.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Sunday, July 22</p>
<p>We had a brunch at my mother&#8217;s, The day before was her birthday and everyone came. Basically the same people as the day before. After that we all went to the aquarium of Quebec and had a really good day. We then spent the evening relaxing at Alain&#8217;s. The kids took advantage of the swimming pool once more.</p>
<p><a class="imagelink" title="dsc_2346.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/dsc_2346.jpg"><img id="image381" height="85" alt="dsc_2346.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/dsc_2346.thumbnail.jpg" /></a><a class="imagelink" title="dsc_2380.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/dsc_2380.jpg"><img id="image382" height="85" alt="dsc_2380.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/dsc_2380.thumbnail.jpg" /></a><a class="imagelink" title="dsc_2442.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/dsc_2442.jpg"><img id="image383" height="85" alt="dsc_2442.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/dsc_2442.thumbnail.jpg" /></a><a class="imagelink" title="dsc_2443.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/dsc_2443.jpg"><img id="image384" height="85" alt="dsc_2443.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/dsc_2443.thumbnail.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Monday, July 23</p>
<p>We all packed and we went to Montreal. We went to Lucie&#8217;s sister, Sylvie. I had a chance to meet her boyfriend Michel. We stayed quiet for the rest of the day and we had some cake as it was my niece&#8217;s Melissa&#8217;s birthday.</p>
<p>Tuesday, July 24</p>
<p>This was back to memory lane day. I took the kids and showed them where I went to school, where I worked, where I lived when I was a kid, ect and then we went to the mall and had dinner at Chez Gerard (poutine and hot dogs). During the evening I met with an old friend of mine, Andre and we had a good chat.</p>
<p>Wednesday, July 25</p>
<p>This was another first for the kids, we took the subway and went to the old Montreal, walked a bit around, had ice cream and came back.</p>
<p>During the evening we went to another good friend of mine, Berthe and again we had a good chat talking about the past.</p>
<p>Thursday, July 26</p>
<p>Oh well things happen, I missed one stair and ended up breaking my small toe. It became black and blue and about twice its original size. Unfortunatly there are nothing they can do for a broken toe. Had to suffer for a while.</p>
<p>We then packed again and moved to Michel&#8217;s residence (Lucie&#8217;s brother), the kids were happy as they spent most of the afternoon in the pool. For the evening we went to another brother-in-law, Yvon and we had supper there.</p>
<p>Friday, July 27</p>
<p>Again the kids, especially Alain had a good time in the pool. In the meantime I initiated my brother-in-law to geocaching. We found 3 that day and he really enjoyed that.</p>
<p><a class="imagelink" title="imgp3931.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/imgp3931.jpg"><img id="image385" height="96" alt="imgp3931.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/imgp3931.thumbnail.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>We finished the day with supper at Jacinthe&#8217;s (sister-in-law).  During the evening I mentioned that I wanted to hear some new french music and Catherine (one my niece) was kind enough to bring a cd. She gave me her CD at the end of the evening and I thought that was really nice, thanks Catherine. I will return the favor and will send you some newfie music when I get around to it&#8230;.</p>
<p>Hey I got a nice birthday cake too and a gift!  Thanks Jacinthe!</p>
<p><a class="imagelink" title="dsc_8225.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/dsc_8225.jpg"><img id="image386" height="85" alt="dsc_8225.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/dsc_8225.thumbnail.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Saturday, July 28</p>
<p>Spend the day quiet, relax and had supper at Michel. We finished the evening watching a movie.</p>
<p>Sunday, July 29</p>
<p>We went shopping once more, last chance to get in the crowd. In the afternoon I went geocaching with Michel and we found 2 more. The evening was spend at another brother-in-law, Remi who invited us for supper.</p>
<p>Monday, July 30</p>
<p>This is when the real vacation started, by that I mean the real vacation for us. I enjoyed seeing everybody but for the past 2 weeks the only thing we did was running around just to do that see everybody. We left for Mont-Laurier to spend the last week with Lucie’s parent. They have a nice piece of land in the middle of the woods with a little pond on it. Quiet and relax</p>
<p>Tuesday, July 31</p>
<p>we went to the beach with the kids and I spent the day fishing at the pond. We tried to find some geocaches but without success. Did I say I went fishing?</p>
<p><a class="imagelink" title="dsc_8354.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/dsc_8354.jpg"><img id="image387" height="85" alt="dsc_8354.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/dsc_8354.thumbnail.jpg" /></a><a class="imagelink" title="dsc_2662.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/dsc_2662.jpg"><img id="image388" height="85" alt="dsc_2662.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/dsc_2662.thumbnail.jpg" /></a><a class="imagelink" title="dsc_8356.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/dsc_8356.jpg"><img id="image389" height="85" alt="dsc_8356.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/dsc_8356.thumbnail.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Wednesday, August 1st</p>
<p>We left the kids to the grand-parents and we went for a 2 days kayak trip. Lucie had to try her new kayak. We went to the Resevoir Kyamika. That was a nice break from everything and chance to enjoy the big out there.</p>
<p><a class="imagelink" title="imgp3984.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/imgp3984.jpg"><img id="image390" height="96" alt="imgp3984.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/imgp3984.thumbnail.jpg" /></a><a class="imagelink" title="imgp3986.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/imgp3986.jpg"><img id="image391" height="96" alt="imgp3986.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/imgp3986.thumbnail.jpg" /></a><a class="imagelink" title="imgp4130.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/imgp4130.jpg"><img id="image392" height="94" alt="imgp4130.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/imgp4130.thumbnail.jpg" /></a><a class="imagelink" title="imgp4147.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/imgp4147.jpg"><img id="image393" height="96" alt="imgp4147.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/imgp4147.thumbnail.jpg" /></a><a class="imagelink" title="imgp4200.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/imgp4200.jpg"><img id="image394" height="95" alt="imgp4200.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/imgp4200.thumbnail.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Thursday, August 2</p>
<p>We finished our trip, in total we did 20 km of kayak. I must say I had a good time. But all good things have to end so we came back and cleaned up all our gear. I had promised Alain that on the way back we would spend a night by the pond and would do some fishing. So we did that.</p>
<p>Friday, August 3</p>
<p>Early in the morning me and Alain went fishing. Then in the afternoon we went back to the beach with the kids. During the evening we went fishing again and had a nice campfire. Lucie and Kim slept by the pond that night.</p>
<p><a class="imagelink" title="imgp3961.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/imgp3961.jpg"><img id="image395" height="96" alt="imgp3961.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/imgp3961.thumbnail.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Saturday, August 4</p>
<p>That day I went for a walk and did all the trails on the in-laws&#8217; land. I took a lot of photos. For the past 2 weeks I took a lot of pictures and will probably spend a lot of time getting them ready to put on the net. Then I did some fishing and spent another night by the pond. During the day, Benoit, Lucie’s brother came to visit. He was the last one of Lucie&#8217;s family that we hadn’t seen</p>
<p>Sunday, August 05</p>
<p>We spend the morning packing as the vacation was getting to an end. In the afternoon we left and travelled to Quebec city where we spent the night at my mother&#8217;s.</p>
<p>Monday, August 06</p>
<p>We travelled all day, another 14 hrs of travel. We left in the morning and arrived at the ferry at 03:00am.</p>
<p>Tuesday, August 07</p>
<p>We were on the ferry all day. That was nice at it was a day crossing and the kids had a chance to go all over the ship. We arrived in Port-Aux-Basques at around 03:00pm and from there went directly home. 5hrs drive. Upon arrival home we had to clean the house as the dog had made messes all over the place.</p>

<p>Wednesday, August 08</p>
<p>Last day of vacation. Just trying to get back in the routine. The worst part is that I am working tomorrow&#8230;</p>
<p><a class="imagelink" title="dsc_2928.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/dsc_2928.jpg"><img id="image397" height="85" alt="dsc_2928.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/dsc_2928.thumbnail.jpg" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Malheureusement mes vacances sont finies et c’est deja le retour au travail. On as eu 3 bonnes semaines, la temperature a ete de notre coté avec juste une journee de pluie. Il a fait chaud et extrêmement chaud, peut-être pas plus chaud que d’habitude pour le Québec, peut-être que c’est juste qu&#8217;on n&#8217;est plus habitué au temps chaud et humide.</p>
<p>Donc on est tous revenu a la maison, cette mise a jour va etre un peu plus long que d’habitude car je vais vous raconter tout ce qu&#8217;on a fait les 3 dernieres semaines. Donc on y va:</p>
<p>Lundi 16 juillet, départ</p>
<p>J’ai travaillé toute la journee. A la fin de mon shift, je suis parti a la maison et j’ai commencé a pacquetter mes affaires. Tout le monde etait pret et m&#8217;attendait. A 5:00pm on etait enfin pret et on est parti pour Port-Aux-Basques. Comme d&#8217;habitude il y avait de la brume a Port-Aux-Basques. On est arrivé vers 10:00 pm. C&#8217;était le premier point culminant des vacances pour les enfants. Voir le traversier arriver dans le brouillard. Je ne pense pas qu&#8217;ils s’attendaient à ce que le bateau soit si grand. On a quitté le quai a environ 12:30am. Dès que nous sommes montés a bord on a pris quelques minutes pour visiter le bateau avec les enfants, ensuite on a ete dans notre cabine et on s’est preparé pour la nuit. J’avais peur un peu que les enfants soient malades ou qu’ils ne dorment pas. Mais aussitot qu’ils sont mis la tete sur l’oreiller ils se sont endormis. La traversée s’est bien passé.</p>
<p>Mardi 17 juillet, voyage</p>
<p>On est arrivé a Nord-Sidney a environ 07:30, ½ heure de difference entre Terre-Neuve et la Nouvelle-Écosse. On a conduit toute la journee, en cours de route on a trouvé 5 geocaches.</p>
<p><a class="imagelink" title="dsc_7859.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/dsc_7859.jpg"><img id="image343" height="85" alt="dsc_7859.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/dsc_7859.thumbnail.jpg" /></a><a class="imagelink" title="dsc_8255.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/dsc_8255.jpg"><img id="image344" height="85" alt="dsc_8255.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/dsc_8255.thumbnail.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Les enfants ont été parfaits, je ne pouvais pas demander mieux, pas une plainte, pas un soupir, ils nous ont vraiment étonné. Particulièrement si vous considérez que nous avons conduit pendant 15 heures. Nous sommes arrivés a Québec à environ 10:30pm. À ce moment-là la van commencait a nous donner du trouble et il était vraiment temps qu&#8217;on arrive. On a jasé un peu avec ma mere et ma soeur Maud et ensuite on a ete se coucher car j’etais crevé de ma journee de conduite.</p>
<p>Mercredi 18 juillet</p>
<p>La première chose a faire apres une jasette avec ma mere a ete d’emmener la van au garage. Une chose était certaine. je n’allais pas conduire a Montreal avec une van qui étouffe a chaque coin de rue. Le garage n’avait pas la piece, donc ils l&#8217;ont commandé. On a passé le reste de la journee a jaser avec ma mere, c’est fou combien on a a dire quand on n&#8217;a pas vu quelqun pour 12 ans.  Durant la soiree on a ete a Montain equipment coop avec ma soeur. C&#8217;est un grand magasin spécialisé dans l&#8217;équipement de plein air. Ca inclut le kayak, c’est sur que j’avais a aller faire un tour.</p>
<p>Jeudi 19 juillet</p>
<p>Autre visite au garage en commençant la journée. La van a ete reparée en un rien de temps, ca a fait une coche dans notre argent de vacances mais on devait bien se deplacer. Dans l’après-midi on est aller a Trois-Rivieres, les enfants, Lucie et ma mère. Trois-Rivieres est a peu pres a 1.5hrs de conduite de la ville du Québec. On est allé a un petit magasin de kayak et on a acheté un Kayak a Lucie et tout l’equipement requis. La partie la plus drole c’est que pendant qu&#8217;on etait a Trois-Rivieres je me suis perdu. (Et oui ca arrive!) Donc j’ai arreter dans un depanneur pour demander des directions (oui je suis un homme et je suis capable de demander des directions) pendant que j’etais dans le depanneur j&#8217;ai rencontré quelqu&#8217;un de Carbonear, Terre-Neuve. J&#8217;étais si heureux d’etre au Québec et de pouvoir me promener sans rencontrer du monde que je connais, mais ça a l&#8217;air que c&#8217;est un petit monde après tous. Le reste des vacances se sont passé sans surprise et j&#8217;ai pu demeurer incognito. Durant la soiree on a ete dans le Vieux Quebec, ca a ete le fun, surtout que la derniere fois que j’etais la c’etait durant le carnaval de Quebec il y a pas mal d’annees et pour tout dire je m‘en rappelle pas tellement.</p>

<p>Vendredi, 20 juillet</p>
<p>C’etait la journee de pluie, faqu&#8217;avec ma soeur on a passé la majorite de la journee dans un centre d’achats. Ca nous a pris la journee, surtout qu&#8217;il y avait pas mal de monde, on a prit un bon bain de foule. Ca faisait pas mal longtemps que je n’avais pas vu autant de monde dans un meme endroit.</p>
<p>Pendant la soirée on est allé chez le frère de Lucie, Alain qui habite au lac Beauport, 30 minutes de Québec.</p>
<p>Samedi 21 juillet</p>
<p>Le chum de Maud est venue a Québec pour la fin de semaine. On a enfin eu la chance de rencontrer Yann. Maud nous avait pas mal parlé de lui et ca a ete pas mal le fun de finallement le rencontrer. Le soir d’avant on avait tous decidé d’aller faire d’Arbre en Arbre. C’est un trajet d’hebertisme construit sur une pente de ski dans les arbres. C’etait pas pire pantoutte, c’est la que je me rend compte que je ne suis plus un adolescent. Tout le monde etait la a l’exception de ma mere, Maud et Yann, Alain et son épouse Louise et leurs 2 enfants.</p>
<p><a class="imagelink" title="imgp3814.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/imgp3814.jpg"><img id="image346" height="96" alt="imgp3814.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/imgp3814.thumbnail.jpg" /></a><a class="imagelink" title="imgp3815.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/imgp3815.jpg"><img id="image347" height="96" alt="imgp3815.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/imgp3815.thumbnail.jpg" /></a><a class="imagelink" title="imgp3868.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/imgp3868.jpg"><img id="image348" height="96" alt="imgp3868.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/imgp3868.thumbnail.jpg" /></a><a class="imagelink" title="imgp3880.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/imgp3880.jpg"><img id="image349" height="96" alt="imgp3880.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/imgp3880.thumbnail.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Ensuite on s’est tous retrouvé chez Alain et avons eu droit a un BBQ, je dois demander a Alain sa recette de saumon, il était excellent. Les enfants en ont profité pour se baigner pendant que les adultes jasaient.</p>
<p><a class="imagelink" title="imgp3891.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/imgp3891.jpg"><img id="image350" height="96" alt="imgp3891.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/imgp3891.thumbnail.jpg" /></a><a class="imagelink" title="imgp3898.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/imgp3898.jpg"><img id="image351" height="96" alt="imgp3898.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/imgp3898.thumbnail.jpg" /></a><a class="imagelink" title="imgp3899.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/imgp3899.jpg"><img id="image352" height="96" alt="imgp3899.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/imgp3899.thumbnail.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Peu de temps après le souper, nous sommes allés au lac Beauport et Alain a eu la chance d&#8217;essayer le kayak. C&#8217;était la première fois qu&#8217;il en faisait et je pense qu’il a bien aimé ca.</p>
<p><a class="imagelink" title="dsc_2310.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/dsc_2310.jpg"><img id="image353" height="85" alt="dsc_2310.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/dsc_2310.thumbnail.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Dimanche 22 juillet</p>
<p>Maud a fait un brunch pour ma mere, le jour d’avant etait son anniversaire et tout le monde est venu. En fin de compte les meme personnes que Samedi. Ensuite on est tous parti à l&#8217;aquarium de Québec et avons eu une journée bien agréable. On a fini la soiree a se detendre chez Alain. Les enfants ont encore profité de la piscine.</p>
<p><a class="imagelink" title="dsc_2346.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/dsc_2346.jpg"><img id="image354" height="85" alt="dsc_2346.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/dsc_2346.thumbnail.jpg" /></a><a class="imagelink" title="dsc_2380.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/dsc_2380.jpg"><img id="image355" height="85" alt="dsc_2380.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/dsc_2380.thumbnail.jpg" /></a><a class="imagelink" title="dsc_2442.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/dsc_2442.jpg"><img id="image356" height="85" alt="dsc_2442.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/dsc_2442.thumbnail.jpg" /></a><a class="imagelink" title="dsc_2443.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/dsc_2443.jpg"><img id="image357" height="85" alt="dsc_2443.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/dsc_2443.thumbnail.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Lundi 23 juillet</p>
<p>On a fait nos valises et on est parti pour Montréal. On est allé chez la soeur de Lucie, Sylvie. J&#8217;ai eu la chance de rencontrer son chum Michel. On est resté tranquille pour le reste de la journee et on a meme eu droit a du gateau car c’etait l&#8217;anniversaire de Melissa, ma nièce.</p>
<p>Mardi 24 juillet</p>
<p>Ca a ete un retour dans le passé. J&#8217;ai emmené les enfants et leur ai montré où je suis allé a l&#8217;école, où j&#8217;ai travaillé, où j&#8217;ai vécu quand j&#8217;étais un enfant, etc. Ensuite on a ete au centre d’achat et on a diné chez Chez Gerard (poutine et hot-dogs). Durant la soirée j&#8217;ai rencontré un bon ami à moi, André et on a pas mal jasé.</p>
<p>Mercredi 25 juillet</p>
<p>C&#8217;était encore une première pour les enfants, nous avons pris le metro et on est allé dans le vieux Montréal, on s’est promené un peu, manger une creme glacée et ensuite on est revenu.</p>
<p>Durant la soirée on est allé voir une autre bonne amie, Berthe et on a encore eu une bonne jasette.</p>
<p>Jeudi 26 juillet</p>
<p>Et bien oui ca arrive, j’etais tellement pressé de prendre mon premier café que j’ai manqué une marche dans l’escalier et je me suis cassé le petit orteil. Il est devenu noir et bleu et environ deux fois plus gros que d’habitude. Malheuresement ils ne peuvent pas faire grand chose pour un orteil cassé faque j’ai souffert en silence.<br />
On a encore fait nos valises et cette fois nous sommes allés chez Michel (le frère de Lucie), les enfants étaient heureux car il a une piscine et ils ont passé la majeure partie de l&#8217;après-midi a se baigner. En soiree on est allé chez Yvon, un autre frere a Lucie pour souper.</p>
<p>Vendredi 27 juillet</p>
<p>Les enfants ont encore une fois profité de la piscine, plus particulièrement Alain. Pendant ce temps la j’ai initié Michel au joie du geocaching. On en a trouvé 3 et il a vraiment apprécié ca.</p>
<p><a class="imagelink" title="imgp3931.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/imgp3931.jpg"><img id="image358" height="96" alt="imgp3931.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/imgp3931.thumbnail.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>On a fini la soiree en allant souper chez Jacinthe (soeur de Lucie). Durant la soirée j&#8217;ai mentionné que j’aimerais entendre de la musique Quebecoise et Catherine ( ma nièce) a etait pas mal fine et elle est partie chercher un cd. Elle me l&#8217;a donné a la fin de la soiree et j&#8217;ai trouvé ca pas mal gentil, un gros merci Catherine. Je vais te retourner la faveur et je vais t’envoyer un cd de musique de Terre-Neuve dès que j’ai une chance&#8230;</p>
<p>Hé j&#8217;ai meme eu droit a un gateau de fete et un cadeau! Merci Jacinthe et ta gang!</p>
<p><a class="imagelink" title="dsc_8225.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/dsc_8225.jpg"><img id="image359" height="85" alt="dsc_8225.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/dsc_8225.thumbnail.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Samedi 28 juillet</p>
<p>On a passé la journee a relaxer et a se detendre chez Michel. On a meme souper la et on a fini la journee a regarder un film.</p>
<p>Dimanche 29 juillet</p>
<p>Nous sommes allés faire des achats une fois de plus, dernière chance de prendre un bain de foule. L&#8217;après-midi je suis retourne trouver des geocaches avec Michel, on en a trouver 2 autres. On a passé la soiree chez Remi, un autre frere a Lucie, il nous avait invité a souper.</p>
<p>Lundi 30 juillet</p>
<p>C&#8217;est a ce moment la que les vraies vacances ont commencées, par cela je veux dire les vraies vacances pour nous. J&#8217;ai eu plaisir à voir tout le monde mais pour les 2 dernières semaines c&#8217;est la seule chose qu&#8217;on a fait ou presque. On n&#8217;a pas eu la chance de vraiment relaxer. On a fait nos valises encore et on est parti pour Mont-Laurier pour passer la derniere semaine avec les parents de Lucie. Ils ont un beau grand terrain au millieu du bois avec un beau lac. La tranquillité et la detente&#8230;</p>
<p>Mardi 31 juillet</p>
<p>On est allé a la plage avec les enfants et j&#8217;ai passé le reste de la journee au lac a pecher. On a essayer de trouver des geocaches mais sans succes. Je vous l’ai tu dit j’ai ete pecher.</p>
<p><a class="imagelink" title="dsc_8354.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/dsc_8354.jpg"><img id="image360" height="85" alt="dsc_8354.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/dsc_8354.thumbnail.jpg" /></a><a class="imagelink" title="dsc_2662.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/dsc_2662.jpg"><img id="image361" height="85" alt="dsc_2662.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/dsc_2662.thumbnail.jpg" /></a><a class="imagelink" title="dsc_8356.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/dsc_8356.jpg"><img id="image362" height="85" alt="dsc_8356.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/dsc_8356.thumbnail.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Mercredi 1er août</p>
<p>On a laissé les enfants avec les grand-parents et nous sommes alles faire un excursion en kayak pour 2 jours. Lucie a finalement eu la chance d’essayer son nouveau kayak. On est allé au Reservoir Kyamika. C’etait pas pire pantoutte et j’ai eu pas mal de fun, en plus j’ai eu la chance d’essayer tout mon nouveau stuff de camping.</p>
<p><a class="imagelink" title="imgp3984.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/imgp3984.jpg"><img id="image363" height="96" alt="imgp3984.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/imgp3984.thumbnail.jpg" /></a><a class="imagelink" title="imgp3986.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/imgp3986.jpg"><img id="image364" height="96" alt="imgp3986.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/imgp3986.thumbnail.jpg" /></a><a class="imagelink" title="imgp4130.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/imgp4130.jpg"><img id="image365" height="94" alt="imgp4130.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/imgp4130.thumbnail.jpg" /></a><a class="imagelink" title="imgp4147.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/imgp4147.jpg"><img id="image366" height="96" alt="imgp4147.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/imgp4147.thumbnail.jpg" /></a><a class="imagelink" title="imgp4200.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/imgp4200.jpg"><img id="image367" height="95" alt="imgp4200.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/imgp4200.thumbnail.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Jeudi 2 août</p>
<p>on as fini notre voyage et au total on a fait 20 kilomètres en kayak. J’ai vraiment apprecié ces 2 jours la, mais toute bonne chose a une fin. Donc on est revenu et on a tout nettoyé notre equipement. Avant de partir j&#8217;avais promis a Alain que nous passerions une nuit sur le bord du lac et qu&#8217;on pecherait tous les deux. Faque c’est ca qu’on a fait.</p>
<p><a class="imagelink" title="imgp3961.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/imgp3961.jpg"><img id="image368" height="96" alt="imgp3961.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/imgp3961.thumbnail.jpg" /></a><br />
Vendredi 3 août</p>
<p>Lever tot et Alain et moi sommes allés pecher. Dans l&#8217;après-midi on est retourné a la plage. Pendant la soirée on est encore allé pecher et on s’est fait un feu de camp. Lucie et Kim ont dormi sur le bord du lac.</p>
<p>Samedi 4 août</p>
<p>Durant la journee je me suis pas mal promené sur le terrain, dans le bois et j’ai tout plein de photos. Pour les 2 dernières semaines j&#8217;ai pris beaucoup de photos et je vais passer pas mal de temps probablement a les preparer pour les placer dans ma galerie de photos. Apres je suis retourné pecher et j’ai passé une autre nuit sur le bord du lac. Durant la journee, Benoit, le frère de Lucie est venu nous voir. Il était  le dernier de la famille de Lucie que nous n&#8217;avions pas vu encore.</p>
<p>Dimanche 5 août</p>
<p>Encore a faire des valises, c’est pas mal platte car les vacances sont presque fini. Ah oui!  J&#8217;ai peché souvent durant notre séjour à Mont-Laurier, mais sans succès&#8230;  Pas grave, c&#8217;était l&#8217;fun quand même.  L&#8217;après-midi nous sommes partis et avons voyagé jusqu&#8217;a Québec où on a passé la nuit chez ma mère.</p>
<p>Lundi 6 août</p>
<p>Nous avons voyagé toute la journée, encore 14 heures de route. Nous sommes partis le matin et sommes arrivés au traversier a 03:00 AM.</p>
<p>Mardi 7 août</p>
<p>on a passer la journee sur le traversier. On a eu une bonne traversée encore une fois et les enfants ont pu visiter le bateau un peu mieux qu&#8217;au départ. Nous sommes arrivés a Port-Aux.-Basques vers 03:00pm et de là sommes allés directement à la maison. 5 hrs de route plus tard on est finalement arrivé. A l’arrivée on a du nettoyer la maison car les chiens avaient fait pas mal de dégats.</p>

<p>Mercredi 8 août</p>
<p>Les vacances sont fini et j’essaie juste de me rehabituer a la routine. Le pire c’est que je travaille demain&#8230;</p>
<p><a class="imagelink" title="dsc_2928.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/dsc_2928.jpg"><img id="image396" height="85" alt="dsc_2928.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/dsc_2928.thumbnail.jpg" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is it, it is getting closer. Only a week, 5 shifts and I am on vacation. I just can’t wait. As usual it has been very busy the last few days at work. I was off for 4 days and had to go to work for 3, got called out twice and had to go to court to testify. So not much of days off. I am more tired going back to work then before I went on days off. So this vacation will be welcomed, first vacation in 2 years.</p>
<p>We are leaving on Monday July 16th right after work. I say we are, I mean Lucie, Alain, Kim and myself, Vincent is not coming with us, he is staying behind as he has to work. Welcome to the adult world Vincent! But as he says, another day, another dollar&#8230; We went to see him working the other day, we took the boat tour, I must say I was impressed, he is doing a terrific job, well done Vincent.</p>
<p>So here is our vacation schedule. If you want to see our travel itinerary, here is the route saved with Google earth.
<div  style="text-align: left;"  class="xmlgmdiv" id="xmlgmdiv_9"><iframe class="xmlgm" id="xmlgm_9" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/plugins/xml-google-maps/xmlgooglemaps_show.php?kmlid=9" style="border: 0px; width: 450px; height: 400px;" name="Google_KML_Maps" frameborder="0"></iframe></div>

<p>We are leaving on Monday July 16th and we are boarding the ferry at 00:00 that night. We will drive all day tuesday, 1700km. We are hoping to get to Quebec City that night. It will all depend on the children, how they are able to cope with all this travel.</p>
<p>From July 17 to July July 22 we will be near Quebec city (Charlesbourg and Lac Beauport)</p>
<p>From July 23 to July 29 we will be in Montreal, probably all over the place.</p>
<p>From July 30 to August 04th we will be in Mont-Laurier, just relaxing for a week and hopefully do some kayak.</p>
<p>August 04-05-06th will be travel back to Newfoundland, taking the ferry on August 07, day crossing, so the children will be able to enjoy the view.</p>
<p>Then August 8th is back to work.</p>
<p>This probably means that I won’t update this blog for a while and when I do I will have a lot to say and lot of photos to upload. So see you in a month when I am all relaxed, rested and with a nice tan. I hope so anyway.</p>
<p><em>Et oui, ca s&#8217;en vient, juste une autre semaine, 5 jours de travail et c’est les vacances. J&#8221;ai pas mal hate. Comme d&#8217;habitude on a ete tres occupé au travail ces dernier jours. J’avais 4 jours de congé et j’ai du travailler 3 de ces 4 jours. J’ai ete appellé 2 fois et j’ai ete en court pour temoigner un autre. Faque pas vraiment des jours de conge. Je suis plus fatigué en retournant au travail que j’etais avant les jours de conge. Donc j’ai vraiment besoin de vacances, surtout que c’est les premieres vacances en 2 ans. </em></p>
<p><em>On va partir le 16 juillet. Je dis on va partir, je veux dire Lucie, Alain, Kim et moi-meme. Vincent doit demeurer ici car il doit travailler. Bienvenue dans le monde des adultes Vincent! Mais comme il dit, un autre jour, un autre dollar… On a ete le voir travailler l’autre jour. On a fait le tour de bateau et je dois dire que j’ai ete pas mal impressionné, il fait un job pas mal epatante. </em></p>
<p><em>Voici donc notre programme de vacance. Si vous voulez voir notre itineraire, vous pouver le voir en utilisant Google Earth,

<p><em>Du 17 juillet au 22 juillet on va rester a Quebec, (Charlesbourg et au lac Beauport) </em></p>
<p><em>Du 23 juillet au 29 juillet nous serons à Montréal, probablement à courailler pour voir tout le monde.</em></p>
<p><em>Du 30 juillet au 4 août on va etre a Mont-Laurier, juste à relaxer pour une semaine et j’espere faire du kayak. </em></p>
<p><em>4/5/6 août va etre le voyage de retour a Terre Neuve. On va prendre le traversier le 07 aout, traverse de jour, comme ca les enfants vont pouvoir apprecier le traversier et la mer. Apres ca le 8 aout c’est le retour au travail. Je vais probablement pas pouvoir mettre mon blog a jour durant cette periode donc quand je vais revenir je vais avoir beaucoup a raconter et je vais avoir tout plein de photos. Je vais donc vous voir dans un mois, tout detendu, reposé et peut-etre avec un peu de bronzage. Tout du moins j’espere.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Where to start? Just came back this morning, early this morning. As I have mentioned in my last update I was in St John’s since last wednesday.</p>
<p>Vincent and I left last Wednesday at around 10:30am. The trip went well.</p>
<p><a class="imagelink" title="2007-05-06_214258.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/2007-05-06_214258.jpg"><img id="image198" height="86" alt="2007-05-06_214258.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/2007-05-06_214258.thumbnail.jpg" /></a> </p>
<p>I had taken some coordinates for geocaching along the way. I had 4 altogether put in my gps but we found 2. I don’t know where the other 2 were, we searched and searched but did not find them. But it still was quite enjoyable and gave us little breaks along the way. Just enough to stretch and walk a bit. During the whole trip we saw only one moose and it was just after we left in Gros Morne park.</p>
<p><a class="imagelink" title="kellys-cache-vincent.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/kellys-cache-vincent.jpg"><img id="image204" height="96" alt="kellys-cache-vincent.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/kellys-cache-vincent.thumbnail.jpg" /></a><a class="imagelink" title="kellys-cache-marc.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/kellys-cache-marc.jpg"><img id="image203" height="96" alt="kellys-cache-marc.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/kellys-cache-marc.thumbnail.jpg" /></a></p>
<p><a class="imagelink" title="moose-cache-4.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/moose-cache-4.jpg"><img id="image205" height="96" alt="moose-cache-4.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/moose-cache-4.thumbnail.jpg" /></a><a class="imagelink" title="moose-cache-1.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/moose-cache-1.jpg"><img id="image202" height="96" alt="moose-cache-1.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/moose-cache-1.thumbnail.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>With all that it took us 9hrs to arrive in Harbour Grace. Upon arrival we just crashed in our hotel room and took it easy.</p>
<p>The next day (thursday) I had court. Vincent stayed in the hotel room and I went to the courthouse. I stayed there all day and finally did not give my testimony. Long boring day, just waiting around to be called to testify and nothing happened.</p>
<p>That evening we went to the SPLASH center just to say hi to a few people. Right after that we went to the Harbour Grace air field. This is a historical air field used by Amelia Earhart (<a href="http://www.ameliaearhart.com/home.php">http://www.ameliaearhart.com/home.php</a>) during the famous airplane trip. We went there as I knew there was a geocache, however I did not have the coordinates in my gps, the result is that we did not find it. Oh well&#8230;.</p>
<p>After that we went for a nice supper at the hotel. It was on of those rare time that Vincent did not finish is plate. I must say we ate a lot.</p>
<p><a class="imagelink" title="imgp2395.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/imgp2395.jpg"><img id="image199" height="96" alt="imgp2395.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/imgp2395.thumbnail.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Next day (friday) was back to court, same scenario, spent the day waiting and did not take the stand. This means that I will have to go back in September for the continuation of the trial.</p>
<p>Saturday morning we got up early, too early if you ask me, 05:30am. The reason is we had to be in St John’s by 08:30am. It is not only the travel but we had to pack everything again and clean the room. We arrived at the Capital Hotel way ahead of time, if I had known that I would have slept in&#8230;. Vincent registered and then he did his speech. He was the last one to make his presentation. Although he was nervous and forgot a small part of his speech he did a really good job. I am very proud of him, doing a presentation in front of all these strangers in his second language is quite impressive in my book.</p>
<p>After that we had the afternoon off until the banquet later in the evening. So we took advantage that we were in the big city and went for a little shopping. Go figure we weren&#8217;t too far from the kayak store, I had to go and browse around. Bought a few new things for my kayak. A car roof and some wet suit shoes.</p>
<p>Then we went to the banquet. This went well, unfortunately Vincent did not made it to the National. That did not matter as I am still very much proud of what he did. However, one good thing came out of all that, one men from Rocky Harbour was there as his daughter was competing as well. He offered a summer job for Vincent as an interpreter on the Western Brook tour boat. He will go and see him later this week. One of the main reason for the offer is the fact that Vincent is fluent in both languages. Cool isn’t it? So after a nice meal, we both decided to make it back home the same night.</p>
<p><a class="imagelink" title="imgp2401.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/imgp2401.jpg"><img id="image206" height="96" alt="imgp2401.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/imgp2401.thumbnail.jpg" /></a><a class="imagelink" title="imgp2411.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/imgp2411.jpg"><img id="image207" height="96" alt="imgp2411.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/imgp2411.thumbnail.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>We left St John’s at 09:15pm and arrived in Rocky Harbour at 05:00 am. We thought that this way we would avoid all the traffic and take it easy all the way in. We did avoid the traffic, but we had snow all the way. Enough to not be able to put the high beam on. We saw a moose, very close, and it was fortunate that there was another car coming the other way at the time, because if it hadn&#8217;t been the case I would not have seen him in time. The car&#8217;s headlight just silhouetted him, it was kind of spooky, like a x-files effect. The only thing that came out of my mouth at the time was oh shit&#8230;&#8230;&#8230; But we were able to avoid him. For the rest of the trip we slowed down, at least until my heartbeat came back to normal.</p>
<p>We saw 8 more just a few kilometers from home, all in the park.</p>
<p>I slept most of the day today, picking up the lost sleep from the last few weeks. I am finally off after 17 days work in a row. I am off for the next 12 days, they owe me quite a few. I am planning a few things during these few days off, first and foremost, relax, then doing some kayak, going on some trails, doing some geocaching and taking a lot of photos, doing more time lapse, busy schedule.</p>
<p>This afternoon while checking my e-mail, I found out that some new people had registered to my blog. It is cool that people register to my blog, even if it&#8217;s not advertised that much. Sometimes I just wonder how I&#8217;m found. I also got some news from someone that I knew long time ago. That person found me with my blog. I used to be a scout leader way, way back, we are talking close to 20-30 years ago, wow how old I am? Don’t answer&#8230;  That is fine&#8230; He was then a scout with me. It&#8217;s really nice to hear from you Stephane. It did bring back some very good memories.</p>
<p>So that is all the news, I am going to crash on the couch tonight and watch a movie that the kids had rented yesterday. Will tell you more about it tomorrow.<br />

<p><em>Et bien par ou commencer ? On est revenu tres tot ce matin. Comme j&#8217;ai mentionné dans ma dernière mise à jour j&#8217;étais a St Jean depuis mercredi passé. </em></p>
<p><em>Vincent et moi sommes donc parti mercredi dernier à environ 10:30 AM. Le voyage s’est bien deroulé. </em></p>
<p><em><a class="imagelink" title="2007-05-06_214258.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/2007-05-06_214258.jpg"><img id="image198" height="86" alt="2007-05-06_214258.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/2007-05-06_214258.thumbnail.jpg" /></a> </em></p>
<p><em>J&#8217;avais sauvé quelques coordonnees de geocaching dans mon gps pour le voyage. En tout j’en avais sauvé 4 mais en fin de compte on en a trouvé juste 2. Je ne sais pas trop où les autres 2 sont, nous avons cherché et cherché partout et on les a pas trouvés. Mais ca a été pas mal le fun, au moins ca nous a fait sortir de l’auto un peu, prendre l’air et nous degourdir. Durant tout le voyage on as vu juste un orignal et c’etait juste un peu apres la maison dans le parc de Gros Morne. </em></p>

<p><a class="imagelink" title="moose-cache-4.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/moose-cache-4.jpg"><img id="image205" height="96" alt="moose-cache-4.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/moose-cache-4.thumbnail.jpg" /></a><a class="imagelink" title="moose-cache-1.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/moose-cache-1.jpg"><img id="image202" height="96" alt="moose-cache-1.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/moose-cache-1.thumbnail.jpg" /></a></p>
<p><em>Ca nous a pris 9hrs de route pour arriver a Harbour Grace. En arrivant on s’est juste ecrasé dans notre chambre d’hotel et on se l’est coulé douce. </em></p>
<p><em>Le jour suivant (jeudi) j&#8217;ai eu de la court. Vincent est resté dans la chambre d&#8217;hôtel et je suis allé au tribunal. Je suis resté là toute la journée et finalement n&#8217;ai pas temoigner. Un jour long et ennuyeux, passé a attendre pour se faire appeler a témoigner et rien ne s&#8217;est produit. </em></p>
<p><em>Durant la soiree, nous sommes allés au centre SPLASH  juste pour dire salut à quelques amis. Tout de suite apres nous sommes allé a la piste d’atterissage de Harbour Grace. Vraiment c’est juste un grand champ, mais c’est un lieu historique qui a ete utilisé par Amelia Earhart ( </em><a href="http://www.ameliaearhart.com/home.php"><em>http://www.ameliaearhart.com/home.php</em></a><em> ) pendant son voyage d’avion celebre. Nous sommes allés là juste par ce que je savais qu’il y avait une geocache, mais je n’avais pas pris les coordonnées dans mon GPS, ca fait qu&#8217;on ne l&#8217;a pas trouvé. </em></p>
<p><em>Ensuite on est retourné a l’hotel et on a eu un tres bon souper. Je pense que c’est la premiere fois que Vincent n’as pas fini toute son assiette. il faut dire qu&#8217;il y en avait pas mal. </em></p>
<p><a class="imagelink" title="imgp2395.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/imgp2395.jpg"><img id="image199" height="96" alt="imgp2395.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/imgp2395.thumbnail.jpg" /></a></p>
<p><em>Le jour suivant (vendredi) de retour a la court, même scénario que jeudi, j’ai passe la journee a attendre et en fin de compte je n’ai meme pas temoigner. Faque je doit y retourner au mois de septembre pour la continuation du proces. </em></p>
<p><em>Samedi matin nous nous sommes levés tôt, trop tôt si vous me demandez mon avis, 05:30 AM. La raison est que l&#8217;on devait etre a St Jean a 08:30 AM. C&#8217;est pas seulement le voyage, mais on avait aussi a tout repaquetter et a nettoyer la chambre d’hotel un peu. Nous sommes arrivés a St-Jean pas mal en avance, si j&#8217;avais su, j&#8217;aurais dormi un peu plus tard&#8230; Vincent s&#8217;est enregistré pour le concours oratoire et ensuite il a fait son discours. Il était le dernier a faire sa presentation.. Il etait tres nerveux et il a oublié quelques passages, mais malgre tout il a tres bien fait . Je suis pas mal fier de lui, le fait de faire une presentation devant tout plein d’etrangers et en plus de la faire dans sa langue seconde c’est pas mal impressionnant. </em></p>
<p><em>Après son discours, nous avons eu l&#8217;après-midi libre, car le banquet etait juste dans la soiree. On en a profité pour aller faire quelques achats en ville. C’est pas mal drole comment le hasard fait bien les choses. On etait juste a coté du magasin de kayak. J’ai pas eu le choix, il as fallu que j’aille faire un tour. Je me suis acheté quelques accessoires pour mon kayak. Une paire de botte hypothermique et un rack pour le toit de la van. </em></p>
<p><em>Apres tout ca on est allé au banquet. Ca a bien ete, malheureusement Vincent n’a pas gagné. C’est pas vraiment important car je suis toujours aussi fier de ce qu&#8217;il a fait. Il y a quand meme une bonne chose qui est arrivé, il y avait un homme de Rocky Harbour au concours car sa fille etait une des concurrentes. Il a offert un travail d&#8217;été a Vincent en tant qu&#8217;interprète sur le bateau de Western Brook. Vincent va le rencontrer plus tard cette semaine pour une entrevue. Une des raisons que le monsieur est interessé par Vincent est le fait qu&#8217;il est fluent en anglais et en français.  Apres un bon repas, on a decidé de retourner a Rocky Harbour tout de suite apres le banquet. </em></p>
<p><em> <a class="imagelink" title="imgp2401.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/imgp2401.jpg"><img id="image206" height="96" alt="imgp2401.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/imgp2401.thumbnail.jpg" /></a><a class="imagelink" title="imgp2411.jpg" href="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/imgp2411.jpg"><img id="image207" height="96" alt="imgp2411.jpg" src="http://www.finfond.net/marc/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/imgp2411.thumbnail.jpg" /></a></em></p>
<p><em>On est donc parti de St-Jean a 09:15 P.M. et on est arrivé a Rocky Harbour a 05:00 AM. On s’est dit que comme ca on allait eviter tout le traffic. On a eu droit a de la neige tout le long du voyage, assez de neige pour ne pas pouvoir mettre les phares a haute intensité. On a vu un orignal de tres pres. On a ete chanceux car juste comme on arrivait sur lui une voiture est arrivé en sens opposé. Les phares de cette auto là m&#8217;ont permis de le voir juste en silhouette au millieu de la route. Ca a fait pas mal fantasmagorique, genre effets a la X-Files. La seule chose qui est sortie de ma bouche a ete Oh shit&#8230;&#8230;. Mais on a ete capable de l’eviter. Pour le reste du voyage j’ai ralenti un peu, du moins jusqu&#8217;à ce que mes battements de coeur soientt revenus a une vitesse normal. </em></p>
<p><em>On en a vu 8 autres a quelques kilomètres de la maison, tous dans le parc. </em></p>
<p><em>J&#8217;ai passé la presque toute la journee a dormir dimanche, passé a recuperer le sommeil perdu durant les dernières semaines. Je suis finalement en conge. Après 17 jours de travail en ligne, j’ai finalement 12 jours de conge. </em></p>
<p><em>Je pense que je vais essayer de faire quelques affaires durant ces journees de conge&#8230;  En premier lieu, me detendre, et bien sur faire du kayak, aller faire des sentiers, faire un peu de geocaching et prendre des photos, j&#8217;ai quelques idees pour des photos en temps continu. </em></p>
<p><em>Cet après-midi tout en vérifiant mon E-mail, j’ai découvert que de nouvelles personnes s&#8217;étaient enregistrées à mon blog. C’est bien que le monde s’enregistrent à mon blog je me demande juste comment ils font pour le trouver?  Ensuite j’ai recu des nouvelles de quelqu&#8217;un de que je n&#8217;avais plus eu de nouvelles depuis longtemps. Cette personne m&#8217;a trouvé grace a mon blog. Il y a longtemps j’etais un animateur scout. On parle d’il y a peu pres 20-30 ans, ca me fait sentir vieux tout d&#8217;un coup. Il était un scout dans ma troupe. C’est pas mal le fun de recevoir de tes nouvelles Stephane. Effectivement, ca fait remonter de bons souvenirs à la surface!  </em></p>
<p><em>C’est pas mal tout pour les nouvelles, ce soir je vais m&#8217;ecraser sur le divan et regarder un film que les enfants ont loué pour la fin de semaine. Je vais vous en parler demain.</em></p>
