Author Archives: We’ve been at the airport all of fifteen minutes when baby Phoenix poops through his diaper, sleeper and onto my clothes. We have a 24-hour journey to France ahead of us that involves planes, trams, trains and cars. Was this explosive start to the trip a foreshadow of what was to come?  For twenty years, Totoyaya served Bruno faithfully. She was more than a vehicle. More, even, than a home. She was the manifestation of his childhood dream. The physical symbol of his freedom. She was the reason Bruno and I met. The nest where we fell in love. Where we dreamed dreams. Planned our future. She’s the very reason we now have a baby called Phoenix. And now, she has met her tragic end.  A first road trip, a new province. A fresh passport, a first flight, a new country. And then… we hit the road! Baby Phoenix has been gearing up these past few weeks for our grand departure, and it has finally arrived! Read on to hear about our travel plans for the remainder of 2018.  Life at Wandering Footsteps is often a whirlwind of travel, discovery, and adventure. These past ten weeks have been a whirlwind of a different sort – the whirlwind of being new parents. Whoever said (ahem, Bruno!) that having a baby doesn’t change your life or take up space was wrong! Will we truly be able to travel in a bus with a baby???  You can’t consider yourself a world traveler until you’ve experienced a Canadian winter. This was the challenge posed to Bruno by a friendly neighbor. It’s mid-March – according to the calendar, winter is almost over. Have we survived? What has winter been like? Can we now consider ourselves true world travelers? |
