this year.

On the final day of driving we only had some 530km to go. We decided to make a lunch stop in Kingston, becuase one of the girls had friends she wanted to see. It was another spectacular day weather wise, and I was behind the wheel of the freshly cleaned mini-van. We rolled into Kingston around 2pm, had lunch, and were back on the road by 4pm. It was a long break, but I’d rather sit in kingston enjoying the sun and frsh air, then sit in Toronto rush hour traffic.

We rolled into the Mosaic parking lot just shy of 7:30pm on Tuesday April 19, 2005. The cube van almost didn’t make it, as it seems the coolant levels dropped and the thing blew nothing but hot air into the cabin. The AC didn’t work, so Dan and Ali had both windows wide open, tryint to get some fresh cool air. A diesel truck driving along at 100 km/h with both windows open is not the quietest ride.

So here I am, back home after 19 days on the road. On the whole it was a completely enjoyable experiences. The long days of driving were less boring then most could imagine, and the similiarities between all the cities and towns we visited was obvious. The only downers I can place my finger on are: the less then fair weather we were faced with on the drive out, and the nights we were unable to run the promotion. I have never seen a group of people get along so well, for such a long time. By the end I’m sure we were ready to do another 19 days as soon as we got our laundry washed. The Ontario leg of the tour starts Friday, with a stop in Mississauga. This leg is mostly one night affairs, though we do have a few hotel nights coming our way.

Over the next few days I will be adding photos to the prevous posts, as well as composing a post with highlights from the trip, that may or may not have been included in previous posts.
