It's getting closer and closer to our departure date. We have 72 days left before we meet up with our friends Ian & Wendy in Toronto. Most of the arrangements and travel plans have been finalized. We've booked our air and the first couple of nights hotels (Toronto & Ottawa). We'll be arriving a couple of days early (6th) so that we can get together with as many friends and family as we can before we head out on the 11th.

Our plan is to leave Toronto on Monday, September 11th and head to Ottawa for a little 150 celebrations and meet up with our good friends Jim & Cathy Smith. We're all booked in the same hotel so it will be good to get updated after quite a bit time since our last get together.

From Ottawa we'll be heading to Montreal for two days and then on to Quebec City for two days as well. While there is a proposed itinerary, we'll be free-wheeling it as much as possible with hotels & B&B's booked on the road.

We hope that you follow us on this trip and get used to our new travel blog - OFF EXPLORING - hopefully it will do the job.
