My new passport has arrived (HUZZAH!) and I am busy with spreadsheets, calendars and post it notes while I plan out two very different trips.
Trip 1: Cross country road trip, Vancouver to PEI, spanning 2 months (June and July). My partner will be doing site visits for work and while he could take multiple flights over the year to do so, he wants to drive. So, I've been busy finding dog-friendly hotels and a cottage for our holiday in the middle of our very long drive back and forth across the country. I think I have our schedule planned out of where we're going and have started booking all our accommodations. We'll be staying with my sister for a couple of weeks so I am also planning what meals I can torture her with and making a list of the herbs and spices to bring along lol.
Trip 2: Caminho Portugues and Camino Ingles (September, October, 1st week of November) This one has been less stressful to plan out lol. I've downloaded maps, made my spreadsheet of which towns and the distance for each day, made notes for what I might like to see along the way, added new gear to my pile and removed a few items. Flights and initial accommodations have not been made yet, but I have made a few faces at airline websites and prices.
Now I just need the snow and ice to melt away so I can start walking again and testing out all my gear to make sure it will keep me cool enough for the southern Portugal heat and warm enough for the cooler temps of northern Spain! Or cool enough for the very hot and humid temps of southern Ontario and warm enough for the frozen hinterlands of Alberta!
