The trip began quite innocently. All they wanted was a simple,
week-long vacation to celebrate their new freedom. How hard could
that be? With their last child pushed out the door, it was now
'their' time. Time to travel, to explore, to visit uncharted
territories. Time for them to sample strange new cultures with
strange new customs and strange new languages. But where to go? And
once the destination was decided, how to get there? Not content
with doing things the 'easy way', they first bought a motorcycle. A
futuristic behemoth of a touring bike with a design ripped straight
from the pages of Buck Rogers that proved to be a topic of
conversation at each and every stop - whether they wanted to talk
or not. Armed with poor planning, poor judgment, laughter, love,
and an optimism usually reserved for the perilously insane, our
daring duo cast caution to the wind and headed straight into the
heart of the deepest, darkest continent known to man: Canada. In
the days to come they would have ample time to reconsider the
wisdom of their choices as they encounter torrential rains,
stomach-churning mountain roads, Canadians, Grizzlies, creepy motel
owners, moose, hidden tombs, cloned Vikings, more Grizzlies,
starvation, dehydration, beavers, gourmet food, Karelian Bear Dogs,
more Grizzlies, ferries, frog swarms and witchcraft all before
reaching their final destination at a Lodge in the mountains of
Banff National Park. Would they survive? More importantly, would
their 30-year marriage survive? And why is it exactly that in
Canada milk comes in bags, the metric system rules, and every word
has an extra 'u'? These answers and more await inside. So pick a
comfy chair and climb on board. It's a heck of a ride.
