Travelog for: Fenway

Hi! I'm Fenway! I may be a little dog but I am a HUGE sports fan!

MY ITINERARY...
starbursidereus – Ontario, Canada – Thank you for a great visit!
whatif - Beijing, China - on my way!
Then looking for more fun places to go!

Here I am reading up on my favorite team, the Boston Red Sox...

And here I am checking in on my favorite football team, the New England Patriots...

I also love to travel - I can't wait to see sports in other countries!

I am SO excited! I am going on my first trip soon! I hear I am going to Canada. I know that they have a baseball team and lots of good hockey, but that's all I know. So I went to the bookstore and did some research.

Did you know that they have lots of moose in Canada? My friend Chocolate is a moose too! Speaking of Chocolate, he's going on a trip too. So the two of us went to Target to pick out some luggage.

They're not fancy, but they'll do! I can't wait to go!

Hi mum!! I have arrived safely in Canada!! The trip was fairly long but my scrapbook and I made it safely. The luggage was the perfect way to travel!
My host dad picked me up from the mailbox this evening and there were two Toy Voyagers already waiting for me!!


Here we are all together: Oskar, me, and Hueso who arrived just before I did!


I will write again soon!! don't miss me too much! :-)

Well yesterday (January 30th) my host mom stayed at her home office to work because the weather was pretty bad outside again. So, we were put to work! She gave me the Blackberry PDA device to email a few people, but my fingers were too big for the buttons.
Did you know that the company that created and manufactures the Blackberrys is just down the road from my host mom's office building? She said we can go by and see the building sometime! :-)



That's all for now! Bye!

It has been way too long since my last post - I am so sorry!!! We haven't been too busy, but my host mom has. There have been two big winter storms in the last two weeks and that has kept her very busy!

Well, last weekend my host mom decided to splurge and have a party! We ordered PIZZA for dinner!!


But first my host dad let me help him to feed their pet cats! They were really friendly but not really interested in letting me try their food. Haha.



That's ok.

Yesterday my host mom let me play on their Wii!! I couldn't really play because the controller is just too big, but I tried. I really did!


Well coming up this weekend my host mom said we're going on a road trip! Almost five hours away to Saginaw, Michigan for some hockey! It's too bad it's not baseball season, but at least I get to watch some kind of sports, right? :-)
I can't wait to go!!

We have been very busy here at my host mom's house!
Here is a collection of photos displaying what I've been up to in the last month!

Cooking!, Dining with Bisons, and budling up for the cold Canadian winters!



Playing with the gerbil, going to the hockey game, and meeting Little Johnny from Halo!



Out hotel in Frankenmuth, Michigan, at the McDonald's Playplace, and driving in tunnels!

I have now left my cozy home here in Canada, and I'm en route to COSTA RICA!!

My host mom felt bad for keeping me a few extra days longer, so she made sure my ticket was first class Air! I'm so excited to be moving on, but sad that my time in Canada is now over.

Happy travels!

Hi mom!  I've made it to Abby's house in beautiful British Columbia!  I just wanted to let you know that I am safe and in good hands.

I have had a long trip and now it's off to bed for me!

It snowed yesterday, so today Abby took me onto the roof of her school to look at the mountains. Abby goes to Simon Fraser University, which is on a mountain as well.  If I look a little blurry, that's because I was shivering.  It was cold up there!



Look, the pond in the Academic Quadrangle is partially frozen!



Brr!  Time to get inside.

Today I went for a walk, despite it being -15 degrees celcius (5 degrees fahrenheit).



Today's walk was to the mouth of Kanaka Creek.  The area around Kanaka Creek is a protected wetland habitat, home to many different organisms.  It is also a very historical place, which I learned about as I walked.





Kanaka Creek meets up with the Fraser River, the largest River in Western Canada.



This is looking straight across the river:



To the east:



To the west:



What a beautiful view!



Walking along the path in the Dense Deciduous Forest, I saw a woodpecker.



Erin came along because she was geocaching.  This is her at the first one we found:



We came to a lookout with lots of information.









This is the view down the Fraser,



And here is the mouth of Kanaka Creek.



Here you can see the log booms that were mentioned in the information plaques.



Then, it was time to walk back.

Well, it's been a nice, albeit short, visit with Abby, but it's time to go home for now!

That's right, I am FINALLY home at last! Thank you to Abby & the other kind people I met along the way who helped me to find my way home safe and sound! I was so excited to see Mara & Plaid Moose & the bunnies! And I made it home just in time to go with them to California for Christmas! So I am off to take a well-deserved nap before we get packing tomorrow!

After a long strange trip to Canada (including getting re-routed in the mail from Costa Rica), I arrived home just in time to go with Mara to celebrate Christmas in California! Here I am with Plaid Moose, ready to go...

The flight was really smooth, and I liked being able to see all the snow on the mountains!

While we were in California, we drove through Niles Canyon. Mara got really car sick, but I liked seeing the beautiful mountains with Plaid Moose!

California is warmer than it is here at home, and they have different things than we do here in Virginia. Here I am in front of some palm trees...

And I even found a cactus!

And Mara's family says that no trip to California is complete without a trip to In-n-Out, a famous place to get hamburgers!

Since we were visiting to celebrate Christmas, Plaid Moose and I found lots of cool Christmas decorations. Here we are with a perfectly-sized snowman on Christmas Eve...

On Christmas Day, we went for a walk and found this house with TONS of decorations...

We especially liked this light-up Yukon Cornelius (a character from Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer)

The hotel had lots of pretty decorations too. Here I am on the staircase:

And we liked this palm tree that was decorated for the holidays:

And, of course, we had to take a picture under the Christmas tree!
