New Beginnings

When we decided to relocate from Toronto to Vancouver, I knew I would have to drive across the continent with our dog Koda in the car. We knew that the last thing we would do was put him on a plane. On the one hand, I was looking forward to travelling the country as it is something I have always wanted to do. On the other, travelling long distance with our dog was something I would normally approach with trepidation. Why? He hates change, anything different, anything that is not part of his normal routine.

So I began to describe it as "Koda's Big Adventure". In hindsight, his "Big" adventure began as soon as we decided to relocate. There was almost daily activity to clean up, get rid of stuff, downsizing, selling, and then moving out in stages. The 8 weeks of activity was probably very stressful for him. Maybe the drive would be anti-climatic. I am also discovering that in the journey, there is no shortage of experiences worth documenting.

So this blog will attempt to capture our experiences, man and dog, as we travel and explore through the US as we drive from Toronto to Vancouver.
