Well, I'll have about 2 or 3 weeks away from the W coming up here shortly... and I honestly can say that I'm feeling relieved to be away. Although it will be doing work stuff... it's going to be a nice break, and the weekends will be FREE TIME!!!! (fingers crossed on the 3 weeks part... well, except that I'll miss my daughter) And... it's going to be a zip-code change break as well! (is that even a thing?) Well, postal code change break actually, because we don't do zip codes here. BUT nonetheless it's going to be a break that is few provinces away. I'm going to find an old tavern, order a drink, lap up the ambiance... and smile!!! Ontario should have lots of old taverns... maybe I'll turn it into a weekend pub crawl! And a wine tasting tour the following weekend! (do they have wine tours there?  ) LOL ... but still, I'll be working on the "exit plan" every moment, so won't have TOO many drinks (ish). I'll be here still to read the threads... and promise to have several for the team!!! (okay, I really don't drink very much)  Cheers!! |

Omg pub crawl!
Yes!
So jealous. Me and my girl friend would start at the Irish pub then work our way down the strip to the pool hall, clubs and maybe hit up a few other more risque places if we were too sloshed. But we always like to finish the night back at the Irish pub, best company and food.
In sure you will have a blast! Let us know how it goes.

jpn unsure where in Ontario you'll be, but the Niagara penninsula has some kickass wine. Oh, and if you could find me a Balls Falls T-shirt while you're there, that'd be great.

Hi @andie, I'll be starting in Ottawa and getting rental so I can go on an adventure based on the direction of the wind. With 2 full weekends to fill, I should have lots of time. Thanks for the tip!! I'll be looking into that this evening now!! Any other ideas? I'm feeling adventurous!!! |

jpn too bad you'll miss the tulip festival. I was there once during my college years. I'm a city girl and admittedly more familiar with Toronto-Hamilton-Niagara than the small towns in between there and Ottawa. The Keg always makes a great ribeye, and the bartender at the Burlington location knows exactly how I like my martinis. Don't forget, Balls Falls T-shirt please.

jpn Waterloo region has a lot to offer but that might be too far a drive for a weekend jaunt. You will have a great time. |

Hmmm... Waterloo, eh? I'll check it out... looks like it's only 5hrs away (ish). Sounds like an opportunity for a nice scenic road trip. Thanks for the idea nancybAnd @andie, I think hunting down a Balls Falls t-shirt would be an adventure in itself, so it is ON THE LIST. My todo list is starting to look like a lot of fun!!! |

I'll let you know, but your pub crawl sounds like a blast!! I remember back in university that I had always said one day I wanted to go on a pub crawl that was so crazy that I'd wake up on a park bench in Ireland and not have a clue how I got there. Then two days later wake up in Germany wondering the same thing. Ah yes, to be young and dream crazy dreams again. LOL |

So... what's the favourite colour for the shirt? Do you have a size preference? |
