Nomads in the U.S, - with cats
My daughter is leaving Toronto soon, having finished her studies in the MBA program. She was my base of operation for travel and visiting the past 2 years (almost). She is moving on to find a job and start her life and career again and that SHOULD mean no mom hovering in the background SO, I am going traveling again. This time around the U.S. with the cats. We really started April 21, 2010 but I want this blog to be on top so I can keep adding to it. I changed my start date to do that
