    Part 3: STUCK in Canada – The Final Countdown

    / July 7, 2023

    After waiting 144 days, we finally made it to our 7 day countdown to Italy! Now all we needed to do was ride 625 kms to Calgary on a motorcycle with nearly 150 lbs of gear. Easy Peasy.   For a bit of back story, our previous longest ride together…

    Hello Ontario! With our delays in BC, our 2+ week trip to Ontario was cut in half, so we had a jam packed plan to see and do as much as possible.   This was the first time Paul and I met each other’s family (aside from my Mom), before…

    Finally, the move is done! Off to Ontario for goodbyes, then Rome. Right!? Not so fast. Remember that teeny part I mentioned about Paul passing his motorcycle license? Well, there was a bit of a hiccup. Paul completed a Safety Course years prior that guaranteed he would be fully licensed…
