The problem is that most people are still living the way they did prior to the recession. We are all still waiting for the economy to take off and for the easy money to come rolling back in. Unfortunately this isn’t going to happen and now the advice given to me by my grad parents to save is finally worth its wait. For years people having been preaching to concept of invest rather then save. This has finally turned around.

I had the chef's special at a New Orleans restaurant in Canmore. A fish of some sort.... I didn't care. I ate the entire plate out and was ready for a second meal. :-) But isn't it interesting that we use vaseline on people? And it is clearly labelled, petroleum jelly.

Good on ya!! Because of what I do - right away my thought was on the vaseline, imagine that people put that on their skin! So - I had to watch both video's... impressive, you both survived!!!! Great information you guys! Question out of pure curiosity - what was the first thing you went to eat at the end of your adventure? You are one of the most creative and adventurous men I know!

]]> Comment on Ahh Paris, will you there in the future? by Jonathan http://uventure.net/blog/2011/06/26/paris-notes/comment-page-1/#comment-1435 Jonathan Mon, 04 Jul 2011 16:21:12 +0000 http://uventure.net/blog/2011/06/26/paris-notes/#comment-1435 So very true... great post! My own experiences of Paris are likewise, and it remains a benchmark to us for food and atmosphere. Yet, there are many people I know who go to Paris and return jilted and annoyed... I think because they expected to have a typical North American experience (fast, empty) in a city that calls for them to change their pace and their mindset. So very true… great post!

I think it is shared by many of the "oldest". But I've also changed what it means to honour my parent's journey. Rather than following exactly in their footsteps, I've taken on a different venture to seek a better life for the next generation. And I don't just mean my kids, but also our collective future. That means I have to challenge myself to adapt to a wild future.
