Travels with My Sisters

All’s Well that Ends Well
After our post race recovery regimen of a shower and big lunch, complete with celebratory libations, it was time for the other important part of our trip. And that was spending time with our brother Randy, who we had not seen for a few years. He graciously came and picked us up and drove us to his farm, about two hours outside Montreal. Once we got over the surprise of how much he now looks like Colonel Sanders (albeit a more svelte version), we were off to the farm. Little Sis got the front seat on the drive and she had a great time enjoying our brother's somewhat offbeat sense…

One Foot In Front Of The Other
After settling in at our hotel and a fun evening at the rooftop lounge, it was now time to get serious and focus on the event that brought us to Montreal - a Sisterhood 5k walk. The tiaras are unpacked, we found a good restaurant for carbo loading before the walk and spent some time brushing up on our high school French. All we need now is for race day to arrive. But first....

Up, Up And Away
Well its official. We are finally on our way to Montreal for our first 5K walk in three years, and a visit with our brother on the side. The Sisterhood had been training for this, and we could not wait to get our kicks on and start the walk, but we had to get there first which was an adventure in itself. We travelled over four provinces, two time zones, and a language barrier. Let's go girls!

Bonjour Montreal, Here We Come!
Finally….. the long wait is over and the Sisterhood is breaking out of the COVID imposed travel embargo to once again work towards their goal of participating in a 5k walk in every province in Canada. So far we have checked BC, Alberta and Saskatchewan off the list and next week we will be able to check off Quebec after we participate in the Run For Women in Montreal. Even though we are feeling a bit rusty since our last walk, which was in Saskatoon in 2019, we are happy to once again be back out on the “trail” with the added bonus of getting to spend time with our…

And the Fun Just Never Stops…
There is no disputing that our tiaras and the ensuing hilarity were a highlight of our vacation, but there is so much more to tell. In fact, it’s remarkable that we managed to pack so much excitement and laughter into four short days, so allow me to elaborate on some of our more meaningful experiences. Please be assured that no animals were harmed during the following adventures and the safety of others was paramount. All participants shall remain anonymous to protect their identity (we didn’t know their names anyway) Walk Don’t Run Because one of our foundational principles is to promote physical fitness, it was of the utmost importance that…

The Tiara Trio
Recently, the Sisterhood decided to take a short vacation just to “clear the cobwebs,” relax and above all, maximize the fun factor. We had originally planned a visit to Montreal but instead ended up on Vancouver Island in beautiful British Columbia, Canada….its a long story. Of course we are first and foremost planners. Each sister was charged with bringing an activity so at various points we found ourselves playing Big Sis’ favorite card game called “Sticks”, a version of charades called “Heads Up” favored by Middle Sis and working on our hand eye coordination with Little Sis’ ball contraption. (Big Sis really wanted Middle Sis to plan a “Kerri-Oke” activity,…

And the Saga Continues…
A Quick Recap… The Sisterhood is on an athletic adventure, and an inspirational mission. Yes, we are still walking to Montreal to see our brother Randy. When last we spoke, we were enjoying the lovely town of Princeton, B.C. Canada. Since then, we have braved torrential rain, physical pain (we’re approaching the mountains now) and overwhelming depression….. just kidding about the depression! In case you are wondering though, Big Sis is still complaining of foot pain, Middle Sis is still ridiculously upbeat and Little is preoccupied with Biscuit’s well being and comfort. But I digress. We are now just outside of Enderby,B.C., where we are going to rest for a…

Only 3,476.83 Kilometres to Go
The Sisterhood is on the move. In fact, we're on fire! Our virtual walk to Montreal to see our brother Randy is underway and our progress is nothing short of remarkable....sort of.

Off To Randy’s House We Go…Maybe?
The above picture is of our brother Randy. Despite an uncanny resemblance to Howdy Doody, we think he is just adorable. Have you ever heard of the saying from the 70's, " Keep on Trucking?" Well this is exactly what the Sisterhood of the Travelling Shoes is going to do. Since we have completed two virtual walks, one along the Cabot Trail and one around the Ring of Kerry, we decided to do one of entirely our own design. Read on faithful follower and see the exciting adventure that we have in store for our next virtual walk.
