Someone contacted me today to ask me about our 5 day trip to Quebec City, Canada and just a simple thing like that sent me down a rabbit hole of memories and sparked the need to share.  Before starting this blog of silly travel stories a few years ago, I had always written about the trips we took.  I just wrote crazy long emails each day back to friends to make them laugh and to stop me from killing the fam bam.  Cheaper than therapy and as it turns out it’s been a fabulous way to keep the amazing memories of our trips alive once the old mind has faded a bit.  Thinking about our visit to Quebec City over NYE 2012/2013 made me go back to the stories I wrote of the experience and it reminded me of just how beautiful the city was and how much we loved it.  I wrote tons and photographed everything and I thought I may as well pop all of this together on this blog in case anyone else is thinking about heading to this magical place.

Let’s start this thing out with a bang shall we, or a peeing squat!!!!

Gather round and lean in close…..this bit is going to be like when you read the last page of a book first so you know whether you will like the ending and whether you can be stuffed reading the whole thing (except this will be so much more entertaining)

Now to address some pre trip concerns that I expressed in the last blog post……

Well it’s the day before we jet off and I’m finally organised enough to turn my thoughts to the really important stuff – mainly toileting whilst we are there.  I believe from all my research that China is not a ‘short old fat pees-alot’ ladies best friend.  You know how you have these preconceived ideas about certain countries and their ways that you’ve heard randomly over the years but know in your head that you are being ridiculous and surely it won’t be like that.

Well apparently what I’ve heard about toilets in some spots in China is not as blown out of proportion as one may hope.  Drop toilets and the like….well they still use them in certain places and it would seem I’d be a kissed on the butt by a fairy kinda gal to completely avoid this experience across 3 whole weeks.

Well it’s been 6 months in the planning but finally the next adventure begins in 5 sleeps – China here we come!!!

All of you glorious people must be champing at the bit to get back on board the Kelly’s Travel Tour Bus.
