Travels With Stacey

The best thing about being a school bus driver is the time off. What other job offers so much vacation time like a bus driver? And what do I do on my time off? Obviously, I take my wife somewhere! This March Break, we are…

Christmas is our favourite time of year. It is a shame it is too short. I created this simple (very long) day trip to the Niagara region of both the Canadian and American sides. It is intended that we will do this on a Saturday…
