The Start of my AmeriCadian Journey.

Image
Finally Got A Canada Work Visa!!! Dear Friends, I am so excited!!! I just got my work visa to Canada which will allow me to look for work and work in Canada for a year or two. The process was fairly simple and hired a company to send me all the links and forms I needed to fill out to get the visa. I had to dan an FBI background check and lots of online forms to fill out and then about a three-week wait to see if I would get the visa or not. After Shridi didn’t have any more fingernails to nervously bite off, I got my visa! After I got the visa I had a lot more paperwork to do the DMV papers, notaries, and goods list. Wow, so much work to do, and so little time. Well, I'm not ready to move to Canada yet, I need to find a job which means I need to start looking. I also need to move all of my stuff to Canada. Soo….. I’m going on another weeklong road trip to Canada! Also, until I find a job I will travel back a forth from America and Canada so that I can keep my job in ...

328 Feet above Canadian Soil. Bridges in the Sky.

328 Feet above Canadian Soil. Bridges in the Sky.        Canadians and the soil they live on have always had a rocky history. That was the first things I learned when I decided to go to Canada for the first time. The land can be harsh and barren and in most places, it is impossible to grow anything that can be eaten by people. This may be one of the reasons there aren’t a lot of people in Canada, but where there are people there are a lot of them. Bad soil is not something you would notice however if you went to Vancouver because it is full of greenery, which may also be why it is full of people. In some places it wasn’t always that way, and still isn’t and people are far and few between. Then there are some places where oh there the most wonderful sights you will ever see. Vancouver is one of them. Two of the best places to check out the profoundness of Canadian outdoor beauty are found in Vancouver. They are called Lynn Canyon ...

St. Josaphat Basilica’s Spectacular History. Milwaukee's Most Wonderful Mystery.

St. Josaphat Basilica’s Spectacular History. Milwaukee Most Wonderful Mysteries.             On our trip to St. Josaphat Basilica we found out that it was just as spectacular in person as it is in photos. The problem is Wikipedia doesn't do justice to how spectacular it really is. The basilica was commissioned by Pastor Wilhelm Grutza 1896. The new Basilica was set in motion to replace the local Polish church that was too small to fit the 12,000 Polish immigrants that flooded its holy halls each service. That's a lot of people right! The problem was finding building materials for a church that could house that many members. Pastor Grutza received word that a Post Office and a Customs House in Chicago were about to be demolished and bought 200,000 tons of scrap materials for $20,000. Which wasn't cheap, back in the 1800s 20,000 dollars would equal 800 million dollars today (that looks like this 800,000,000). If the church raised that much money ...

A Taste of Vancouver.

A Taste of Vancouver Three Best Places to Try  By Keylowha 2/26/2017 Vancouver is a big melting pot of many cultures, lots of people from lots of places come to together and make some pretty amazing  foods. Things that can only be described as some of the most interesting, most mixed up, most beautifully tasting  food I have had in a long time. It’s different and some how  its better. What I'm talking about is fusion food, when you take one cultures cuisine and mix it with a different cultures cuisine. In the case mixing Canadian style with another style. In Canada the food tastes fresher, the egg yolks are yellower, and when you put the best of multiple worlds together you just get heaven in every bite. So for my travels to Canada has left me eating more and more food every time I visit. It is hard to say what the best food I have ever had in Canada is or even what my top picks are, everything is delicious. I can tell you my top picks for this trip I ...

Winter Road Trip Tips. By Keylowha  http://www.telegraph.co.uk/cars/advice/how-to-drive-safely-in-snow-and-ice/              I remember when I was little my family went on this road trip in the winter which wasn't uncommon for us. We were so young it is actually a little hard to remember the details but this year something different happened and I remember that. The car broke down and we were stuck in the middle of nowhere in the winter on the side of some dark highway in the middle of the night. I know scary right but don't worry my parents had a plan. I remember being stocked into warm blankets and a truck driver stopping to help us. Yes, folks traveling in the winter doesn't have to put you on the evening news. There are things you can do to stay safe and stay warm.  alka-pure.com Water- this is actually a no-brainer. On any road trip, it is important to carry water, even if you are only going three hours away from ho...

America and Canada Road Trip Mapping.

Mapping the Way from America to Canada. By Keylowha 10/12/2016 I am super excited. I just got my passport a few weeks ago and Shridhar and I got news that we get to go to Canada. We really like to travel and I have pretty much seen all of America, there are still a few states I need to go to. Besides America, I have also been to Mexico many times (you know back when people didn’t need a passport to go there). But Canada! Wow! How this happened was Shridhar actually just got a new job there so he is moving to Canada. Since he has a car that was actually manufactured in Canada, he can take his car with him instead of having to sell it and get a new one. This means we get to drive to Canada. I can’t believe it. We are super e xcited because not only do we get to go to Canada but we get to road trip there as well. So the trip will start in Saint Louis, Missouri and end in Vancouver, Canada. This will be our longest road trip going through four state...

Minion Banana Pie        Minions are interesting little creatures, aren't they. They love powerful things, they are extreme followers and they love bananas. Who doesn't love bananas? Well okay to be fair lots of people don't like bananas, but wait we don't have to use bananas to make minion pies. The health nut side of me is trying to claw its way out right but the kid in me remembers pudding cups and it pushing that crazy girl back down, way down deep inside of me. Oh, man snack packs how we loved you, your chocolaty goodness still fresh in our minds. Sometimes I use to mix chocolate and banana together :), (okay I still do that at the buffet. Anyways this no-bake recipe is really easy and comes in a cute little box. Here is what you need: Recipe 1 Box Minions Banana pudding mix Mini to sauce cups Butter Gram Crackers   Whipped Cream Milk You could use pre-made mini gram cracker cups but then ...
