The Adventures of Lynne

 On the Christmas break, I practised being a world traveller. I took my green "carry on" and my red suitcase (a gift from Shirley). Alice took these pictures of me in the subway in Toronto. I went by GO train to Toronto, took the subway to Bay and Dundas, and took the Ontario Northland bus to Sudbury to visit my Mom. I walked about 3/4 of a kilometre on ice and lumpy snow with my bags (the suitcase was basically full of books). I learned: The green bag is quite heavy after a while. Alice recommends a backpack instead. The wheels on the suitcase are 360 degrees which is awesome, although not so helpful in the ice and snow. I can do it!  

Here is my new blog. I hope to document my adventure from July 2019 to August 2020. I got here by having a "deferred salary" (imagine the good fortune I have to work in a profession where this is possible), so I have been earning 80% of my salary these past four years and will earn the same next year, my fifth year. It is a sabbatical, an adventure, a journey of self-discovery and perhaps an indulgence. Friends and colleagues have requested a blog to keep up with me. I don't know how faithful I will be when posting (I'm not much of a journal person) but I hope to connect with you every week or so.
