Canada

I’m very afraid of long drives, hiking, boating or any adventures. Do you want to know how I got over these fears? As well you will be surprised once I tell you about my adventurous vacation. You will be trembling with excitement.

My lovely husband told me a surprise a couple of days before our thrilling vacation to Mont Tremblant, Quebec. He caught me again with another surprise once I saw we were staying for 8 days in the Ermitage Dulac. Everything was written in French. An interesting fact is that nobody in my family knows French.

My nervousness increased once we started our journey on Saturday early morning by car so we could avoid traffic as we are way to Mont Tremblant. We passed Kinston, Ottawa, Montreal and I saw beautiful, slowly, slowly, the sun rise from the mountains the birds were chirping the dark night said bye to us and the bright sunshine said hello to us and welcomed us all over the tree, grass, greenery, mountains cool with a nice breeze blowing feeling very fresh oxygen coming into our breath. So many farmhouses had cows, poultry and fields with crops surrounded everywhere. I felt like we reached paradise we had 3 stopovers in a farmhouse and bought milk, vegetables and fruits. Also get knowledge about chicken and goats I didn’t realize how I passed 7 hours without any difficulties such as headaches, vomiting, dizziness in fact all memories are printed in my head forever and photos in my album.

Once we reached the hotel, I collect so many brochures from the reception because I was given the charge to organize all our activities. I found so many activities in the brochures. But they were all French and this was a very hard nut to crack for me. I used my mind and I solved it by downloading Google translate on my phone now it was very easy for me to find all the places. In fact, I learned so many words and sentences I will give a special thanks to my daughter as she helped me a lot. After that, I planned for a few days we were tired, so we had dinner and went to sleep.

As planned, my next day activity was hiking so I had ants in my pants. My families boost me, and I was ready. After all we paid an arm and a leg for this trip. That day was very beautiful, attractive me to do hiking. Just like nature is also calling me and I reached the top of the mountain. After two hours of hard work, we reached the top level. I felt very happy my husband awarded me with a very precious diamond ring. Additionally, the trees and plants also bow to down. While coming we took family pictures and videos that we will share with you family and friends.

After hiking another scary part for boating on the second day, we went boating. I already booked the tickets a day before. I used to be afraid of swimming. I didn’t try it in my life, and I believe I will fall in the water once I go in the boat. My husband and my daughter started first, they raced each other. My husband won so he challenged us and then it was a battle for me. I still remembered my mother words: try- try again until you will get success and never give up.  Finally, we started boating and we tried very hard and we won.

We were there for few more days, so we did some more activities such as cycling, mini golf, and morning walk. We spend lots of time with each other and sharing our feelings. Giving more support is good for healthy relationship for us in the future.

Now my plan is to go on a long weekend to Blue Mountain. I will surprise my husband.
