Exploring Adventurers, taking on the World one country at a time! One thing that we both have in common is our passion and excitement to explore the World. With the help of our friends and family you can be a part of our next journey...Canada, oh yes and marriage! We will be embarking on a ten day trip up the coast of California, Oregon, Washington and finally making our way into Canada. We are registering this journey through travelers joy, which is a honeymoon registry site. This is a fairly new idea in the world of registries. The idea being that many couples have already been living together for some time before the actual wedding day. With Target and all the amazing wonders it has to offer we have collected many things that outfit our little house into a wonderful home. Adventures pay for themselves ten fold, with experiences and memories that we will have forever. So we ask for your help with this next adventure. Whether it be gas money, a nice dinner or a nights stay somewhere along the way, all will be accepted with great appreciation. Thank you for being a part of Cat and Josh's Great Adventure into Canada and Life!!!!

We're going to Vancouver Canada!!!!

Depart Altadena sometime during the morning of the 23rd and make our way up to Santa Barbara, CA. Leave Santa Barbara and continue up the coast arriving in Monterey, CA. Leave Monterey and continue winding our way up to Eureka, CA. Leave the Golden State of California and head into Oregon finally arriving in Portland. Leave Portland and Oregon all together and make our way into Washington finally stopping in Seattle. Drop off our rental car in Seattle and head up to Vancouver Canada on the train. Arrive in Vancouver, Canada and enjoy our most recent country of exploration. Leave Vancouver and arrive back in Seattle. Fly from Seattle back to LA. The honeymoon is over, but the adventure continues!

Car Rental- Our plan is to rent a car in LA, drive up the beautiful coast of the Pacific Northwest and leave the car up in Seattle. A round trip with our time constraints will not work.
