Last week I had a full on escape from the city. It was so much fun. It reminded me of camp when I was a kid but it was way better. We drove cars fast and had beers after.

Chantel, Keri, and I have awesome jumps lol

There was about 20 bloggers on our ‘escape’ and the day started with lunch, then games, kayaking, rock climbing and extreme driving on a closed track. We finished with dinner and drinks at Arto Gallery in Distillery District. I’ve been on a few trips with Ford this year and am consistently impressed with their innovation as a brand.

I scaled seven stories like a spider monkey. First time outdoor rock climbing and I was awesome at it.

Instagram: This was GNARLY!

My driving partner for the day was Toronto blogger Lisa Charlieboy. I’ve known Lisa for years so spending the day wth her was awesome. We were in Banff together in July for the World Media Fest. See her post from the day at Urban Native Girl. Follow her on Twitter at @UrbanNativeGirl. We did pretty good in the challenges and laughed our heads off.

Gas, sharp turns, slamming brakes. I really, REALLY loved driving the Escape (hard) on the track. This is my face after totally tearing it up. I may have injured a few pilons on the way. They are fine.

Ford Park Assist: Look ma’ no hands!

Extreme Kayaking (with my phone):

By the time we drove back to the gallery and got dinner the digital team had produced a video of all the days content. We all watched it together, there are some really funny parts and crazy driving. I’m trying to get it to show you. Photo credit goes to Michael Marmur, Pinpoint National Photography.

 This weekend I’m driving a Ford Fiesta to Montreal w/ a friend and will be writing about it for the Ford Canada Blog. I’m ready for some relaxing, great food, and adventure. We’re staying at the W Montreal which I LOVE. Spent NYE there w/ some friends a couple years ago. It’s hilarious looking at old posts and seeing how things have changed, writing, hairstyles. I had the ‘Miley hair back then. You know what I’m talking about. Should I cut it again?

<3 CASIE

wakey wakey it’s breakfast tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime!

i’ll have water (w/ airborne), simosa, juice, coffee, and a smoothie, thank you.

yummy. raymi & both went glasses styles, it was like 8:30 am.

ahem, pardon me, what’s that? oh,  cock & balls bull.

back to the hotel to get ready for the evening

our group 20 had a five course dinner at the ever so lovely buonanotte. the website has heaps of plates signed by famous people who ate there like lenny kravitz, jerry seinfeld & jimmy kimmel.

me & brother andrew stewart

melodie got a sexy new short cut. hawt!

sat beside Stew

our chariot for the night was a massive limo disco bus (like the ones 905′ers get to come downtown!)

we had a massive area for our crew at this club calle BAINS DOUCHES. haha. these hot ladies danced sexy burlesque for us. rrrrrarrrrrrr. one of the girls is from TO and would like me to come to her class. i like this idea.

HAPY NEW YEAR! 2011 OMG!

this giant 6’5″ 19 year old may have kissed me at midnight

we had a photographer so i didn’t take many photos of our party

i came back from the club earlier than the rest and made use of our awesomely huge tub

our suite was pretty awesome, well except that it was 911. bad sign, gah 9/11?  bathroom is behind blue curtain.

had a great sleep, woke up and hung out with myself around the hotel lobby

looked at the beautiful & modern art displayed by an artiste named TONE

then i went to the Away Spa @ W Montreal for a massage and a lovely breakfast

post brekky i met up with the rest of the crew and prepared for departure…

and finally… I share this with you beacause it is pretty freaking AWESOME. Posted details on tumblr.

our NYE adventure started out with a lovely lunch breifing at Mercatto in TO. andrew & monoka gave us all the deets incuding fancy dinners, clubs, limo rides, shopping, plus hair & spa appointments.

we like this

all ma ladies melodie, raymi, monika

post lunch we hopped into cabs to the island airport and caught a 4:30 on Porter to MTL

by the time we left the plane was full and were were so loud and excited. i’m sure everyone hated us.

a limo picked us up and from P.E. Trudeau airport & took us to our new home, the W Montreal

beautiful hotel, go there next time you are in MTL.

i was in love with the art they have displayed right now. reminded me of a fine toronto artist, HINTO.

most comfy beds at W hotels

“why am i single”

looooooved the colour changing lights in our booth at Wunderbar (the club inside the dubs)

team INQ: andrew & karin

Watch this:

I watched it last night as I had a lovely bath in my suite at the W Montreal. It really got me thinking about sharing of content online. Living in public. It opened a few windows in my mind that lead to doors with ideas behind them. I’ve got lots to share with you this year my friends.

Happy New Year!

* pix from INQ NYE shenanegans tomorrow

We’re having a five course dinner. There’s twenty of us. The food is just divine. We arrived in a huge disco limo bus with a bar in it.

I packed a confetti popper in my purse for later! Hazaaaaa!

Happy New Year friends!

(Resto is beauty, snapped that pic before the 8:30 seating!)

Having the most fun. We are quite a hilarious bunch. Flight was short and we were quite loud which made it even more hilarious. We clapped at the end, y’know like how people sometimes do when you go on vacation?? Yes. Funny.

The W Hotel Montreal is so beautiful. It’s my first time staying at this one. Went to Wunderbar the club here last night. The INQ Team is treating us really great, had bottle service and a nice dinner before hand. Brekky this AM with the whole crew, there’s about 15 people in the #INQNYE group, us, couple peeps from Strategic Objectives and contest winners.

Spent some time shopping morning then I ventured out on a massive walk around downtown Montreal. Was nice to have a little self time before tonight. It is going to be INSANE, the whole place is open bar and we have a section to ourselves, a bodyguard (Frank Farmer?), and a massive limo for the night. Dinner is at a fancy place too.

This is the life. This is my life, aaaaaaaaaaaaah!

In other news, I’m blogging from iPad and it’s not going as well as planned. Adding photos is harrrrrrd. So many good ones to share too. Gah, getting me frustrrrrrrated. Check Raymi’s blog to see pix until I figure this crap out. Rarrrrrr.

I need a nap before tonight for sure. Ok bye xoxo
