It was supposed to be a simple trip to Saskatoon, we had booked the Travelodge Hotel with built in water slides ... the main surprise for the girls but everything was going to change ... totally unexpected and unprepared for what was to come! We took off from Calgary, Alberta around 2pm and w…

We enjoyed the Stampede today!  Be careful if you put your kids in charge of the budget!  They can get picky.  They convinced me last night to skip the shuttle and we were kindly refunded our $40.  Early this morning we drove our big rig throughout a majo…

April 19th 2008 just another spring day on beautiful Vancouver Island Ha Ha what a joke. It started late last night and we woke up to a Christmas morning! Hopefully this snow won't last.

Fossli Provincial Park was donated to the people of British Columbia in 1974 by Helen & Armour Ford of Port Alberni. The name "Fossli" is a place name from Norway that had been applied to the property before the Ford's acquired it.  Although the  Park is  accessible by land …

This was a pretty boring day so I am not even going to bother writing much about it.  We didn't get to bed until 4:30am, so you know how that goes.  It was just downhill from there!I must say, though, that Canadians are some of the friendliest people I have ever met during my travels, whe…

We both finally gave up trying to sleep at 6:00 AM. Our ship, the Sun Princess, which we expected to dock right below our window was still not in but it arrived about 6:30. It's a great looking ship with a lot of open deck. We ate breakfast in the hotel's atrium, then walked on the pier in light ra…

Duration: 3 days."3 days??" you say? Yes. 3 days. One weekend in Paris. We were anxious to fly across the massive Pond fo…

Well, I meetup with my Mate Matt at the airport and spent the weekend wandering around the city.  Eating is fabulous and I highly recommend the Schwarts Smoked Meat Sandwiches.  The Sun is out and the entire city seems to be in bohemian mode.  Walked up the Mount Real (which gave Mon…

(cont'd...) We landed at Winnipeg International Airport 30 minutes past five in the afternoon. It is still the same airport that I used to like; it is not as busy, the concourse is short, its parking is ample, and the technology is there, yet I could still sense a hometown feel …

I am lucky to live next to Goldstream Park on Vancouver Island, every year starting mid October the salmon come back to spawn here are a few photos. Also a few photos of the fall color in my own garden.

When my BFF (G) called me last August to tell me she got engaged, my first reaction was shock. Well, not really, it was pretty anticlimatic, but it sounds better when I say that. It was actually excitement, especially because now we could book the vacation we had been planning for so…

I love these great hardy wildflowers that looks so delicate...yet so strong.  They grow up into the mountains, along alpine meadows, down hills...an awesome site.  I love the smell..not to strong but delicate. When the snow melts high in the mountains, the Avalanche Lilies come out. …
