The ways of St. James rest on over one thousand years of history and legends (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Way_of_St._James ).    Althought, I'm not particularly religious, I had heard of it and was very much intrigued by the philosophy and culture surrounding it.  Ev…

“Tourists don’t know where they’ve been, travelers don’t know where they’re going.” - Paul TherouxI've always thought I've been more a traveler than a tourist and now moreso than ever I'm going to test that theory out!  For years I've been thinking about taking some time off to tra…

Up early and i drove into town along buffalo avenue and parked up on 3rd street  opposite a souvenir shop which has a small 'Dare Devil' museum  in it , i ask the guy and he says that the street parking is free there , which is a result considering it is $10 per day  a few hundred ya…

I lived in Sudbury for approximately 17yrs and suddenly the family had to 'up-and-move' ... though I remember disliking Sudbury, Ontario and wanting to return to my home in Ottawa, I guess over time I began to become attached to Sudbury and now I look back and want to return ... the same feeling I had back then in Sudbury, Ontario is reappearing again here in Calgary, Alberta ... far from family, but at least I have you; my Travbuddy Family to keep me going!!!!

Flew in to NYC on 22nd July and moved around America from there. I saw some amazing sites such as Niagara Falls and the Grand Canyon and I got to drive down the Big Sur. It was a truly awesome experience and I'd love to do a lot more traveling from now on.

June 21-27 Every year that this crew comes up they put together a fishing tournament.  You take the largest fish of each of the main species we are fishing for (Northern Pike, Walleye, Smallmouth Bass, and Perch) and add the inches together.  I had a pretty solid 80 inches all together w…

Taking the ferry from Swartz Bay (Victoria) on Vancouver Island to Tsawassen (Vancouver) can be a very pleasant trip at any time of the year, here are a few photos from my last trip Nov.2007.

Vancouver's excellent aquarium is in the middle of gorgeous Stanley Park. I had a great day there and was doubly pleased to hear that the animals are all rescue ones (I'm not a fan of dragging animals out of their natural habitats for our amusement). The beluga whales were particularly adorable :D
