Pictures from trip to Vancouver and Banff.

In about one week, I am leaving for what I hope will be an amazing adventure and experience...my first trip around the world (and hopefully not my last).  Though I have been travelling to many destinations far and wide, this will be the longest so far.  On top of it, I am going to make it…

I woke up to my first Pacific Northwest rainstorm. Since it was so gloomy outside, I took my time leaving the hostel and chatted with my roommates and some of the people I had gone out with the previous night. The roommate who I thought was a little odd the first night opened up a bit. She was also…

This is actually the fun part when we joined TravBuddy at a later date, I mean when a whole bunch of buddies had signed up before us - we're kind of having this urge to backtrack and fine-tune our memory to gather as much detailed information as we could about our past travel experience to turn it …

I live and work in Fort McMurray. It's a boom town with a population currently at 80,000 and growing fast. Unemployment is nearly 0% and job security is guaranteed. The town has some problems, but it's home for me right now and I have to make the most of it.

English version can be found below! Even voor achten stond ik op om te gaan douchen en Ellen volgde niet veel later mijn voorbeeld. Het ontbijt lieten we ons goed smaken en daarna moesten de tassen weer worden ingepakt want vandaag zouden we verder reizen richting de westkust. We checkten uit maa…

So, the only blessing of long haul flights are that if you feel ill at the start of a journey, you are most likely going to feel better by the end of it!! By the time we met the minibus connection I did feel a lot better and this was indeed good news considering I planned to spend the next 2 weeks …

What do you do when the wind chill is causing it to be -22? Honestly I have never felt cold like it, it feels like someone is slapping your face. The rest of my body is fine, but there is only so much of your face you can cover! I actually got an ice cream headache walking to the museum yesterday. …

After flying from Fresno to Los Angeles and then from there to Vancouver we boarded our ship, the Coral Princess for the seven day cruise.  We had gotten up at about 3 am to get ready and drive from our home the one hour to Fresno to make our flight.  The flights had been good and on our …

The tour almost drove me crazy! I sweared I'd never take one again! They tell you what time you have to wake up, when and where is the meeting point, that the bus driver can't wait so you better hurry up, etc., etc. They treat you as if you were a kid! Although the people we tra…

March 26th, 2008. My last entry was back in November 2007. Things have been busy and all over the place over here but in a good way. At work, new projects keep coming in, allowing me to flex my creative muscle. The variety is the spice of life and its keeps things interesting. I'm happy, living h…
