So here we go....I've joined a GAP adventures tour of China and Japan (Trip code ACCJ in case you wanted to know) that will take me on a 18 day tour through Northern China and the south of Japan. I'll hit up Beijing to start, through the City of Xi'an then Shanghai. That's one full week in China,…

My first 'big trip': 2 months through 10 states in the US of A. It was a great adventure, largely because of the fact that we didn't know what we were doing. This was before I had discovered the functionality of a Lonely Planet guidebook, so our trip was mainly planned using fly/drive itineraries. We managed though, and saw a lot of great stuff. For now it is just a map and a couple of recollections - I need to scan some photos

I got up around 9am this morning and got my things together and headed to the airport.  I caught a 3:15 flight from Hong Kong to Toronto on Air Canada.  It was a 15 hour flight and felt like an eternity.  It seemed like everyone on the plane was sick with some respiratory infection.&…

I think everyone has a place of retreat where they find rest and fill up on love and energy. My Camelot happens to be a half-section of land in Cassils, Alberta that houses some family history and two of the dearest people I know. I've been able to escape at least once annually for just about every year of my life and consider it one of my joys and necessities. Come share some memories
