Kelowna Travel Blogs

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 had to wake up early today, as I was traveling home. I had the taxi service arrive at 7:15 to take me to Schiphol airport. The traffic was quite sparse until we actually go to the airport, so it didn’t take long to get there- maybe 20 minutes. The airport was incredibly busy, so I was thankful …

AWESOME!!

(cont'd...) At four o'clock in the afternoon we reached city of Kelowna, just when I was about to get completely bored. Sightseeing while driving is great, but 13 long hours for a single day...well, next time I'll fly. Kelowna is located in the Lower Okanagan Valley of Bri…

I asked my mom to drive me to the Kelowna airport, and we couldn’t get there fast enough. I was so excited to be going to London. It had been a long year of University, and I had just finished my first teaching practicum, and I was burnt out, so this vacation couldn’t have come at a better time…

(cont'd...) During that time, the weather was starting to shift to being warm yet windy, and everybody must have been excited for the coming May long-weekend. When I was asked and approached by my friend Raymond to the idea of accompanying his young family to visit Kelowna, and mys…

If you have read some of my other posts you will know my love of hockey is often combined with my love of travel.  Since I was going to be spending weeks in countries where hockey is at best a distant rumour I started my trip to the city of Kelowna 400 km from my home.  I simply jumped in…

So, I have been in Kelowna since I left Yellowknife on the 14th of December. It was pretty scary quitting my job and leaving the town I know and love so much, but it is changing. There are too many drug addicts roaming the downtown streets. I used to stroll the side walks or walk into a bar and kno…

We headed straight for the Kelowna Visitor Information Centre for some ideas of things to do. The practical choice was to go go-karting. Several loops of the track and a couple hours later, we were on our way out of Kelowna, but first... a stop at Kelowna Land and Orchard. It had some rather flashy…

Just a stopover for a couple of nights, while I work eastwards towards Grizzly Bear Ranch. Trip from Merritt was not nice - had to go over a pass at 1700m - above the snow line. My car doesn't have winter-tyres or snow-chains, so it was not a nice drive.

We all have times in our life when we know that a new direction, a new focus, a new something is needed.  During the last 6 months to a year I was wrestling with this exact thing.  Trying to decide where I wanted to go the most and was it going to be a two week holiday or something m…

Jan 13 - Mar 7 2007. From -30C to 30C the next day... One $800 airpass = Kelowna BC (Big White), Miami FL, New York NY, Boston MA, Miami FL (again), Key West FL, St John's NFLD, Chicago IL, Whitehorse YK, San Francisco CA, (Vancouver: brief visit home for Chinese New Year's and to unload winter gear), Los Angeles CA, Phoenix/Tucson AZ and too many YYZ visits.

A quick three day trip from Calgary to Kelowna.

The plan is to start out from Vancouver, going east on highway 3, 97 N and 99/1 back to Vancouver. We were very roadtrip-y: not much luggage or shopping. As we headed towards Hope and Chilliwack, traffic started to dwindle to none. We stopped for local honey farm in Chilliwack. The farm provide…

THE VAST LAND OF NORTH AMERICA SPRAWLS WITH THE GREENEST LUSH OF VEGETATION ONE CAN EVER IMAGINE.. A LAND OF MILK AND HONEY TO MOST MIGRANTS WHO HAVE FOUND SOLACE AND BLISSFUL EXISTENCE IN CANADA. I HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH CANADA.MANY TIMES OVER ESPECIALLY THE FUSION OF RACES THAT IS SO EVIDENT IN BRITISH COLUMBIA.VANCOUVER IS A WONDERFUL HAVEN FOR THOSE WHO LOVE NATURE AND WANT TO JUST GO ABOUT LIFE PEACEFULLY UNMINDFUL OF THE INTREPID MODERNIZATION THAT IS SEEN EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK IN CANADA
