Well we are now on day 3 in the City of Winnipeg.  Yesterday we spent our time walking around.  It is a nice city  - has a good feel to it - but there really isn't much to do!!  We have however found a really cool internet cafe that serves good coffee - could easily spend the whole day here.  After our wanderings we went back to the hostel and made tea.  Then just sat for the rest of the evening reading and chatting with our new global friends.  Go...

Every fall the Polar bears gather in Churchill Manitoba waiting for the ice to form so they can move onto it to hunt seals. These aren't my photos but a friends. I thought they were amazing and thought I'd share them!

(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 whenever I looked around. I had the assumption - or at least as what I was told by friends, that soon it may not remain the same as the ongoing massive expansion west of the airport is bei...

As opposed to other major cities in Canada, Winnipeg may pale in comparison citing its subdued cosmopolitan character, for example. Having a humble downtown area and quaint little houses (in core city area) - among other things, Winnipeg has still maintained its charm that is uniquely different from any cities in Canadian Prairies. Its people are the friendliest ones you can find. After more than six years since we last set an eye on Winnipeg, here we were, both worked-up and ...

After an exhausting day of hiking, we set sail for Killarney the following morning.  We sailed between the islands of Fathom Five National Marine Park, but did not stop to explore (we would have if I were the captain of the ship!)  We reached Killarney with enough time to drop a kayak in the water and then clean up in time for dinner.  Please ignore the travbuddy map of Killarney.  It is NOT actually located where the map shows.  It would be hard to sail there if it...

I wasn't really expecting much when I went to the Red River Exhibition in Winnipeg. I had seen the ads in the Winnipeg papers and decided to check it out. I had a great time. I went through all the government and commercial exhibits and spent hours photographing people and colours of the midway. When I got tired and hungry, I rested my sore feet at  an outdoor theatre and watched metis dancers and fiddlers perform to an enthusiastic audience.

Random pictures from some trips

I work as a flight atendant for Calm Air in Manitoba & Nunavut Canada. You can only imagine how freaking cold the weather gets up there- I havnt seen the Churchill polar bears( but will include some friends photos) but got to play in "Miss Piggy" a airplane reckage from the 70's( and the pilots did survive by the way) I get to go up to these place 2 -5 times a month for a period of 2-3 days so I make the best of it as the airfare is not cheap to reach the true north. It truely is world class.

a scattered glimpse at some travel memories through photographic glimpses....

My daughter Karen (aka Keek) has taught around the world. Her most recent sojourn was in Fort Simpson, way up in Canada's Northwest Territories. This year I flew out to meet her and her unusual traveling companion Bea, in Winnipeg and drove across Canada to our home near St. Andrews, NB, Canada. It was an interesting adventure ....

I drove most of the way to BC with my best friend. A trip to never be forgotten.

Wasn't too sure how to start a travel blog, so figured an initial entry in here might be a good thing to do.  Only 10 days until I leave and still finalizing some of the plans and reading tons of other blogs and review to steal everyone elses great experiences and ideas! First two weeks of my trip are on my own, a little aprehensive about not meeting people, but figure it will happen naturally.....any tips on best places to meet people (without getting drunk first!! lol) would be greatl...

Just thought i'd make this travelogue to show an overview of the places i've travelled in the last 10 years. In development!
