The Road to Hana, a drive so nice, we did it twice! For this year’s journey through the jungle, we decided to hit up different places than we did on our first go-around. Not a hard task since there are many, many ways to explore the legendary Hana Highway.
On a warm, windy day in Maui, we took a delightful drive along the west coast of the island. The highlight of the day was standing on the cliffs over Honolua Bay watching surfers attack some amazing waves.

Forget pub crawls, I’m all about the beach crawl. And who wouldn’t be? Less time to get ready, less creepers invading your space, more sun, more fun. After our Little Beach experience, we were having a drink at the local pub when out of the blue Diana says “We should do a beach crawl tomorrow!” After a … [Read more]
Like all travel lists, some of the items you put on it start to fall off once you arrive at your destination. For New York, I had a list of museums to visit as long as my arm. I had high hopes to go to the MOMA, Guggenheim, American Museum of Natural History, WTC, and The … [Read more]
Over the summer, Travel Manitoba invited the super-sweet and fun-loving blogger, BCRobyn, to spend 28 days exploring, tasting and enjoying all the great things a Manitoba summer has to offer. Her itinerary had her packed to the gills – to say the least! If you think there’s not much to do in this province, you … [Read more]
“You need to see Old Quebec.” is what I heard from a few people before our trip to Montreal this summer. So on a very early Tuesday morning, Chuck and I rode the rails to spend a day exploring Quebec City — one of North America’s oldest cities. The train was a treat, it’s not something … [Read more]
Montreal and the Rogers Cup treated us to five fabulous days of live tennis and a lively atmosphere at Uniprix Stadium this August. I’m hooked — tennis tournaments are so much fun! All in all, we ended up cheering on some great players in 10 matches, including Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray, Richard Gasquet, Marinko Matosevic and … [Read more]
While in Montreal, le Chuck and I spent an afternoon walking through the Botanical Garden and looking up, way way up, at the larger-than-life masterpieces of Mosaïcultures Internationales. We were enthralled. Definitely a huge highlight to a vacation that had so many. The Mosaïcultures exhibit brings together horticulture artists from around the world to create living … [Read more]
This summer, me and le Chuck went on a tennis adventure to Montreal, The Beautiful City, and (in my best hoser voice)… what a beauty it is, eh?
Last weekend was our 5th annual Girl’s Weekend at my sister’s cabin near Gimli, Manitoba. It’s two days of relaxation, food, drink and hilarity. We started with wine and appetizers on Friday, then moved to soaking in the hot sun by the pool (with sangria!) on Saturday, then ended it with a bonfire bang (this … [Read more]
Spring was super late this year, which made the garden grow like gang busters once it did finally arrive. This is my favourite time of gardening season, everything is coming up roses and peonies and poppies and portulaca and fat cats.
So who knew there was lots of learning to be had at the Red River Ex? Last night we spent the evening at Winnipeg’s mega fair touring mobile homes (yep, we actually did that), learning about farm animals, touching reptiles, checking out military action, viewing interesting art, eating crazy carny food and enjoying the overall … [Read more]
2012 was another fantastic year of travel adventures. Last year’s highlights were Gimli, Orlando and Turks & Caicos.
On Saturday, our Northern Lights tour group spent the day dog sledding at Bluesky Expeditions. Our vehicle got stuck on the road in, so Bluesky’s owner, Gerald, hopped on his ski-doo and came and “rescued” us. We rode in a sled full of moose fur to the sled dogs.
Last weekend, we drove up to Gimli and stayed at my mom’s place for a couple of days. The weather was beautiful and we were lucky to witness an amazing sunrise come up over the lake.
