Cathy and I flew to Vancouver on Tuesday, April 14th, and returned home on Friday the 17th. After a brutal winter of record-breaking cold and then snow, it was wonderful. It began as a medical trip – a 6-month post-surgery checkup for me – but we added an extra...

This week, Whitehorse was part of an historic event for the Indonesian Air Force – we were one of the stops on the delivery flight of their second new Airbus A400M Atlas aircraft, tail number A-4002, serial number 150. Two A400Ms were ordered by Indonesia in 2021, but last...

This is 30th and final blog post from our 38-day tour of northern Europe (in the Post Archives, the tour posts start on June 24th, 2025). This post is for people who are passionate about travel, for people who are fascinated by airports, and in particular for window-seat junkies...

On Tuesday, April 8th, I flew home with Air North after a particularly good visit with most of my family and a life-long friend. I had my son drop me at the airport at 10:30 for my 12:35 flight – being early greatly reduces my stress levels and of...

Saturday, November 23rd – time to go home. Well, not quite home for me – I’d spend two nights in Calgary with my kids and their families. The first photo shows our view from the third floor of the Marriott at 07:25. Our flight didn’t leave until 12:18 but...

Ajo was a surprise to me. I had never heard of it, and it didn’t look like much from a quick search while I was planning this trip. But I wish I had had 3 days to explore, because it’s got a fascinating history and the surrounding country has...

There wasn’t anything important to tell you about for 6 weeks, but I just returned last night from a wonderful road trip in Arizona with my daughter, and now I have lots to tell you about and show you. This was pretty much a spur-of-the-moment trip – after deciding...

This is the 11th and final post from our Alaska cruise and Sunshine Coast road trip. On June 13th, we were in no hurry to leave Sechelt, where the Davis Bay Pier offered great views of passing boats, and the crystal-clear waters made me want to wade in. We...

The expected storm hit overnight while we were docked at Whittier, and the morning of June 10, the 10th day of our trip, was truly ugly. The next two photos were shot at 06:05. We weren’t looking forward to going out there, though the walk out in the wind...

It’s hard to say what started this, but I noted yesterday that I had shot a dozen photos of Whitehorse from the top of the clay cliffs – part of the airport trail network – on May 14, 2000. I posted two of the ones that show the most...
