After a crazy day in Vancouver on Wednesday (April 15th), Thursday and Friday were relatively quiet. Cathy and I went for a walk to Stanley Park on Thursday afternoon, I went for another early-morning walk on Friday, then at noon on Friday we started for home. Thursday began with...

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...

Today is the first of 38 days of the grandest Adventure Cathy and I have ever been on. Although it wasn’t intended that way, perhaps it is a celebration of the 25th anniversary of our first meeting, at Carcross on June 10, 2000. We’re starting in Paris, then most...

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...

I’m way behind now, but I still want to post about my trip to Calgary. I flew down to see my kids on April 3rd and returned on the 8th. Unfortunately I caught a cold my last day there, and the day after I got home I was down...

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...

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...

As I start writing this, it’s Sunday, June 16. Cathy and I flew from Whitehorse to Vancouver on June 1st, and arrived home the night of the 14th. The heart of the trip was a 7-night cruise from Vancouver to Whittier on Holland America’s Nieuw Amsterdam with two of...
