This is the 3rd and final installment of my Ontario travelogue, taking us from Toronto to Niagara Falls, back to London and finally home to Whitehorse. In the Yukon you drive for hours to get to the next town or attraction, but in Ontario there are towns everywhere and...

It’s looking like it might be a very cool and wet summer this year, but there are soooo many things I want to do and see! We’re probably not going on any cruises this year, but there are lots of short trips on the list of options. I’ve been...

I’ve been quiet here on the blog for a couple of weeks now. Life got very, very busy and there was just no time (and I wasn’t doing anything very interesting anyway), but now there’s a calm spot 🙂 This past weekend, Cathy and I made a quick trip...

November 25: Yesterday was a long day, and it was nice to wake up in a comfortable bed. This was our first stay at the Acclaim Hotel but it won’t be our last. The only possible downside is that a lot of their amenities are fancy/gimmicky and hard to...

November 24: It’s time to leave the warmth. The weather reports from home don’t make that a very happy thing to have to do, but I do miss my home and my fur-kids. We had a 12:35 Air Canada flight to Toronto and then on to Calgary for the...

On Monday morning we flew out of Whitehorse, and we’re now on board Holland America’s Noordam at Port Everglades, Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Three flights totalling 9 hours got us to a very different world. Here’s how it went… November 1: We took off at 11:10 am – this is...

The first step getting out of the Yukon is the tough one. Not as tough as it used to be thanks to Air North, but still an “ouch” financially. I just got the Fall sale email from Alaska Airlines and when I dug into it and saw that you...

I flew down to Kelowna, BC, on Monday for a family visit, and will be heading home tonight. I don’t usually leave my car at the airport, but with a flight that lands in Whitehorse at midnight on a day that Cathy has to work, decided to do it...

My 21-day adventure on the Coral Princess is over. I’ve now been home for 27 hours and the ship is already so far gone from my mind that it could have been months ago that I was on her. At some point I’ll write up a full review and...

It’s now 09:05 on the final day of this sailing on the Coral Princess – we’ll be “At Sea” all day. At the moment we’re in the open ocean off Bella Bella, British Columbia – between Vancouver Island and the Queen Charlottes. The seas are fairly calm and the...
