It’s now the evening of June 22, but I’m continuing to back-date the posts about our cruise-based trip as if I had posted them as we were travelling, which I was unable to do. This post covers June 11th and 12th, and the final one will be about the...

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...

Yesterday started off as a drive into Whitehorse to pick up a new phone, but kept evolving and turned into a superb drive to Kluane Lake and back – 8 hours, 511 km. I had taken some extra photo gear and clothing with me with a drive of some...

Spending 2 nights in Honolulu (October 17th and 18th) was a last-minute change to our itinerary that was necessitated by the tragic fires in August that completely destroyed Maui’s cruise port, Lahaina. Our only plan was dinner at a place that’s very special to us, and that’s really all...

We had no real plans for our trip to Vancouver other than medical visits and a couple of dinners Cathy had booked, but photographing Vancouver’s great architecture can keep me amused for many days. We had two part days and two full ones in the city this time. I...

We only had one special event for my 3rd and 4th days with my kids and their families in the Calgary area – attending one of my granddaughters’ basketball games with most of the family. But we kept busy with a little of this and a little of that....

I suggested to my daughter yesterday that we go to Drumheller for lunch, and it turned into an excellent day. So excellent that I’ve had to break it up into 2 blog posts. We hit the road at about 09:30. It’s just over an hour’s drive, and there’s a...

After reaching Earl’s Cove by ferry on Day 40 of the trip, June 4th, I got a camp site at Timberline RV Park, and then drove to Egmont to see if I could get on a boat tour to Princess Louisa Inlet. Picking Timberline RV Park as a place...

Day 37 of the trip, June 1st, was a day of exploring with my RVing friends Barb and Dave Rees, lunch with them at Lund, and then lots of walking in Powell River with my dogs. The Willingdon Beach Campground, which I had booked at Barb’s suggestion, was working...

After spending a week at Bear Creek Provincial Park in West Kelowna following Cathy’s arrival from Whitehorse, our first day on the road with the whole family back together was a very short one, just 142 km to Osoyoos. This was Day 26 of the trip – Thursday, May...
