It’s been a busy couple of days in Dawson Creek, and I could easily stay another day. But, Tumbler Ridge beckons, so we’ll be on the road this morning. I mainly want to tell you about the driving route that I created after noticing that there are none for...

I finally got out on a real ride today, way later than usual. Just too much going on. Well, I actually was out on the bike for an hour or so the day before we went Haines over Easter, but an hour doesn’t real count 🙂 The plan today...

On Tuesday, we finally reached the special day that this trip was planned to celebrate – Cathy’s 50th birthday. After our long and hot day at Pearl Harbor the previous day, this would be a calm beach day, with dinner at a great restaurant that night. After a walk...

On Friday and Saturday, we were in Lahaina, Maui. I had a 5-hour scuba charter booked for Saturday morning, but other than that we had no plans. Seeing the sun rise from the top of Haleakala is one of the must-sees on Maui, but even with our overnight stay,...

On Thursday, we were scheduled to be docked at Kailua-Kona (Kailua Village) from 11:00 am until 8:00 pm, and our plan was to rent a car and just explore Kona district, with a coffee plantation and a historic site being the must-sees. Sunrise off the west coast of the...

I had to make a quick trip to Skagway yesterday to pick up some stuff for the motorhome at the post office and Wings, but with Fall colours at their peak, a great lunch at the Yukon Suspension Bridge and some other fun, it turned out to be a...

It was a calm morning, chatting with Dad over a couple of pots of coffee, enjoying the view from his place high on a hill overlooking Okanagan Lake in West Kelowna. I had 2 things on my list for the day – to re-visit Father Pandosy Mission and then...

What a day this was! On Saturday, we spent the morning in the charming little wine village of Rudesheim, then cruised through a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the castle-lined 65 km of the Rhine River downstream from Rudesheim. After editing, I have 714 photos in today’s folder. That’s probably...

On Monday we had a broad overview of Vancouver, yesterday we visited a few of the many attractions to see the details. This was the view from our 9th-floor room at the Westin Bayshore. A local we chatted with yesterday pointed out that while the downtown areas of many...

One of the magazines we get that I really enjoy is “tidings“, a Canadian food and wine publication. In the May/June edition that recently arrived, there’s a feature article about cocktails, one of which is called “Caribou Crossing” – and, of course, I can’t let a name like that...
