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...

I really got carried away with this post – it has 66 photos and 1,972 words, and took me two days to write, but it was a crazy day. I had taken my new “travel” laptop with the intention of writing briefer-than-usual posts each day, then just couldn’t do...

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...

Cathy and I flew down to Vancouver on September 23rd and stayed at the Sheraton Wall Centre hotel for one night, enjoyed the lovely weather they were having, then came home. Then on October 27th (my 75th birthday) we did it again, staying for two nights at the Fairmont...

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...

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...

We’re now on Day 8 of this trip, which features a 17-night cruise from Vancouver to Hawaii and back on Holland America’s Koningsdam. Often we book trips at least a year ahead but we just decided about 3 months ago to book this, after a lot of discussion about...

Tuesday, July 27th, our second full day in Vancouver, was a recovery day for Cathy. I stayed with her until early afternoon, then went on an 11-km walk to see a part of Stanley Park I’d never seen in the 40 years I lived in the Vancouver area. Most...

July 26th, our first full day in Vancouver, started early – Cathy had an angiogram scheduled for 07:00. It was a pretty quiet day for me, but I did take a walk along the harbour on a spectacular day. Staying at the Sheraton Wall Centre hotel right across the...

Last week Cathy and I had to return to Vancouver. It was another medical trip unfortunately, but walking and photography are stress relievers for me and I put on about 35 km during the 2 full and 2 part days there. The 3 main walks are mostly what I’ll...
