Springtime in Canada is magical. There are newly born deer (we saw tiny twin fawns in a roadside field) moose and bears, temperatures are perfect, while flowers and insects are popping up everywhere. Kinney Lake was an incidental inclusion on our three week RV trip around British Columbia and the Rocky Mountains.  After five days …

I just saw this Travel Theme over at Where’s My Backpack and had to make an entry, even though it is time for a new travel theme on Friday – Tomorrow.  You see Red is a favourite colour of mine.  It is a favourite colour in Asia also where it is considered to be lucky.  …

    Everybody likes a rainbow, right? What is not to like about this rainbow coloured glass building.   332 colored glass panels and 58 transparent glass panels  flood the interior of this large-scale convention and exhibition centre in Montreal with light. Luckily we had to walk past this building to get to our Montreal …

My top travel memories are all “first timers” – after all “they” are  the most exciting and memorable of memories.  Subsequent times may be more planned, refined, knowledgeable, or satisfying, but the first time is the one that always jumps feet first into that place in my head – right between the eyes. First House-Sit. …

The National Maine Monument Fund commissioned the statue which was dedicated in 1913.  The Fund raised the money through public subscription.  It commemorates the ship the USS Maine which was sunk in Havana in 1898.  The statue is situated at the main entrance to Central Park in New York – Merchants Gate. These are my …

KICKING HORSE PASS (HOW I LOVE THAT NAME)

Can I tell you, that as an Australian, the name Kicking Horse Pass held such connotations of the American Wild West, that we detoured from Lake Louise, Canada, just to see it. Whilst in the neighbourhood and lured by the impossibly attractive name of Emerald Lake (Emerald City – Wizard of Oz!) we arrived early …

Torn between the two! In Montreal, we stayed at Auberge Alternative , in a private room for two people for $85.00 a night all up including a breakfast of Cereal or the Montreal favourite – bagels, spreads, freshly brewed coffee/tea and juice. Situated in Old Montreal, the renovated factory, overflowed with character.  Reception was on …

Instead of the old saying  “A picture is worth a thousand words” I’ve coined a new one  “A picture can lead to a hundred words”. In 2010 we spent two months in Canada and as part of that trip we drove a hire car from Quebec City along the picture perfect northern banks of the …
