Have dreams, will travel
Located in Eastern Africa, in the northern area of Tanzania and the southwestern region of Kenya is where the world's most incredible and vastest unchanged migration of hoofed animals (and their predators) occurs. The Serengeti's 30,000 sq km / 12, 000 sq mi region bears witness to the movement of millions of wildebeest and thousands... Continue Reading →
Well I am back home in Canada and the daily routine has started up again. I will post some more photos of my trip over the next few days. Hopefully I won't be tardy in writing about my experiences (we all know I can be a bit tardy in this area. LOL). Where I left... Continue Reading →
Another island nation! And why not? Today we will check out Cape Verde (or Cabo Verde) which lies 570 km / 350 miles west of Africa in the central Atlantic Ocean and is made up of 9 inhabited volcanic islands and 8 islets. It had been isolated and uninhabited until the 1400s CE when it... Continue Reading →
We have reached the end of the alphabet and with that we are looking at Africa's great Zambezi River (also spelled Zambesi) where it flows through six countries, feeds the amazing Victoria Falls, and finally empties into the Indian Ocean. Africa's fourth largest river runs east through Angola, Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and on through Mozambique... Continue Reading →
A - B - SEE! Our alphabet tour continues to Chefchaouen in northern Morocco. My sister, some friends, and I have chatted about going Morocco, perhaps next year, and Chefchaouen is on the list!! Nicknamed "The Blue City" as many of the buildings are painted in various hues of blue, it is set against the backdrop... Continue Reading →

I am a member of several online travel groups. I like to use them for travel tips and inspiration. It was in one of these groups where I learned about Zanzibar, Tanzania. This archipelago lies in the Indian Ocean, a mere 25 - 50km/15 - 30mi off the Tanzanian coast. Historically the island grew spices which continues... Continue Reading →
Found along the Zambezi River, Victoria Falls provides a stunning border for Zambia and Zimbabwe. The stunning wall of water that plummets from its ledge spans over 1,700 m/5600 ft. There are six gorges that feed water into the Zambezi. Nearby towns of Livingstone, Zambia and Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe offer excursions to see the incredible... Continue Reading →
I hate bad dreams. They stick with me long after I have awoken. I have posted before about my dream life. I have always been a vivid dreamer. Some dreams bizarre, some happy and inevitably a few nightmares. The dreams I recall either amuse me or prompt me to discover what my brain and subconscious... Continue Reading →
Noisy, bustling, colourful, spicy, cultural - a beauty within a hectic design draws people into the magic of Marrakesh. Not the largest of Morocco's cities (Casablanca, Fes and Rabat precede it in size) yet possibly the most recognized. The souks (covered markets) alone come to mind when I think of this captivating city.  The maze of... Continue Reading →
No, this is not about the Dreamworks film of the same name. It is about the island country of the Republic of Madagascar.  With indigenous wildlife making upwards of 90% of that found on the island it is a bio-diverse locale indeed. However, years of human consumption has caused an increase in de-forestation and many animals are... Continue Reading →

A dormant volcano made up of three peaks (Kibo, Mawenzi and Shira), this mountain beckons for visitors to make passage to her apex. Despite her sheer size Mt Kilimanjaro... Continue Reading →
