  • Sunday Special – The Tunnels of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan

    I have to admit that even though I was born and raised in this country, learned much of the geography, and even embarked on a (painfully) long bus trip through five provinces, I don’t know much about the sights of the province of Saskatchewan. Having spent a few days of my youth in the capital…

  • Sunday Special – Grand Beach, Manitoba

    The easternmost of the Canada’s Prairie provinces is Manitoba. It’s capital city is Winnipeg (also home of the Winnipeg Jets NHL hockey team). If you were to head north from Winnipeg for about 100 km/ 62 miles you would come upon Grand Beach on the banks of the Lake Winnipeg. I have heard of this beach years and years…

  • Sunday Special – Bay of Fundy, Atlantic Canada

    Seeing as Canada is the world’s second largest country by landmass it is going to have some varied and cool natural places to wander in. One of the most incredible (that I have yet to visit) is the Bay of Fundy /Baie de Fundy. Found straddling the provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia on…

  • Sunday Special – Osoyoos, BC (Canada)

    If you head to Canada’s Okanagan Valley you will come across a number of places to enjoy yourself in, especially if you like wine and fresh fruit. The climate of this area is prime for growing some of the tastiest fruit and delectable BC wines. I myself have been to Kelowna, Penticton, and the Naramata…

  • Sunday Special – Ibiza, Spain

    During this time of the COVID-19 I will periodically post about my travels and travel ideas. Hopefully we can soon return to the world. Take care, stay safe. The Mediterrean Sea has a number of islands within its beautiful blue waters. Among them are Spain’s Balearic Islands, an archipelago of numerous islands, four of them…

  • Sunday Special – Tbilisi, Georgia

    During this time of the COVID-19 I will periodically post about my travels and travel ideas. Hopefully we can soon return to the world. Take care, stay safe, stay inside. A modern city with a long-standing history, Tbilisi is on the rise for becoming a destination hot spot. In fact, when I was planning my…

  • Sunday Special – Socotra Island, Yemen

    During this time of the COVID-19 I will periodically post about my travels and travel ideas. Hopefully we can soon return to the world. Take care, stay safe, stay inside. I think of most islands as microcosms of life yet maintaining individual traits, allowing a blend of the two. Then there are a few islands…

  • Sunday Special – Samoa

    About hafway between Hawaii and New Zealand you will find the mostly unspoilt Polynesian island country of Samoa. Made up of two larger islands and several smaller ones, it is a country that still retains much of its Polynesian culture. The capital of Apia is located on the island of Upolu, the second largest island,…
