Have dreams, will travel
Ah wanderlust! My familiar friend that spurs on my travel flames and sends me seeking inspiration. The Sunday Specials that I post are one way to find travel inspiration. Another way is through movies set in various distant locales, fanning those flames of wanderlust — even more so during this pandemic. As I watch (and... Continue Reading →
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. COVID-19 has affected pretty much everyone in the world in some way or another. In my case I am at home pretty much all the... Continue Reading →
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 →
When the word pyramid is uttered it is safe to say most people associate the word with the Great Pyramids of Giza. And rightly so - they are incredible to see and have survived over several millennia. They, however, are not the only pyramids in the world nor the only ones in Egypt (though they...

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 →
I am currently Jordan. This trip has been so hectic that I am behind in posting photos but they will keep coming. So far the history of Egypt has amazed me. The condition of many places is astounding well considering they are thousands of years old. The government is proactive in restoring and maintaining their... Continue Reading →
Victoria Falls is on my bucket list. This incredible natural wonder that is bordered by both Zambia and Zimbabwe looks spellbinding! In fact I featured it here on Sunday Special a bit ago. Today I am featuring it as a thrill seeker post since there are a plethora of adventure activities that you can take part in.... 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 →
The 1000th UNESCO World Heritage site is Botswana's expansive Okavango Delta. This delta, deep in the heart of the Kalahari Basin, is fed by the Okavango River which has transported sand through its waters from Angola for centuries. The uniqueness of the Okavango Delta is that one would not expect it to exist in such... 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 →
