Have dreams, will travel
Hello on this (Canadian) Thanksgiving weekend . I am in beautiful northern BC visiting my sister. Autumn is in full swing with cool air & beautiful fall colours abounding. But today we are heading back to Jordan - specifically to my time in Petra. Seeing the Treasury at Petra was the catalyst for this trip.... Continue Reading →
The second week of this trip was to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan! So many people said I would love Jordan. That often sets me on edge. What if I don't like it? I just had a fabulous week in Egypt and met some wonderful people who had such exuberance and positive energy. We had... Continue Reading →
Oh yes! I love good food! It is a true pleasure even if I don't consider myself a foodie. Maybe because I don't eat out that often (and I'm a finicky eater). I love finding good places to eat when I travel. I don't have a criteria on how to find good places to eat.... Continue Reading →
Everything I was ever told about Hong Kong was a lie!!!! Yes you read that correctly. I was lied to! LIED TO! Alright, melodrama aside - I wasn't lied to, however, what I was told over the years by many is not the Hong Kong that I discovered through both research and on my recent... Continue Reading →
Hello from Hong Kong. I've been here four nights and have a precious two more left. This has been a trip like no other. Two hours before leaving to come here, after clearing security at Vancouver, I received some very worrisome news. Needless to say trying to enjoy myself was weighed down with concern. Though...

Art aficionados, you may want to add this place to your list.

A change of pace from Japan's city life, a small journey via train and boat to this unique island may... Continue Reading →

These places or works of art hold a special place in my memories, my heart, and bring a smile to my lips. Michelangelo's Slave and Bound Slave, Louvre Museum (Paris) - I have... Continue Reading →

Linda shares with us her experiences seeing Everest from Base Camp and the people of Nepal. Thanks Linda! WTW: You traveled to Nepal in October 2016.... Continue Reading →
Japan is a country that is on my bucket list and I hope to visit it in the near future. There is much to see in this small yet historic country. Where to start? Let's go with Kyoto. The former imperial capital of Japan, Kyoto is city of 1.5 million that is recognized for its beauty... Continue Reading →
Hello!! Well my travel time is nearing its end. I have not been posting much, I know, but it's a bit hard with just a phone. Oh who am I kidding? We all know I rarely post while travelling - the stories will come later. Myanmar has been good yet tinged with some gastrointestinal distress... Continue Reading →
I first saw a photo of this cave on Pinterest and I thought "hey, a great place to post about for the Sunday Special". I made note of it and came back to it now. As I often do, I research the web about the place I am posting. Some places reflect my own personal... Continue Reading →
I thought it fun today to feature a festival. I did a quick search and low and behold I found a mud festival. Playing in mud would be so much fun! And probably great for the skin. Ends up that the Boryeong Mud Festival was, in fact, started by its use in cosmetics. Instead of... Continue Reading →
