This may appear as an odd choice for the Sunday Special, yet my missing friend has been a vital part of my travel experiences. For those who have not read about my recent loss (which was posted on the Facebook page), I carelessly left my beloved Ms Brown in the seat-front pocket when flying from... Continue Reading →
When I set off to Chicago after visiting my folks I expected to see the sites, try some good food and hopefully come away with an appreciation for the Windy City. Nothing more and certainly nothing less. What actually happened was far greater - I forged new friendships with people I genuinely enjoyed being with.... Continue Reading →

I had planned to wander around Chandni Chowk but the rains were coming down hard. I was already partly soaked from just crossing the street. I thought it best to head back to the New Delhi subway and back to the hotel. I sent Dempy a message on WhatsApp to see if she wanted anything. She... Continue Reading →
As much as I like researching obscure and lesser known whereabouts (at least to me) to feature on Sundays, now and then it is good to post about famous landmarks around the world. Afterall, they are well known for a reason. Rome's Colosseum is no exception. A truly stunning building that I was able to see... Continue Reading →

Now that I am back into a more-or-less regular routine here in Vancouver I have decided to bring back "Sunday's Special Spot" but with a bit of a change. Instead of a location or landmark I will also feature events. Travel is not only about just seeing a place - in many cases it is... Continue Reading →
