And as it has progressed over time I have come to a few realizations. In regards to travel, there are two... Continue Reading →
It was back in spring of 2015, on my Big Trip, that I visited Slovenia's capital city of Ljubljana. I had not intended to visit until some hostel mates in Bratislava went on about how lovely it was. I must say that along with "Ljubljana"(loo-blee-ah-nuh) being fun to say, it was a darling of city... Continue Reading →
In the last Sunday Special the focus was Pic Paradis Mountain in the Caribbean's Saint Martin/Sint Maarten island. Today we're heading closer to home, well my home of Vancouver that is, to Whistler, BC.

It is home to the capital city of Ottawa, a very large section of Niagara Falls (the Horeshoe Falls), and Drake's hometown of The 6 (that'd be Toronto). Ontario is also where you find the Bonnechere Caves. The Bonnechere Caves are... Continue Reading →
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... Continue Reading →
The effects of this pandemic are far and long reaching, no doubt about that. We have all been affected in some way. With regards to travel, I don't doubt its future will be quite different. I myself expect that I won't be leaving Canada until well into 2021, pending the safety of travel by then.... 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. With many Greek Isles, it makes deciding which one to feature a bit of a lovely challenge. Although I have been to Greece I have... Continue Reading →

Paris' crowning museum is, of course, the Louvre Museum (Musée du Louvre). It's not the world's largest as far as museums go - that title belongs the Smithsonian in Washington, DC. It is however, the world's largest art museum (and the world's second largest museum overall). A mind-boggling 38,000 paintings, sculptures, and artifacts spanning millennia... Continue Reading →
