... differently, etc: - bring walky-talkie's! (nap times one parent can go and other can watch, vice versa) - bring our own pedialite (if in a location where there's no or limited shopping) - bring a LOT more clothes for the girls as laundry is crazy priced on these ships ($1.95 per small piece of laundry - onesie, underwear, etc) - get a bigger room even if it is a bit more expensive, preferably one with a balcony so again, nap time doesn't mean stuck inside! - never book a ...

... car and assumes I've gone hitchhiking or something I guess. I walk out of the bathroom, and he just takes off, backing right into me in the process.

I must admit I had a tear in my eye as we neared Yellowknife, as it was -1 and snow on the ground as we flew over Great Slave Lake and the sub-arctic wilderness. Catherine drove me to my apartment (fortunately I had been able to track down a cleaner when I was in Edmonton to go in that morning) and things were pretty much in ...

I spent the morning of September 23 taking photos in Dawson City and gathering information about the Dempster Highway.

... this historical series of aircraft which did so much in the exploration of the Canadian North and other parts of the world. In April 2007, Viking Air of Victoria, BC announced the production of a "400 Series" DHC-6 Twin Otter to be built in Calgary, Alberta. Apparently the vital role of this aircraft had not been filled by any other manufacturer which led to the renaissance of this successful chapter in Canadian aircraft history. Nahanni ...
