That being said, we did purchase some home-made banana bread, rocky road brownies and Nanaimo bars...the things we have to do!; That's just about it for now...I think everybody else is asleep and I hear a certain Nanaimo bar calling my name...If, in the morning, I'm busted, I'll just blame it on Bluebell Glutton Fairy. Time to fly...

... trip. My former career as a high school teacher in Ottawa offered plenty of opportunity for travel during the summer months. More often than not, my destination of choice was France and other parts of Europe. For that reason, I have the fondest memories of Mirabel International Airport in Montreal since it served as my gateway to Europe for many years.

... travel arrangements, she would just be overcome by the anticipation of going to Hawaii. That is when I would hear a squeal of joy coming out of the living room. I like traveling but I don't get excited about it. Nevertheless, it was fun watching her get so much pleasure out of the preparation stage. Barbara launched herself into the search for relevant information about a month before our departure. We rejected cruises and escorted tours as a ...

... Pope's famous words "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing". Ultimately, I did the obvious. I presented Alaska and Yukon as seen through my own eyes and through my own impressions as faulty or correct as that might be. I came to a new land not as a critic but a sponge ready to absorb and accentuate the positive which I saw in almost everything. I left Alaska/Yukon filled with a new sense of satisfaction. My initial modest goal was to catch the fall colours of ...

Last Visit Sept. 15, 2006 Date of Blog Jan. 20, 2007 What a Butte! - as in Beautiful Connaught Park Here we are in the middle of a Prince George winter. It has been a beautiful winter with constant snow cover since early December. However, we have not had a lot of snow other than one real blizzard and none of the bad winter storms which have lashed the lower mainland causing much property damage, especially in Stanley Park in Vancouver.

... Railway Station, next to which the tourist office is located, south-east into a mostly industrial area-- bordering the railway tracks. It accomplished the aim of having few people around, but the surroundings left a lot to be desired. My next attempt was in the residential area to the west of us which was nice enough but still had too many people with too many comments about lack of snow. That's when I came upon Fort George Park and the Fraser River. Since my ...
