Travelodge Vancouver Lionsgate North Vancouver

As much as I love traveling, I loathe flying just as passionately. Why? because I just feel that it's not natural for humans to fly, if it were, we'd have wings (thus invoking an age old argument).But really, it's the unnaturalness of it it that conjures up horrific images in my head should man's invention fail. But I also think, that sadly, as ...

My 2 favorite countries to visit, out of my now total of 22, are Thailand and Ireland. Although both are very different the common denominators they share are friendly, gracious people and breath-taking scenery. I will describe the Thai experience this time with Ireland to come another day.

Twice I have visited Thailand - first in Jan./...

On ANZAC Day we went down the road to an ANZAC service the Aussie Expat Meet up Club had organised, first time we'd heard of it. My C...

Hindsight would prove we could have ...

By the time I got all the financing in place, we went back to the owner, and he had sold it to someone else! Apparently that is quite common in Turkey. Oh we...

Næste morgen stod vi tidligt og spiste en solid morgenmad, Vi skulle nå den første af dagens færger i Saltery Bay kl. 9:25. Køreturen gik langs med vandet på "Solskinskysten". Desværre var det meste af ruten lagt inde mellem høje træer så det var kun i glimt at der var udsigt over vandet. Var fremme i god tid før afgang og det var meget godt for...
