In my travels around Ontario and now into Quebec and the States, I have been to thousands of places over the past years. The one thing that I have learned in all of this is that there are so many places to visit and see.…
I never felt so uncomfortable taking a picture as I did for this one. I am a bus driver, and the school board I serve has this excellent policy of having PD Days the day before a long weekend. This is great because it turns…
Life has a way of changing plans. I had to cancel our original summer vacation and discovered we could do it again. Because so many of the places we would visit in the first itinerary would be fully booked, I had to come up with a…
Life has a way of changing things. One thing that changed was our summer vacation. I created a plan and discovered we could not make this journey. But fear not! We will not venture to the West this year but will be able to do…

Planning a trip takes a lot of time and effort. My general rule is that it takes as much time to plan a trip as it does to take it. For a six-week journey, like when we travelled to Alaska and back, it took six…
It was a beautiful August day. We were on our week-long trip through Quebec. Since we both love zoos and aquariums, I ensured that Aquarium Du Quebec was included in our exploration of this incredible province. Our visit was during the restrictive COVID times, and…
