Travels With Stacey

We have been to Niagara numerous times. This region in Ontario has a lot to offer, and for the first two years of our travels, it was our top destination. But we never went to Skylon Tower. We would see it every time we were…

There was a time when I thought anything more than a two-hour drive was just too far, meaning I would never visit Algonquin Provincial Park. Algonquin is an enormous park that is impossible to miss on the map. It is actually larger than some countries.…

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…

Our first stop on our Summer 2024 Trip was Presqu’ile Provincial Park. Usually, the first place we stay on the opening leg of our journey is a hotel. We both work and to make the distance, we leave as quickly as possible and skip the…

I never thought I would ever visit a cemetery. It is odd to visit a cemetery where no one you know is buried. I hardly saw these sacred places for the dead as a tourist attraction for the living.   I believe the first cemetery tour…

I had never heard so much screaming in my life. My mother was pleading to leave this place. My wife was frantic with the events that were going on. My first and only thought was, “Let’s bring the grandkids here!” We visited Parc Omega in…
