The Rock of Rockley
My very first post on this website was about our visit to a rock. Charlene, my beloved wife, was none too impressed that I was taking her to see a rock and expressed a lot of displeasure that we were wasting our time on it.…
Sherbrooke, Quebec
We had to pass through Quebec to get to New Brunswick, and Sherbrooke was the halfway point for this leg of the trip. Initially, I was going to wake up at midnight and drive straight through without stopping to get to my destination on the…
Sunset in Collingwood
When Charlene and I are unsure what to do while sitting at home and when the day gets late, there is always the opportunity to watch a sunset. We have been to many places, but if we want to see a sunset close to home,…

Road Trip – But When?
When we decided where to spend our summer holidays, I started to make an itinerary of the places we would see. I kept finding things to do in Quebec and realized that we were spending too much time there, so much so that we could…
