Our cruise to New England and Canada has been such a great success that I reckon I should share the benefits of our collective learnings with all the “newbies” out there. So, here’s my top five tips for those who dream of cruising.
I was beginning to think that old Quebec smells a bit, er how should I say, agricultural. Then I realised, we’re riding in a carriage that’s behind the horse.
Another day, another new experience. Like most new things we try, we suck at it the first time!
They say if you stand with one foot in a bucket if ice and your other foot in a bucket of boiling water, on average, you’re feeling pretty comfortable. Well, on average, our trip to the US today has been good. It’s one of those three (well five actually) legged races where you travel all…
They say good women are hard to find. So are keys, jackets, placemats and glasses.
I’ve been blogging trips for a while on TravelPod, but, sadly that platform has closed down. So – Wordpress, here we come.
Here’s a quick photo mosaic of some of our trips
Black bears are way bigger than I thought, especially when you see them up close. But, as usual, I’m getting ahead of myself.
If you live on the edge, life can never be boring. It’s a long weekend in BC and we’re off on a road trip. Kirsty wants to visit her friends John and Jane (these are not their real names – for reasons that will be explained later). We’re a bit vague about where they live as we haven’t actually been given an address, just a rendezvous point somewhere near Kamloops, where we will be given GPS coordinates for “the farm”.
In a famous book series a guy named Ford Prefect advises you never go into space without a towel. Well we’re starting on our NRA (Nanette Retirement Adventure) and I’ve followed the sage advice of my friend J and packed a stapler.
We must have been starved for good songs back in the early 70’s. I remember, like many others, singing along to “♪L A International Airport – where the big jet engines roar ♪..”. It always sounded so glamorous, all that stuff about silver wings and friendly skies. Well, the good news is that LAX is much the same today as it was when the song took the world by storm in 1971. The bad news is – well – the same as the good news.
