So…it’s been awhile. Geez…you’d think we’d had a baby or something. Well, in fact we have. In the early days of a gloomy and drizzly February we welcomed a little man to our family. And now, well, now I can’t remember life before him. Ewan and I have been together for 17 years and yet…
In December 2013 Ewan and I had a year of adventure before us: our 2014 Round the World trip. We had worked hard to save up and we were giddy and nervous about the impending travels. As we whittled down our possessions to just what we could carry, our minds raced with questions and potential…
Being right next door, it isn’t hard to make many trips dipping into the US, especially when we don’t have any mega-trips planned on the horizon. And somehow 2016 has become the year we visited the States the most (kind of crazy when you think of it since the loonie is not at its best!).…
So remember back when we were in India and thought we’d volunteered to be extras in a Bollywood movie? And then it turns out it was a French movie taking place in Mumbai? And remember when we’d spent HOURS sitting around and had to fight to get our 10 dollars of compensation for our 12…
After all our travels to the US, it was remarkable to us that we had never been to the American Capital. Fortunes had it that we were able to go to Washington DC over the Independence Day long weekend, so we were excited to see how the city celebrates July 4th. A huge bonus was…
Montreal is one of our favourite cities, but after a lapse in visits over recent years, both Ewan and I were a bit worried that the ‘je ne sais quoi’ charm we loved would be somehow missing when we planned a jaunt there over the May long weekend. Well, our worries were unfounded. Montreal proved…
‘Just because’ is always a good reason to travel, but truth be told, Ewan and I have been caught up in the day to day without many ‘just because’ trips floating around our heads. However, last fall we made a plan with fellow fan friends to see the Calgary Flames on a road trip. We…
My my…has time ever flown by. It’s nearly been two months since we moved and have been living it up in the west end of Toronto. Our new place is within walking distance of three funky neighbourhoods: Roncesvalles, Bloorwest Village and the Junction, though so far we’ve only really haunted Roncesvalles since it’s a closer…
A year ago today we arrived in the wee hours of the morning in Toronto. The day was overcast, much like it is today, and despite two days of travel we weren’t terribly jetlagged given the posh treatment Egypt Air gave us during our layover in Cairo. We made our way downtown, taking transit that…
