Isn’t funny - I rarely write about Canada, my adoptive country for the past decade. I live here and I felt like a local (although I'm not as polite and I have way lower resistance to cold), somehow it makes day trips, weekend trips, and any domestic trips as if it were just another thing to pass the...

When I was a young lass, going on a cruise was something I only heard on TV. It’s like a super-fancy-you-got-try-it-once-as-the-epitome-of-your-success-in-life thing.

One thing I'm really really good at is finding something totally unrelated and not even near to important when I have something else more pressing to do. It’s not procrastination, it’s more like focus deviation. Like when I'm supposed to wrap up our Mexico trip posts, I suddenly have th...

As I've mentioned before, this blog supposedly serves as our digital journal for the trips we did. Emphasis on the words OUR and WE. Which means, the stories in this blog should be about us, things that we did, we experienced, and how we felt about it.  I’ve been writing most of th...
