Travels, Trips & Tails – Welcome to Trip Sister! So many places to see and so many creatures to meet!

Hollow Notes Some shows are better left unseen… In early June, we had bought VIP tickets with front row seats for the Darryl hall and John Oates concert in Montreal, and the fact that we were able to purchase them so close to the Concert day should have been a red flag. On June 18th, I received and email from Ticketmaster saying the ...

Ottawa May 2018 OTTAWA in May is famous for its tulips. Although we missed the Tulip Festival, there were still plenty to admire with a tad less tourists. It was our first visit to Ottawa together, Mama D and I. I took the train to Montreal and we took 2 days to visit with family while staying at The Bonaventure Hotel, one of our favorite ...

Once Upon A Time in Vancouver : The 2018 Creation Entertainment OUAT Conference You probably all know the show that started in 2011 but we hadn’t heard of the ABC TV show “Once Upon A Time” until 2017 when we started watching it on Netflix. We were hooked from the beginning and started binge-watching 3 or 4 episodes every day once we started. It was in February 2018 when we were at season ...

Montreal Museums November 15-25, 2017 My mother never misses her Translator’s Convention in Montreal every November; it’s always the perfect excuse to get together and book a hotel room!

Toronto In September September, 2017 – Mama D had always wanted to go back to Toronto.

Making “Praguenade” The rivers flow and I try to go with the flow. I am now getting more familiar with my surroundings and last night I took a walk as the birds were saying “good night, don’t let the bugs bite”. I heard them from my room and I thought I should go for my first walk by myself after supper. I ...

DD in YYZ! (Toronto) The last time I was in Toronto was with my mother when I was very little and I don’t remember anything.

This time around though, there are plenty of pictures although just before I left my Canon G7 broke and I had to ...
