A Mother and Daughter trip to Bermuda, On a Budget

Bermuda is not only for couples and honeymooners, it’s for everyone! It was on my list of places to visit after reading Mark Twain was quoted as saying everybody can all go to heaven if they wanted, he would rather stay in Bermuda. It was also on the list for the caves which Mark Twain also visited. Mama D made the trip possible after working 7 days a week for more than a month. Thank you Mama!! With chickungunya invading the Caribbeans, mosquito free Bermuda was a perfect sun vacation. The second half of November’s weather daytime high was 26 and nighttime low was 16. We were fortunate to have beautiful weather and never had to use our umbrellas past ...

DD and Mama D are going to Walt Disney World!

Yes! Finally I am going back to Orlando, Florida. I am so happy! Mama D offered the trip, she’s such a sweety! She thought it would be better to see each other somewhere warm this winter instead of coming all the way from Quebec to New Brunswick. Our trip is from January 16-22. I am leaving from Moncton and Mama D leaves from Montreal. We are both meeting in Toronto and flying together to Orlando. We will then take the Disney Magical Express to our resort, Port Orleans – Riverside. We both have our yellow tags to put on our luggage before we leave. So far the weather in Florida seems a little cooler than normal. The weather is all messed ...

Banff Gonfola to Sulphur Mountain

We arranged to arrive early at the Gondola, taking the transit bus from the hotel. For $5 each we both bought a day pass right on the bus. The gondola trip to the mountain is short but the views are breathtaking. We didn’t quite know what to expect and we were pleasantly surprised with the long boardwalk up the observatory that we can actually see from our hotel! We were fortunate to see a few animals like the bighorn sheep, the American pica, a hoary marmot, a few squirrels and a grey jay while having our lunch. The facilities were still in construction and there was a lot of noise but the beauty made up for it. We spent about 3 hours ...

Via Rail Ocean Line Sleeper Trip Moncton To Montreal

How lucky am I! I am going to Montreal again and taking the train, my new favorite way to travel. The Ocean Line is the Via Rail line that runs from Halifax to Montreal. I get on in Moncton and prefer the train to flying. I get a cabin for one or a cabin for two and have my own little hotel room on wheels. On the way to Montreal the train leaves Moncton around 5 PM and arrives in Montreal at 9 am. On the return trip it leaves Montreal at 6 pm and arrives in Moncton around noon. The train starts in Halifax and I’d love to do the entire Ocean line at some point to see the country ...

Arctic Foxes at Two Rivers Wildlife Park

Arctic Foxes at Two Rivers Wildlife Park : DD got up close and personal with the Arctic Foxes when we visited the Two Rivers Wildlife Park on Cape Breton Island.

Nova Scotia – Mersey River Chalets – Orange Canoe in Fall

Nova Scotia – Mersey River Chalets – Orange Canoe in Fall : Great! When we got to the resort at 4, it was still warm (11celcius) and was the only nice sunny day of our stay.

Nova Scotia – Kejimkujik National Park – Dami at Meadow Beach

Nova Scotia – Kejimkujik National Park – Dami at Meadow Beach : Kejimkujik has a super fun biketrail along the winding Mersey River. It was our favorite bike ride ever!

A day in PEI with The Greater Moncton Dahlia Club

Yesterday, Dami and I had our first organized bus tour although Jasper and Alaska, our Burmese cats, didn’t approve of us leaving at 7 in the morning and returning at 9:30 in the evening! It was a long day indeed but it was nice for Dami not having to concentrate on the road and being able to enjoy the scenery and play some games on his smart phone. The weather was perfect and we met a great bunch of life loving people. I had my Anne of Green Gables book and a PEI travel guide on my phone and was able to read 1-10th of Anne’s story. I am a very slow reader but so far I can already tell I ...

Nova Scotia – Yarmouth – Fastcat to Portland maine

Nova Scotia – Yarmouth – Fastcat to Portland maine : We were right on time, one ahour ahead. Enough to wait in line and procede to the the ticket booth and get on the boat, park and go to the main floor. Although 300$ wasn't worth it. Nice boat but the ride on the Ferries in British Columbia are less expensive and way nicer. More pictures from Nova Scotia in our Nova Scotia Photo Gallery
