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! We liked the Bonaventure Hotel so much on our previous trip that we booked a room for 10 nights. I love their beds and their feather pillows by Plume Canada. I loved them so much I ...

Toronto In September September, 2017 – Mama D had always wanted to go back to Toronto. We had been when I was 9, coming back from a visit with my uncle friends in Rochester NY but didn’t spend much time. This time we had 7 full days of visit. We met in Montreal where we stayed at our now favorite hotel; Hotel Bonaventure. While ...

The Cuban city of Morón The resorts in Cuba along Cayo Coco are amazing, little jewels hidden along the white sandy beaches of turquoise waters. When you’re there you are in a fairly perfect bubble of comfort: the food is abundant, the grounds are idyllic, the drinks are free and flowing, and all you need to do is decide which beach chair has the best ...

Moncton Highland Games Went to the Highland Games in Moncton to start the Summer with something different and despite the rain and a muddy field we had a good time. If you like bagpipes and bagpipe and drum bands this was the place for you…luckily we had earplugs and they came in pretty handy! We watched the 16 pound hammer throw and some ...

SpongeBob & Disco at Downtown Disney Today is a big day as we’re off to go see the premiere of the new #D SpongeBob Movie at Downtown Disney! We got dressed up in our finest white slacks and colored shirts to be real Florida tourists and headed down for our early showing of the movie. It was nice to visit Downtown Disney, it’s more like a ...

Pancake Mushroom Tree Pancake Mushroom Tree : While I was hiking in Mount Orford Park in Quebec I saw this incredible spiral staircase of mushrooms that looked like pancakes! Amazing…perfect for a little frog or chipmunk to climb the spiral staircase…or shroom-case!! More pictures across Canada in our Canadian Places Photo Gallery

Amherst Point Migratory Bird Sanctuary – Roots & Moss Amherst Point Migratory Bird Sanctuary – Roots & Moss : The Amherst Point Migratory Bird Sanctuary has become a favorite hiking trail. This was our second visit and there will be many more. This was taken on a side trail leading to the lake where it was so quiet we could hear the ice melt on the water. More pictures from ...

Nova Scotia – Upper Clements Wildlife Park – Moose and Dami Nova Scotia – Upper Clements Wildlife Park – Moose and Dami : This moose looked like a very smart animal. I could feel its streinght and its wisdom. He almost look as though he was posing for us and showing his musles, all proud. He also seemed a little lonesome and bored so our company was mostly welcome. More pictures from ...

Floridays Resort, Orlando Florida 4.5/5 When planning for our last trip to Walt Disney World, I had first booked at the Blue Tree Resort but then after reading reviews online I switched to Floridays and it was the best decision! I had phoned the Blue Tree Resort with a few questions and wasn’t impressed with the quality of service I received but when I phoned ...

We decided to start this website to help document our camping trips, vacations and holidays. We find that the more we travel the more pictures we have and the more pages of diaries we fill. Each trip we take, whether it is a ...

New Animals at the Magnetic Hill Zoo One of the great things about having an annual pass to the Magnetic Hill Zoo in Moncton is that now we can go anytime the weather is nice and we have the time. It’s a perfect spot for a picnic and a walk and it usually takes us 2 hours to do a nice tour to see the creatures and ...

Via Rail Ocean Moncton to Montreal by Train I took the train from Moncton to Montreal and it was the one of the coolest trip I’ve ever taken! I had to go to Quebec for a week on some business and while I usually drive the 1000 km I decided to make other arrangements because driving that road in the middle of winter didn’t sound like the best ...

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 ...

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 ...
