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 ...

Waikiki – A Day on Oahu The birds gathered in the incredible canopy trees below our 8th story Lanai are chirping and singing for us! A nice change from the symphony of garbage trucks taking out the trash but I guess it is what to expect with the hotels plunked down here between the trees with only a slight view of the hills and maybe if ...

Destination Florida: Ultimate Road Trip There’s nothing like a three week road trip to change your outlook and when we drove to Florida for an escape from the winter in Canada we had the time of our lives! The best thing about driving instead of flying is you get a chance to see the changing scenery and as we drove South on I-95, passing through ...

A Ghost Town on a Saturday Night After the wedding reception, my ride brought me back to a poorly lit ghost town. No matter how many times anyone would tell me this is a safe town and I don’t need to worry, I just cannot help but feel a little uneasy every time I walk in the alley to my door. After chatting with Dami and Mama D, ...

It was the hub of life in the area and many prominent families and politicians have called it home. It was one of the finest Inns in Canada and we can ...

Jsem v Praze! (I am in Prague!) I can’t believe I am in Prague finally! What a crazy set of flights this was. From Moncton, NB to Toronto ON, to London, England and finally to Prague, Czech Republic. As I am writing, I am fighting the urge to lay down on the bed and sleep until forever. The British Airways flight attendants were just outstanding, especially David, ...
