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 ...

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 ...

Nova Scotia – Delaps Cove Wilderness Trail – Dami at Bay of Fundy Nova Scotia – Delaps Cove Wilderness Trail – Dami at Bay of Fundy : Wasn't it the best idea ever to buy rubber boots before the trip?

A Ghost Town on a Saturday Night After the wedding reception, my ride brought me back to a poorly lit ghost town.

After chatting with Dami and Mama D, ...

The City of Fredericton offers guided tours of ...
