My First trip to Cuba at The Pullman Resort in Cayo CocoMy First trip to Cuba at The Pullman Resort in Cayo Coco

I visited Cuba for the first time last month by myself; Let me tell you all about it! When we booked the trip in mid November, it wasn’t a discounted fare but December was a lot cheaper than January or February for an all-inclusive trip. Dami booked the trip for me with Sunwing as he had been to Cuba before with ...

Backyard Haskap PieBackyard Haskap Pie

We finally finished the haskap harvest from the 4 haskap plants we planted in the backyard and ended up with about 4 cups of the berries! It’s been about 4 years since we planted them in the backyard beside the compost bin and they have been doing better and better, giving more fruit every year, and this was one of ...

Finding My Biological Father: Money, Science and Determination with a Bit of LuckFinding My Biological Father: Money, Science and Determination with a Bit of Luck

On my birth certificate my father’s name is “Unknown”. When I was a child I felt so different from all the other children. I was the only one I knew in school who didn’t know her father and who was raised by a single mother. As I grew up I met more people who were raised by single moms but ...

Hollow NotesHollow 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 2018Ottawa 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 ...


Montreal Museums November 15-25, 2017Montreal 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 ...

Mersey River Chalet RetreatMersey River Chalet Retreat

We finally went for our much awaited retreat last week in Nova Scotia at Mersey River Chalets. It always feels like home, without the responsibilities a private chalet would imply; no taxes to pay, no cleaning, and no worries for vandalism or storm damage when we’re gone, it’s all taken care of. We left at 12:30 and after Truro, instead of ...

July 2016 Nova Scotia Tour (11 nights) Part 2July 2016 Nova Scotia Tour (11 nights) Part 2

After postponing writing this second part many times it’s about time we post it. We’re so thankful for taking notes! A pictures paints a thousand words but still, there are some details we wouldn’t have remembered without notes. This article is about the second part of an 11 night trip to Nova Scotia we made this past summer. We toured ...

Arctic Foxes at Two Rivers Wildlife ParkArctic 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.

A day in PEI with The Greater Moncton Dahlia ClubA 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 ...

Bermuda Aquarium and Zoo: A Very Special Place for UsBermuda Aquarium and Zoo: A Very Special Place for Us

Located in Flatts, in Smiths Parish, the Bermuda Aquarium and Zoo was walking distance from our vacation rental. It is a very small place but rich in experience. Even though parts of the aquarium were closed due to damage caused by hurricanes Fay and Gonzalo, we still enjoyed ourselves and even went for a second visit. On our first visit, we ...

Fredericton to Kouchibouguac – Goodbye Summer!Fredericton to Kouchibouguac - Goodbye Summer!

The last weekend of September was looking like the weather would be perfect for doing something special so we decided to drive to Fredericton to see the fall colors and to explore a bit more of the city we have not really taken the time to visit while we’ve been in New Brunswick. The City of Fredericton offers guided tours of ...

A Czech Wedding in Kostelec Nad Cernymi LesyA Czech Wedding in Kostelec Nad Cernymi Lesy

After a decent night of sleep according to Czech standards (6.5 hours), I woke up to a grey cold morning in my fresh white and orange IKEA decorated room. I wrote some postcards thinking I would post them right away but on Saturday, the Post Office is only open from 8-10 and when I got there, the line up was ...

On my way to SaguenayOn my way to Saguenay

It’s awesome to be able to discover a new place and see new things and when my friend told me he had rented an apartment for the summer in Chicoutimi, Quebec to spend his summer vacation I was happy to suggest I come for a visit. I have heard about the Saguenay region of Quebec many times; recently because our ...

Amherst, Nova ScotiaAmherst, Nova Scotia

It had been a long time since I had wanted to go visit Amherst, a small Nova Scotia town rich in history. The Cumberland County museum & Archive is worth a visit for anyone interested in the past.     We enjoyed the displays and our very knowledgeable guide, a student in Criminology. There was a display, about the extinct Mi’kmaw, with this ...

Swimming With Dolphins in Cayo Guillermo, CubaSwimming With Dolphins in Cayo Guillermo, Cuba

One of the highlights of my trip to Cuba was the swim with the dolphins at the Delfinario Cayo Guillermo. A little train picked us up from the Resort in Cayo Guillermo and drove us the short drive to the dolphinarium which is located in a natural mangrove area and has a visitors area and café as well as a ...

Kejimkujik National Park – Winter Bike Trail in Snowshoes – Dami : We love the bike trail in the summer so we figured we would love in in the winter with our snowshoes as well and we did! We parked our Vibe on the road, and headed to Meadow Beach. The trail would have been hard to figure out but ...
