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 met in Montreal where we stayed at our now favorite hotel; Hotel Bonaventure. While ...

We kept wondering if we had forgotten anything…but as long as we have our passports and credit cards we should be fine!! The Holiday Inn in Burlington Vermont ...

A Trip To The Granby Zoo Went to the Granby Zoo today. Nothing like visiting a Zoo in January when it’s 20 below zero. The Granby Zoo has a winter program until February and since they have a few animals that can stay outside even in the cold we thought we’d drive out to enjoy the Zoo; we had gone in the summer time but since ...

A great day at Hollywood Studios We got to Hollywood Studio in Walt Disney World around 8:45 and as soon as the gates opened we scanned our Magic Bands and we raced for Toy Story which had been having long lineups so we wanted to get there early because there was no Fast Passes available today. It’s great to have a personal guide! Since DD has ...

36 Hours in Halifax, Nova Scotia Mama D and I took the Ocean Via Train to Halifax this summer. The train ride from Moncton, NB was awesome! We had a free Chalet Suisse Dinner (chicken with fries and gravy) because the train was 3 hours late and they didn’t have enough food to serve dinner in the dining car. We enjoyed our cabin and played dice, ...
