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 ...

Walt Disney World Rides – Animal Kingdom I was at the Walt Disney World Parks for only 3 days. I didn’t have enough time to visit all of the parks, but I went to Animal Kingdom, Epcot Center and Hollywood Studios. I saw Magic Kingdom 22 years ago and all I can remember is the Carousel of Time. Here is an interactive map of Animal Kingdom, thanks ...

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, ...

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 ...

Burlington Bike Path > The Island Line After a wet and rainy June and July it was nice when August finally gave us a hot and sunny Saturday so we could take a trip down to Burlington, Vermont to do the Burlington -South Hero section of the Island Line Trail. With the bikes strapped to the Vibe we left Bromont just after lunch and stopped for a ...

Nova Scotia – Kejimkujik Seaside – Caution Nova Scotia – Kejimkujik Seaside – Caution : There are several of these all along the trail to remind us about the dangers of the strong currents. And the dots at the end of the waves are the rocks you see. We even saw huge rocks thrown into the trees and stuck between branches. It looks like it can get ...

The Princess went to the Castle! The clock started to tick and I realized it was time to visit the caves so I went to the closest ones to Prague: Koneprusy. I ordered the chauffeur fot 11:00 am I told him we might go to Karlstejn after the caves which he seemed to agree but wasn’t too pleased. The ride to the caves was very nice and ...

Walt Disney World and Universal Studios Orlando Extravaganza (2016 Holiday Season) I am not sure how many times Mama D and I have been to Walt Disney World together; my guess would be at least 5 times because I remember having been to Port Orleans Riverside twice (Magnolia Bend Mansion and Acadian House), once in a Boardwalk Studio, once staying at an Airbnb Condo for a month in Kissimmee, and staying ...

Sackville Wildlife Park What an awesome day to spend in Sackville, New Brunswick strolling along the boardwalk that circles the waterfowl park.

It was so nice to see everything so green and the sunny day was perfect for DD to enjoy an ...

We spent time in Waikiki but wanted to explore the oldest Hawaiian Island which is Kauai and the island named Hawaii which is the biggest island of the island group which is often aptly referred to ...

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 ...

Vacation Spoiler: The Bachelor Canada Filming in The Dominican Republic We had prepared for almost everything for our vacation to the Dominican Republic to make sure we had repellent for mosquitoes, anti-nausea pills and anti-diarrhea pills, health insurance in case of a Tsunami, and sunblock for the high UV levels so we figured there was nothing that could dampen our week stay at an all-inclusive resort in the Dominican Republic ...

Fundy Geological Museum If you plan to visit Joggins Fossil Cliffs, The Fundy Geological Museum can be a great complement to your visit although is fine on its own. More focused on dinosaurs and a little more kids oriented but still interesting for adults too. We really enjoyed watching the video presentation of the specialists. You have to phone and reserve if you ...
