Good Grief Deer Lake Newfoundland
We managed to go around the world with 20 different flights and not have one incident, except for our first flight with Air Canada. Our suitcases didn’t make our connecting flight with United in Chicago. Deer Lake Newfoundland Air Canada took off on Thursday to visit Les Iles de la Madeleine knowing that for the…
Take a free ferry to Brooklyn
Unless you’re a New Yorker who’s really into IKEA, you probably don’t know about this great free ferry travel tour. Visit IKEA Brooklyn on a free ferry on Weekends We discovered this purely by accident. We walked around and ended up on Pier 11, where all the fairies leave to head over to various parts…
Are Hop-On Hop-Off Buses Worth It?
This post is certainly not for the slow traveller who has time to explore a city. This is meant for tourists in a city for a few days. What is the best way to see the sights? Are the Hop-On Hop-Off Buses a good value? I have taken Hop-On Hop-Off Buses buses a number of…

I did some research on the Internet to try to find a massage place nearby that had good ratings. There are massage parlours literally on every block. I located one that was a…
Day 42 – In The Air Again
I’m getting a little behind on this, but I’ve spent the last few days relaxing. Louise says the trip is 80% great and 20% a pain in the butt. That 20% is travelling. The New Zealand leg of the journey turned out to be even better than we could’ve imagined—special thanks to Ange and Deb…
Day 32 – The Golden Circle Tour of O’ahu
Renting a car in Honolulu is costly; parking alone is $35 a night at the hotel. Others told us we didn’t have a car, as buses could go all around the island. No one told us it would be hours and hours going around the island. I convinced Louise to take the Golden Circle Tour…
Day 24 – Farewell San Francisco and the Mission District
The only thing we hadn’t done that was still on Louise‘s list was visiting the mission district. Packed and ready to check out our hotel, we still had three hours to spend in San Francisco before picking up our taxi to the airport. Mission District is relatively spread out. I found the Women’s Building we…
