Medical Insurance

August 5, 2018October 25, 2024Susan

In mid May our medical insurance provider advised us they are getting out of the long term expatriate medical insurance business, therefore cancelling our policy.  With only 3 weeks until we departed on a 15 month tour of Europe this threw us quickly into research mode to find replacement coverage.  Read more →

July 21, 2018October 25, 2024Susan
It all started at that little star below Cuba

Currently in Italy we looked back at how quickly our first 6 months has gone by, finding it hard to believe we left Grand Cayman on December 31st.  Read more →

The Story behind Dory

June 6, 2018January 29, 2025Susan
Dory at our first stop in Bonne, France.

Many years ago a friend referred to us as “tropical fish” because we lived on a Caribbean Island and our bodies had acclimatized to the heat after so many years away from Canada.  Read more →

Two Pillows and a Blender

June 5, 2018October 25, 2024Susan

 

This post was inspired by a conversation I had with my cousin in Guildford.  We were discussing our upcoming travel plans and I mentioned with excitement how I could hardly wait until we had our own little car and I could purchase some items.  Read more →

Victoria Falls, the smoke that thunders, is one of Victoria Falls, the smoke that thunders, is one of the worlds largest waterfalls but was a bit underwhelming in our opinion. From the ground the spray is so intense you can't see very much and at the closest point it's like you are in a shower, we were drenched. From the air you get a much better view of what the falls look like as the Zambezi river plummets in a single vertical drop into a fracture in the plateau. The drop varies from 260ft to 354ft. The spray typically rises over 400 meters obscuring much of the falls from view.
It was an interesting experience but not quite what we had envisioned. The views from the helicopter were the highlight.
