Sydney, Australia

December 12, 2023November 6, 2024Susan

Sydney, Australia was the culmination of our 31 day cruise crossing the Pacific, all the way from Vancouver, Canada.  It was fun to get up and see the city lights and the familiar outline of the magnificent Sydney Opera House as we cruised into port at 5:30am.  Well…it turns out that it was 4:30am because I forgot to turn my clock back the night before 🤔 Read more →

Cruising for 31 days

November 8, 2023November 6, 2024Susan

Cruising is not a regular way of travel for us, in fact this is only our second cruise and our first one was also a one way journey.  That first cruise in late 2018 was 15 days long and took us from Rome, Italy to Abu Dhabi, UAE Read more →

Calgary, blink and you’ll miss us.

November 4, 2023November 6, 2024Susan

After Paris we stopped in Calgary for a very quick visit, in fact we were here less than a month.  It was such a busy few weeks consumed with follow-up testing for me, doctors visits and dental visits for both of us Read more →

What can I say about Paris 💕  It’s one of my favorite cities in the world and we have been here a few times.  This particular visit was to celebrate my 65th birthday…one year late but very happy to be here.  Read more →

Reflections of Ireland

Glanmore Lake, Beara Peninsula, County Kerry

We spent 2 1/2 months in Ireland circumnavigating the entire island and doing our best to see as much as we could, yet not run ourselves ragged.  Some of our locations had a lot to see and others were very quiet rural locations Read more →

Ardcath and Dublin, Ireland

Voyager statue in Laytown, County Meath

In between our weekend in Belfast and two nights in Dublin we spent a week in the countryside near Ardcath.  There was not much to see around Ardcath, plus we felt the need for a break from touring castles, churches and ruins, so we had a very laid back and quiet week.  Read more →

A weekend in Belfast, Northern Ireland

September 8, 2023October 25, 2024Susan
The Lagan River in Belfast

Leaving the farm loft in County Antrim we enjoyed a city break in Belfast (Béal Feirste), the capital and largest city in Northern Ireland.  The drive from Ballycastle to Belfast is less than an hour and we had time to spare before checking into our apartment so we took a scenic route enjoying the countryside.  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.
