Approaching Spring
I can’t believe it is already the beginning of March and Spring is fast approaching. Through most of January the garden was blanketed in snow so there was very little to report. In February, my husband and I managed to escape to the Cook Islands again and welcomed the warm weather despite a number of […]
Rarotonga, Cook Islands
Rarotonga Cook Islands My husband and I were very fortunate to spend the last three weeks on the island of Rarotonga in the Cook Islands. From high volcanic peaks to calm turquoise waters it is an island paradise. If you are looking for the ultimate relaxing get away, this was certainly the place to […]
Sunshine Coast
An unexpected trip to the Sunshine Coast and Beyond. My husband and I decided to do a last minute trip to the Sunshine Coast and then onto Vancouver Island (separate post). We normally do not travel in the height of the Summer, however we were able to book some airbnb’s at the last minute. […]

My posts have been very limited over the past few weeks as my husband and I escaped on a warm trip to the Panama canal via Norwegian Cruise line. Another tick on our bucket list.

I have so many memorable moments starting with the beautiful islands and beaches, the intricate designs of the temples and golden buddhas to the Thai people themselves (a very […]
Road Trip
Views of Skimikin Lake and surrounding foothills. Fall is a great time to go camping so my husband and I are on a road trip and once again I find myself initially at Skimikin Lake. The scene looks very different from when we were last here in May. The temperatures are obviously a lot cooler and […]
Salt Spring Island MG Tour
Cherry Blossoms Galore! I am writing my post today overlooking St. Mary’s Lake on Salt Spring Island. When my husband first asked me to join him on an MG tour of the island I was a little hesitant. After consideration though I thought it would be a great opportunity to not only see Salt […]
