We are prepared for lots of different weather. A heat wave moved into Southern Ontario at the start of our trip, but judging by the forecast the weather will be cold when we get to Thunder Bay. Fortunately one of the advantages of road trips is we don’t really need to worry about packing light.Continue reading “Bruce Peninsula to Algoma”

Lake Superior trip
Pre-Covid our plan was to circumnavigate the Great Lakes. Sounds ambitious and it was, but the lakes are so important to life in this part of Canada and we have seen part of all of them but never all at once. Border shutdowns put an end to that plan, and even though the borders haveContinue reading “Lake Superior trip”
Sailing Adventure to Yelapa, Mexico
In Banderas Bay not far from Puerto Vallarta there is a small town that is only accessible by boat. Most people who make the trip seem to take a tour with Vallarta Adventures. However, as my brother and sister-in-law sailed down from Vancouver and have a berth at Paradise Village in Nuevo Vallarta, we wereContinue reading “Sailing Adventure to Yelapa, Mexico”
More food adventures in Mexico
We are really enjoying our meals here. Last night we walked down to La Isla, our favourite restaurant in Nuevo Vallarta. It is small with only 10 tables so we made a reservation, but there was no need. We were actually concerned as for a while we were the only ones there and we wantContinue reading “More food adventures in Mexico”
Food, glorious food
One of the many wonderful things about being in Mexico is the delicious food we are having, both at the condo and when we eat out. At the condo we always have sunset food as we have front row seats looking out to Banderas Bay. Guacamole and pico de gallo with fresh tortilla chips areContinue reading “Food, glorious food”
Travel to Mexico January 1, 2022
Travel in these times is certainly more stressful, even though everything went as well as can be expected. Months ago when the pandemic appeared to be in its last gasp, and we had thankfully received two doses of the Pfizer vaccine, we decided it would be wonderful to accompany my aunt and fly to MexicoContinue reading “Travel to Mexico January 1, 2022”
Springhill, Nova Scotia
I had never been down a mine but had heard about the dreadful working conditions in coal mines, particularly from a friend whose family moved away from Wales to ensure he and his brother never had to go down the mines. So when I noticed on the map that our road trip took us closeContinue reading “Springhill, Nova Scotia”
Bluenose II 100th Anniversary
How lucky to be able to see the Bluenose II on the occasion of her 100th birthday. I had watched the event online earlier this year with no expectation that I would be able to visit and go on board a few months later. It certainly was sweet to see her at dock in LunenburgContinue reading “Bluenose II 100th Anniversary”
Canadian road trip!
At long last we feel comfortable enough to head out on the road. With Nova Scotia opening up to vaccinated Canadians, we decided it was time to get in the car and visit my aunt Ruth in Liverpool. We are both fully vaccinated and wear our masks inside common areas, but still limited indoor activitiesContinue reading “Canadian road trip!”
Local War of 1812 sites
Covid has certainly changed our travel this year but it doesn’t mean we have stayed home exclusively, just that we have adjusted our plans to be more local and avoid crowds. As a result we have been enjoying our own area including well known destinations like Niagara Falls, but have also done some more generalContinue reading “Local War of 1812 sites”
