Entertaining yourself in Ottawa, Canada
I’m continuing with my blog series where I recap past travels, particularly places within Canada, since I’m trying to focus more on domestic travel for the foreseeable future. Today’s edition is about the city of Ottawa, Ontario, where I lived for two years between moving away from Vancouver, British Columbia and then eventually returning to…

Missed connections: Iceland, Scotland, & England
Like many other travel lovers, the events of the last few months have put a real damper on my plans. Andy from Andy’s World Journeys just wrote a post about where he was supposed to be right now, and it got me thinking about how I was supposed to be travelling now too. As I’ve…

Photographic memories of Grenada
While browsing travel Twitter, I came across the blog of Giselle in Motion, who has been posting about the highlights of Grenada. This inspired me to look back at the photos from my trip to this Caribbean island back in 2015. Boy, have smart phone cameras improved over the past five years! Excluding a couple…

#Alphabet Adventures: Travel memories from A to Z
I’m bored. The province of Ontario is finally looking at a gradual re-opening of the economy, but the process is going to be a slow one.

Rethinking travel plans for 2020
In the post I wrote a few months back outlining some destinations that I am hoping to revisit in the future, I mentioned that Mr. Chuckles and I were planning a trip to London, England this year. This would cap off a tour through Iceland and Scotland, sometime in early to mid-May. Obviously, the world…

Margherita pizza on the grill
We recently splurged on a fancy ceramic grill from Kamado Joe, which is a basically like the Big Green Egg but in red. Even though we are still in the last throes of winter weather with snow flurries this week, we have gone ahead and started barbeque season early. One of the recipes we were…

Travelling the McWorld
Last month, I suggested to Mr. Chuckles that he consider starting a blog entitled ‘Travelling the McWorld’ in order to document his habit of eating at McDonald’s in every international destination we visit. He scoffed at the idea of joining the blogging world, so I’ve decided to write this post in his stead. In doing…

Hotel roundup: Where we stayed in Cambodia & Vietnam
I suppose that few people are planning trips to Asia lately, but one day this whole virus craze will simmer down, and someone out there may find this post useful. I did a great deal of preparation for our recent self-guided trip through Cambodia and Vietnam, including research on the best hotels in several cities…
