Leaving Cesky Krumlov We had a great visit in the old medieval town of Cesky Krumlov. It was a very different side of the Czech Republic than we saw when we visited Prague. Our final perspective came on a stay in Slavonice in Southern Bohemia. We saw more of the […]
Another View Of Budapest We had 5 days in Budapest. During the day we walked a lot and got to see the city. But we do love to see a city from a different perspective. Sometimes we choose to go high for a panoramic view. Our first stop when we […]
Heading Away To Asia In The Fall We arrived back in Toronto after our spring trip to Central Europe. It felt like a long summer. I took a contract gig for most of the summer and struggled to keep up on blogging and social media. Travel planning took priority. But […]
Memories Of Childhood There are so many great summer festivals in Toronto. One of my favourite childhood memories was of going to the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) with my family. The CNE runs for several weeks at the end of August and wraps up on the Labour Day weekend with […]
A Great Reason To Visit The Toronto CNE We love to see colourful Chinese lanterns. So when we found out there were Chinese lanterns at the Toronto CNE, we knew we had to visit. It is just one of the fun things to do at the CNE. The Canadian National […]

Heading To Philadelphia For The 4th Of July Celebrations Over the past year, we have enjoyed our short visits to U.S. cities. Chicago was an architectural delight. New York for the holiday season got us ready for Christmas. And Washington for cherry blossoms brought us spring cheer when Toronto was […]
We Had A Great Spot To Enjoy The July 4th Celebrations We looked for options to enjoy the July 4th holiday in the U.S. Last year we enjoyed the holiday in Seattle before our Alaska cruise. Boston and Philadelphia were both on the short list for a July 4th visit. […]
A Detour On The Way To Philadelphia We headed to Philadelphia for the July 4th holiday. But we stopped the first night by the lake in Geneva. Not Switzerland but upper New York state. We had time for a lazy drive south so we looked at the options for something […]
