Heading Back To Cuba As Canadians, we have no restrictions on to travel to Cuba. We visited Cuba for 3 different beach vacations in the past. On our previous visits, we have had mixed success. But when we saw Oceania Cruises had a cruise to Cuba for the holidays, we […]
Two New Stops In Cuba We enjoyed a day trip in Havana on our holiday cruise to Cuba. The two other cruise port stops in Cuba were both overnight stays. And new places in Cuba for us too. Cruise stops in Santiago de Cuba and Cienfuegos provided us with opportunities […]
Arriving In Havana After a day visit to Key West, our Oceania Cruises cruise ship headed to Cuba for the Christmas holidays. The sun came up as we approached the port in Havana. Everything was cast in a glow. The port was right in the downtown. Onboard policies and processes […]
Heading North From Chengdu We had a great visit to Chengdu but left early in the day to visit the panda bears. After lunch, we were taken to the train station for a 3 hour high speed train trip to Xian. We arrived late in the day to see what […]
Food and Drink Were Plentiful in 2018 We were away for about 6 months of the year in 2018. So it is fair to say that we ate out – a lot – in 2018! And we had lots of opportunities to try different food experiences. Luxury travel experiences brought […]

Heading To The Mountains We hated to leave our great spot at the Ritz-Carlton Financial Street Beijing. But on our visit to Beijing, we did not want to miss a chance to walk the Great Wall of China at Badaling! It was yet one more of the iconic Chinese sites […]
An Amazing Discovery On our month long visit to China, we checked off so many travel wish list items. On this stop to stay in Xian, we got one more. It was so amazing to see the Terra Cotta Warriors in Xian China. The Terra Cotta Warriors are a massive […]
A Long Transit Day It was a very short stop in Chongqing. Made even shorter when we were out of the hotel again at 7:30am. The very early morning starts must have been hell on those who were not morning people. But there was a great advantage to early starts […]
A Step Back In Time We had the most interesting stop on our travel day from our short stop in Chongqing to our visit to Chengdu. On this day we saw yet one more of the amazing ancient sites we found on our visit to China. We had the chance […]
A Special Treat We looked forward to seeing panda bears since we booked our month long visit to China. At several stops along the trip we were teased with photos and souvenirs of panda bears. When we enjoyed our luxury stay at the St Regis Chengdu, we even got a […]
