I enjoy travel, sports, music and anything else that jumps up at me for the moment, which is why I blog. There will be lots of travel posts, pictures and our videos as well as a smattering of sports and humor. I enjoy promoting Canada and am unabashedly a proud Albertan

  • Alaska From The Ocean

      A shot I took with my iPhone in July of 2013 as we cruised past on a Celebrity cruise liner.  A different look of the mountains from what we are used to as we see them from the Alberta side daily.  Very stark contrast as they rise out of the ocean as compared to…

  • Weekly Photo Challenge: Fresh

    Nothing fresher than a glacier in Alaska. The prompt this week is Weekly Photo Challenge: Fresh.  The definition provided is “the definition for fresh has a bit of a fork in it – it’s a state (new, recent, previously unknown) and it’s a taste or sensation (cool, sweet, invigorating, refreshing). Fresh is definitely this cantaloupe (“melone”)…

  • Hello From Hubbard Glacier

    A quick photo off our ship. This is Hubbard Glacier from a half mile away. Extremely impressive.

  • Trip Summary – New Orleans and Western Caribbean

    Safely back in Calgary it is time to summarize, review, price and recommend.  First the beginning, the flight from Calgary to New Orleans. Continental Airlines We flew via Continental Airlines, with a connecting flight in Houston in both directions.  We chose Continental for a couple of main reasons.  First, they had the flights that fit…

  • Cruising to New Orleans March 26, 2011 – Sea Day

    We awoke to our last day on the Spirit.  We were all pretty tired after our hectic schedule of the past week and took advantage of the sea day.  We had nothing planned other than a wine tasting in the early afternoon.  It was time to spend some time with our friends and look back…

  • NCL Spirit – Towel Art

    One of the cool things about cruising is the towel art that the stewards create and place in your room after they are done cleaning.  the service and attitude of the staff on this ship was top of the line.  They looked after our every need and, incredibly, most remembered our names.

  • Cruising From New Orleans March 21, 2011 – At Sea (Definitely)

    I had great plans for this post, but I now know the anguish of both censorship and editorial power.  I have been shut down on what may have been the next viral hits on the net. It is unfortunate, but you got to do what you are forced to do.  Maybe I will get drunk…

  • Cruising – Happy Birthday Cheryl

    As a birthday present to my sister-in-law Cheryl, I will not be posting my planned summary of the events of Day 2 at sea, the Pub Crawl today.  Regular programming will continue tomorrow, unless that $100 makes it here, in which case I would have to deprive the world of this post. Happy Birthday Cheryl

  • Cruising From New Orleans March 20, 2011 – At Sea (Kind of)

    I am thinking I should have named this what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, but this ain’t Vegas.  We are cruising into international waters on the NCL Spirit.  We departed at 5:00, but first we had to meet up with Gord and Cheryl, who arrived in New Orleans at midnight on the 19th.  We…
