Prince Edward Island | Prince Edward Island, Canada
Our real destination on this recent Canada trip was Prince Edward Island, a place that had always seemed so far away from home. Yet, we had family that had come from there, so we’d always wanted to see this“ gentle isle.” Well, it was very far away. I didn’t add up the miles, but what I Read More…
Unsung Province | New Brunswick, Canada
Who ever goes to the Canadian province of New Brunswick? Who even knows where it is? Yes, I know, somewhere around Nova Scotia. Or Maine?

Arriving after a trek across the entire continent was an excellent reminder of how isolated this cosmopolitan city is from eastern Read More…
Jasper National Park | Jasper, Alberta, Canada
Our awesome train ride across Canada halted temporarily at Jasper National Park, where we alighted the train for three days at Jasper Park Lodge. We arrived at this renowned Canadian Pacific Hotel in the mid-afternoon. Spread out around and between two glacial lakes are many log cabins of various Read More…
