Toronto liquor store hours

Toronto liquor store hours make for a beer buying adventure

on June 20, 2013 in Adventure travel, North America

A couple of weeks ago I made my first trip to Toronto for the TBEX Conference, and to my surprise found the Toronto liquor store hours less than convenient. Some refer to Canada jokingly as a blue state due to the fact it is close geographically to the United States, small in population despite its [...]

A Quetico campfire on Lake Kawnipi

on June 17, 2013 in Adventure travel, Daily Travel Photo, North America

After a great day fishing, canoeing, or traveling in Quetico Provincial Park, the best part of the day is enjoying the campfire with the beautiful lake in the background. Campfires are such a soothing experience and bring us back to simpler times and put us in touch with our ancestors. This photo comes from a [...]

Paddling with manatees on the Crystal River

on June 16, 2013 in Adventure travel, Canoeing, Daily Travel Photo, United States

On this Father’s Day, I am featuring photos from my dad who lives part of the year in Florida. On this canoeing trip on the Crystal River, he found himself in a network of connected springs with a few other paddlers, some snorkelers, and over 200 manatees. Manatees swim into the Florida Rivers in the [...]

On a rainforest trail through the jungle of Bach Ma National Park in Vietnam. This beautiful park is less than an hour from Hué and is a little off the radar for many travelers who come to this area for the Perfume River Tour and to visit the ancient city and then move on. For [...]

The CN Tower in Toronto renamed

on June 15, 2013 in Daily Travel Photo, North America

The CN Tower in Toronto overlooks the city and Lake Ontario.  It may have been the most photographed structure in the world two weeks ago during the TBEX Conference as over 1,200 travel bloggers descended into the city. In fact, it should be at least temporarily renamed to TBEX Tower in honor of the notoriety [...]

Son Volt

A Son Volt head road trip in Arkansas

on June 12, 2013 in Adventure travel, United States

A fun way and a good excuse to travel is by following your favorite band around the country or even for a show or two in another town. One time I planned a road trip around the group Son Volt. I guess that makes me a Son Volt head. They had reformed under lead singer [...]

Toronto Flipkey House

The Toronto Flipkey house on Bleecker Street

on June 10, 2013 in Adventure travel, North America

The Toronto Flipkey house is a wonderful Victorian apartment rental in the historic district of Toronto along a quiet pretty tree-lined street. There is always debate about whether a hotel or an apartment rental is the best way to lodge during a stay away from home. If you are coming with a group of friends, [...]

Cooling off in a Thai waterfall

on June 9, 2013 in Adventure travel, Daily Travel Photo, Southeast Asia

One of the hottest days I have ever experienced was going from Suphanburi through Kanchanaburi to Lam Klong Ngu National Park near the border with Myanmar. I was being taken there by a family I had met stateside who lived in Thailand. They had a coffee and rubber tree farm right outside the national park. [...]
