Ill make this the final blog for this trip. Tomorrow will be another at sea day, and we will be packing. We arrive in to Sydney on Thursday morning and will catch the trains home.
Seeing that we had nowhere to go today, nowhere to be, we decided to order breakfast from room service, which could have been delightful. It turned out that toast for one person was one slice of toast. Luckily I also ha Read on...
Planning a trip to Panama City was a bit like doing a jigsaw; post pandemic, most tourist attractions are only open a few days a week and putting together an itinerary which incorporated everything I wanted to do was fiddly. Then, I caught covid and we had to change all our flights. The result – our only full day for sightseeing is a Monday, when everything is closed. No matter, we will spend th Read on...
Greetings from London! It has been a while since I last wrote a Travel Blog entry, as like many of us, I havent been doing much travelling for the past year.

We left Mammoth cave park and headed East. We noticed the rocks on the side of the highway are sedimentary and very flat. I was building a big pond at my home during that time, and I would pay a fortune to buy big flat rocks like that at the garden center! Turns out that ages ago, that region was part of a sea so it makes sense.
When I was bored of the highway, I took some country roads. At some Read on...
Departed Ottawa. The airport check in process was easy. I always have to wait a little bit to actually see a person when checking my bag because they have to verify my Veteran status to receive the free bag check in.
Once that was done, it was off to the dreaded security check in. The line was long, but it moved along quite well. Theyve made some improvements since Ive last travelled. For example Read on...
I didnt plan to blog about Egypt but after being here a couple of weeks I decided to record some of the quirks of Egypt and the Jaz Fanara hotel in particular.
I had decided to spend some time in Egypt, at a hotel on the beach and close to a reef where it is easy to spend a lot of time snorkelling. The plan being not to leave the hotel, but snorkel, read and plan more trips which is why I called Read on...
Arkaroola features many unique geological monuments, rugged mountains, towering granite peaks, magnificent gorges, and mysterious waterholes, and as I write this, very sore in many parts of my body, I am well pleased in the fact that Jane and I conquered one of the towering granite peaks (347m), by slogging it up and then down one of those rugged mountains to reach the summit of Acacia Ridge. The Read on...
We arrived late Friday night in Khartoum, spending a little over an hour at the airport while our (expensive!) visas were processed. Then we met our guides, including Hamed who is an actual archaeologist. Our bus to the hotel entertained us as the interior was covered with red fabric and lots of dangling trinkets. Our hotel was located in town, up a flight of stairs and run by a Greek guy who had Read on...
