When I went to Asia, as with any trip to a foreign country, I had to bring back lots of little gifts for friends and family members. One that stands out in my mind is a Nike pocket watch I got for my brother. He can’t wear a regular wrist watch because he [...]

We’re trying to plan a summer vacation but there’s still a lot of undecided factors to figure out, whether to drive or fly being one of the main ones. Most likely we’ll just tour around the province a bit, spend a few days in Halifax and maybe head up to Truro to visit some [...]

Our last real vacation was 5 years ago now when we took a trip down to the states in March of ‘03. The sad thing is that I don’t even remember a lot of what we did. It wasn’t exactly the greatest time of year to travel though, but being the slow period [...]

Just learned today that IZEAfest will be from September 11th to the 14th in Orlando, Florida. We were hoping that it would be a little earlier though because since Chloe will be starting school in Sept. there’s no way we’ll be able to take a week off for traveling. IZEAfest is the new [...]

We’ve been pretty faithful to the Econo Lodge Comfort Inn in Bedford whenever we go up to Halifax. It’s in a good location given the places that we want to go, about 10 minutes from all 3 of our destinations. But I think next time we go up we’re going to try the [...]

Looks like it’s almost time to stock up on some travel supplies, we will probably be going up to Halifax again for a couple of days before the end of the month. Chloe is excited already, she loves staying in the hotel, only problem is that she stays up later than usual because she [...]

Whenever we go up to Halifax we stay at the Econo Lodge. It’s only 10 minutes or so from the downtown area and now that I know where I’m going it’s only a short distance to the major malls as well. Like most smaller hotels it’s very near the train tracks though so [...]

Moving can be a very stressful thing, everything has to be planned out well in advance and it feels like it takes forever with all the packing, sorting, moving and unpacking again. I’ve never had to move more than 15 miles or so and can’t imagine what it would be like moving to a [...]
