The Epic Road Trip

August 13, 2014 by Kath 16 Comments

Destination: Kelowna

August 29, 2013 by Kath 2 Comments

When I was in my twenties, my mom inexplicably developed a desire to change careers: "I think I could've been a truck driver," she'd say, happily ensconced behind the wheel, chauffering the family on a long drive to wherever. I never understood her strange love of the long-haul, always preferring … [Read more...]

4091 Kilometres later

August 14, 2013 by Ryan 1 Comment

I tried to update a few more blogs whilst away in Cape Breton but I had terrible internet connection. I guess that’s the whole point of a vacation right? Unfortunately, I'm not wired that way. If you were in Cape Breton last week, I was that guy trying to find a wi-fi connection on a raft in the … [Read more...]

Tween/Teens and Travel: How to Maintain Your Sanity & Have Fun

April 3, 2013 by Jen

I'll reveal my secret to tween/teen travel a little later but, in the meantime, let me say that, I hate groundhogs. Well, at least the one that said we were having an early spring. Seriously, just yesterday I was looking out my window and there was a blizzard out there! This March Break was colder … [Read more...]

Role Reversal

September 24, 2012 by Heather GD

I love my husband.He is a good man and an amazing father and if I had to do it all over again I'd choose him in an instant. One of the things I love most? Traveling with him fits me like a glove.

The Top 5 Reasons Why You Should Road Trip

July 29, 2012 by Jen

Last week I spent my time on the road. I have always loved the excitement of a road trip with the potential for something new around every corner. That was especially true on this trip because I was hitting part of the East Coast of the U.S. that I had never been to. I had lived in Boston for awhile … [Read more...]

In Praise of Spontaneous Getaways (and a not-so-fun mudslide this time)

July 22, 2012 by Kath

Ever since we got stranded in Monterey, CA overnight due to a rogue mudslide caused by heavy rains that closed the Pacific Coast Highway before we could reach Los Angeles, I've wanted to take my girls back to the beach. I called that trip "A Delightful Detour", and it truly was one of the brightest … [Read more...]
