Our Travel Adventures
Can't believe it's taken me this long to visit California. From Toronto our flight took five hours and the San Diego airport is only a few minutes drive to where we're staying. Krista is here for a conference so I came too because I hate to be away from her. https://youtu.be/rFrdHyWm5G4 We arrived Sunday and
“All of us must continue to insist that Nazis are not welcome, that we must keep the memory alive and learn from our history so that it does not happen again.” – Hendrik Czeczatka Thomasius Street is a quick walk from where we stayed in Berlin last week. It’s a typical Berlin residential street lined with […]
Visiting a place like this will leave you deeply affected. Seeing the things I've only read about or seen pictures of left an impression that will last for the rest of my life. Auschwitz-Birkenau is the worst place on earth. It always will be. Our original plan was to visit Berlin and see Lady Gaga
Deciding to Go Iceland is one off the top tourist destinations of 2017 and it was an easy pick for us once we decided to plan an international trip. I know people who’ve been there and lots of people who want to go. This year an estimated 2.2 million people will vacation in Iceland. That’s […]

The artifact is on display in the Icelandic National Museum in Reykjavik, Iceland. “All men are prescribed by law to provide for those who cannot feed or clothe themselves, supporting them of either their own means or […]
Inside the Hallgrímskirkja Church in Reykjavik, we lit a candle. In memory of Rehtaeh, Amanda, Arianna, Cassidy, … in supplication and silence the light burns. Do not let the darkness prevent you from seeking the light! And when you have found it, let other people see, re – think and be convinced. If you want […]
This is about as close to a religious pilgrimage as I’ll ever get. As soon as we started planning our trip to Iceland, Dettifoss was at the top of my list of places to visit. In fact, it was the only ‘must see’ place we had on our list. Getting there from the N1 took […]
Iceland has been incredible. We arrived in Reykjavik early Sunday via Icelandic Air from Toronto. Once on the ground and through customs (it took about 5 seconds to clear), we headed out to pick up the camper van we rented from Kuku Campers. The van is small but has everything we need including a heater […]
Writing from Pearson International Airport as we wait for our flight to board. We’re both very excited to be underway and have a break. It’s been rough since Ozzy died. Iceland is the destination. We rented a camper van and bought a map but have no real plan or schedule to follow once we arrive […]
