I don’t have much time for this post, but I wanted to post something from my trip to the Bahamas. I just got back from a Blackbeard’s scuba cruise–a week of living on a sail boat, diving and cruising around the Bahamas. In short, it was amazing–an experience of a lifetime. We were lucky enough [...]

I’ve finally got our pictures up from this summer. I didn’t include them all, but there is a good chunk. Here are a few examples. To view them all, click HERE or visit the Gallery.

While in Whistler, Rita and I decided to carry over a traditional East Coast past-time we learned from my grandmother in Nova Scotia–moose “hunting”. While visiting Cape Breton Island last summer, Rita, my grandma, and I would head out around dusk and drive along the highway in search of moose that were out looking for [...]

We just got back from Whistler, and I have to say, it is a must-see for anyone who enjoys a great scenery, tons of outdoor activities, great shops, and active wildlife. While in Whistler, we decided that bungee jumping would be one of our activities. I put together a short video of the experience, which [...]

Stanley Park is one of Vancouver’s most popular attractions. Bordering Vancouver city, this urban park is the largest of its kind in Canada and the third largest in North America with 1,000 acres of land! The busy downtown area abruptly turns into a beautiful mixture of forest, paths, and gardens. Much of the park’s popularity [...]

Rita and I went to Kitsilano beach on Canada Day to watch the fireworks. As it turns out, the fireworks were too far away to take pictures of but the sunset was great! As we were watching the sun go down, a couple of guys started doing acrobatics infront of us, which made for some [...]

Here are some pictures from our trip to the Capilano suspension bridge:
“Vancouver’s oldest tourist attraction, originally built in 1889, stretches 450 feet (137m) across and 230 feet (70m) above Capilano River. Since then much has been added to the twenty-seven acre park. Of the many things to do, Treetops Adventure is the park’s newest attraction [...]

With the many expenses of our trip this summer, Rita and I are trying our best to spend our money wisely. When it comes to food, this expense can make or break the bank. You can either spend hundreds of dollars on fast-food and restaurants, or you can budget your money at the grocery store [...]

To make a little extra cash while in BC, I am helping a friend do some roofing over the summer. This week (from Monday-Thursday) was my first time out and, boy, am I glad it is finished! It’s not that I didn’t enjoy the experience, i did, but it really takes a toll on your [...]

It has been one week since Rita and I have moved in to our basement-apartment that we’ll be staying in for the next two months while here in B.C. We’re living in New Westminster, which is about 30 minutes outside of Vancouver. I knew some of you would want to see what the place looks [...]

I generally like things to be interesting, but now that it is our third day camping in the Burnaby rain without finding a place to live, I think I’m ready for something nice to come our way.
We arrived to B.C. on Wednesday afternoon around 14:30PST after a 3-day car trip that took us through the [...]

I’m writing this quick note from our hotel room in Rockford, Illinois (just West of Chicago) before I head to bed for another day of driving. We are now 8 hours into our trip to B.C. and things have gone quite smoothly so far. Anyway, more updates will come later–I’m exhausted.
