British Columbia Tour, Part two

Thursday, August 21, 2008

I forgot to post the rest of our photos from our trip to Canada, so if anyone is interested, here they are.

After we left Jasper, we took the Skeena train (two days) through Prince George and stayed overnight there, (Hi uncle Lloyd and Aunt Jackie!) then on to Prince Rupert.
There we picked up the B.C. [...]

Roadtrip, Alberta and British Columbia, 2008

Monday, July 28, 2008

Colin and I travel a lot, but usually in fits and starts. The last long, proper holiday we took was to Egypt.
This time around Colin took me, along with my parents, on a tour of western Alberta and British Columbia, his homeland.
Below is a slideshow of the images of the first half of the trip. [...]

Hiking at Weir Farm, Wilton

Monday, July 21, 2008

I went hiking at Weir farm National Historic Site recently with some friends from a hiking meetup.

The site includes old farm buildings and a huge acreage of gardens and forest.

We hiked around Weir Pond and into the woods.

it was early evening in the summer and the light was very pretty coming through the trees.

The buildings [...]

The Bluest Water

Friday, May 30, 2008

Colin and I like to travel a lot. When we were overseas, you could find us in a foreign country on any given weekend.

Our latest adventure, to the Dominican Republic, was thanks to my brother-in-law Jay and my sister Mary. This was their trip, and they asked us to come along.
Mary and I have traveled [...]

Galway on My Mind

Thursday, March 20, 2008

I was juicing an orange this morning when a memory blast of Galway hit me.
I didn’t juice any oranges, that I remember, in Galway, or any part of Ireland. I wonder what part of my brain shot me through with a violently lovely blip of those two days a year ago in Ireland.
We travelled by [...]

Get on the Bus!

Saturday, March 8, 2008

Or… Where to Find the Best Seat on Earth
I really dug Eric Nuzum’s theory on crazy people riding the bus on a new favorite blog, The Prince of Petworth.
My pal Cathy lives in this area of Washington D.C. and introduced me to this fab blog about a, at best, up and coming, and at worst, [...]

On the Road Again…

Saturday, December 22, 2007

Or, Christmas… Elsewhere
There are two kinds of traveling: have to and will to.
Have to Travel
Work
Family
Death
Holiday
Will To
See
Experience
Chill
Activate
Interact
Note the difference in the etymology of the two?
First is static, nominative. The second is active, verbal, a way to BE in the world.
We’re traveling at the holidays, like so many people do: Family, Work, Holiday (hopefully no Death). I [...]

Postcard from Kansas

Thursday, October 25, 2007

If you’re wondering where people go when they don’t update their blogs for a few days, it might be Kansas.
It might be to visit old friends. To stop and sit on a sofa, holding a fussy baby and wonder “Is this what is meant by vacation?” It might be that time you spend, stopping in [...]

Under My Feet

Thursday, August 3, 2006

One thing that you lose, when you live a life with a car, is your connection with your feet.
I miss my Mazda Protégé. I miss it a lot. I don’t love my life in London, and in lots of ways I can’t wait to be able to just hop in a car again—preferably a zippy [...]

Tower after Hours

Friday, July 21, 2006

Well. If you make friends with a yeoman warder, then, eventually, you’re going to have drinks with a yeoman warder. It’s bound to happen.
The best place to do that, I guess, is the Tower of London.
After we hooked up with Robin at the Pink Martini concert, he invited us to come down the following Saturday [...]

Tales of May 06: Tampa-rriffiic!

Friday, June 2, 2006

It wasn’t a “vacation.” It wasn’t a “holiday,” as they call it over here.
It was an epic event of travel.
With that in mind, I’ve decided to break up the Tales of May 06 into bits, for easier consumption.
It all began, really, existentially, at the House of Meats. La Casa de la Carne.
Timeline-wise, Tampa, and the [...]
