A Road to Nowhere (in particular)
We were sitting on a park bench late this afternoon, enjoying the cool breeze and a panoramic view of Lisbon when Jan said “we should have done something more today”. My response … “why”? What did I mean? Let’s start … Continue reading
Time Out
It was a simple plan. Start the day at the coffee shop with the best view in Lisbon, have lunch at Time Out, and finish with a sunset cruise. We had an early start (for us) and walked down (and … Continue reading

Okanagan – Day 3
Another day in wine country, and another round of wine tastings. It’s a rough job, but someone has to do it…. We started at Stags Hollow with a lovely tasting. In addition to tasty wines, it has lovely views. Then … Continue reading
B.C. Wine Country
We had beautiful weather in Vancouver and then drove up to the Okanagan on Monday, where we were treated to snow squalls on Tuesday. We spent the afternoon visiting relatives we hadn’t seen in years, laughing, catching up, and having … Continue reading
Rain, Rain, Go Away
For the past few days, every time I put a location into Google maps, I’d get this warning… And if you are unfortunate, you’ll get this warning… This example was for a trip from Gisborne to Napier – the one … Continue reading
