Trip, Interrupted

October 15, 2020October 15, 2020 by allison

So, remember that time I dusted off the blog, wrote three posts, then … nothing else … for a year? Right, well, uh, hi ?, how are you? How’s 2020? Though I haven’t been writing lately, I did sit down and compile our videos. Here is my best attempt at squeezing 7 wonderful months into …

Rainy Season Costa Rican Roadtrip

October 11, 2019October 11, 2019 by allison

Our kids were off school last week which gave us the opportunity to see a bit more of the country we’re calling home for 3.5 months. And, wow, what a beautiful country it is. We set off Monday morning with the intention of driving to our hotel atop the Poàs Volcano just 4 hours away. …

Yesterday I was chatting with some friends who asked me how we were doing. My answer to them ended up being a perfect jumping off point for a blog post. On balance, we are great! This is certainly not to say that everything is perfect and we don’t have any problems—we do! It’s really, really …

Tap tap tap… is this thing on? Oh, hey there, it’s been a minute! Or, more accurately, 5,401,440 minutes. And what a 5.4 million minutes they’ve been. In the last 10.5 years we: moved to and worked in Toronto, got married, (I) started a photography business and another blog, left our jobs in Toronto, spent …

Is this really the end?

May 30, 2009August 30, 2017 by jonathan

Yes‚ we’re home. And that, ladies and gentlemen, was around the world in 365 days. We wandered around the desert metropolis of Dubai and played in what could be the world’s best water park; we saw the ancient ruins of Petra, spent a night in the desert, rode camels, shared a sheesha with a rescue …

Space, the final frontier

May 27, 2009September 6, 2019 by jonathan

We spent the last week of our trip in sweet, sweet civilization with my brother and his family at their home in Orlando, Florida, USA. And yes, one of the first things I did was have a Starbucks coffee. I know, I’ve sold out to our North American culture… our delicious, coffee-driven culture, but if …

Would you like a mugging with that?

May 23, 2009August 30, 2017 by jonathan

Last time we left you we had just crossed the border into Brazil at Foz do Iguaçu to take in a second helping of the gorgeous Iguazu Falls. That night, we hopped on an overnight bus that would take us to the massive city of Sao Paulo—a semi-cama bus (think airplane-style reclining seats), with no …

Well, we are back in Canada! Can you believe that a year went by so fast? I certainly can’t. Over the next week or two we are going to have a series of posts with lots of statistics about our trip – including the $64,000 question. This post is the third of three posts about …

Good wine, good beef, good country

April 26, 2009August 30, 2017 by allison

As a preamble to this post, I’ll have you all know that I wanted to write another joint post – since the last one was so well received. When I mentioned this to Jon, he said “No problem. I love wine, I love beef, and thusly I love Argentina. End post.” And I’m pretty sure …

[A] It seems as though we have fallen behind on the blog again, Argentina has been a whirlwind of good food and good wine and somehow blogging about Bolivia fell by the wayside. No need to worry, however, we are both back to keep you entertained—just be warned that the good wine may have influenced …
