… while we go crazy for camping in Canada!
Last week, we settled into our working “remotely” routine. Remote is in quotation marks because really, wherever we work it’s remote! All we need our laptops and reliable internet! We divide our days between Clara duty and work time; one person always gets to work uninterrupted while the other person gets to play with the …
On Saturday night, Clara slept like an angel. She hasn’t slept for seven hours in a row for months and months, so it was such a treat for us all! Sunday morning was a bit of a blur; I got up early to pack our bags, and Clara and J slept in a bit. We’ve …
When I left off, it was Friday morning and C was sleeping soundly in her carrier; she stayed that way for about two hours and then we ate lunch and set off for a couple of hours of wandering around before … yet another call! It’s been a busy week for business calls for us! …
Day one. The ride to the airport in Edmonton was foreboding. C cried almost the entire way. It was only just as we pulled up to the airport that she finally settled and went to sleep. We didn’t realize in the car, but baby girl was getting a doozy of a cold. The flight to …
Wow. This is it folks, the very last day of Antarctica trip recaps :'( I hope you’ve enjoyed this week, I know it’s been heavy on both the pictures and the crazy, but I hope you’ve had as much fun as me! And, don’t worry, we’re not through with Antarctica yet. For Travel Tuesday next …
We awoke on the morning of Day 6 to our first inclement weather. Who goes to Antarctica for 5 days before having inclement weather? Us, that’s who! The winds were gusting at up to 30-35 knots, which makes it very unsafe for the zodiacs to land. Unfortunately, this meant that our scheduled morning landing was …
As I mentioned yesterday, Day 5 was another highlight of the trip. The morning was a beautiful zodiac tour in Foyn Harbour. A little harbour off the Antarctic peninsula. By 10am, when our zodiac left the boat, the skies had cleared and we were in for a treat. Icebergs. Seals. Towering mountains coming directly out …
The highlights of our trip to Antarctica included, most certainly, Days 4 and 5. I’ve already told you a bit about Day 4. If you need a bit of a reminder (or if you need to fill your heart with joy), here you go: But let’s go back, and start from the beginning of the …
We’ve been back in Buenos Aires for four days, and I think I finally have the words. But before I begin, here is a shot of (very excited me) at my first “penguin” encounter! At 4:00pm on Saturday, January 28, 2012 the hubs and I arrived at the docks in Ushuaia, Argentina to being our …
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 …
