Let's Go Blue Jays!

By


It’s become a bit of a spring tradition for us. As soon as the Toronto Blue Jays drop the Lead-Off Pack, we’re in. No hesitation. This year marked our fourth straight season scooping it up—and honestly, it just wouldn’t feel like the start of baseball season without it.

The Toronto Blue Jays offer this special before the season opens as a way to get fans into the stadium. The Lead-Off Pack gives you tickets to every home game in April and May (that's 29 games). It’s very affordable and the best way to dive headfirst into the season. The only draw-back is that the seats are assigned and always in the upper level.  Still, at what works out to be about $6 a ticket, it's a deal we couldn't miss.

The Rogers Centre


The Rogers Centre has a vibe that’s hard to beat. Right in the middle of downtown Toronto, with the CN Tower looming above, it’s one of those places that feels big and exciting every time you walk in.

Inside, it’s a mix of classic ballpark charm and modern stadium energy.  When the weather’s nice and the roof is open, it’s hard to beat the view — looking up to see the city skyline lit up, with the CN Tower shining above. 


We’ve seen Opening Day buzz, extra-innings drama, rookie debuts, and plenty of heartbreaker losses too (because hey, it’s baseball). But win or lose, walking into that stadium never stops being exciting. With the season just getting started, there’s a lot more baseball to come — and we’re ready for plenty of evenings in downtown Toronto, cheering on Canada’s only major league baseball team!

Do you have a baseballl team you follow and cheer on? Let me know in the comments.

    I used to watch baseball on TV all the time and an ardent fan of the Blue Jays. That was back in the days of Joe Carter, Roy Halladay, Carlos Dalgado....Toronto does not hold good memories for me. I stayed with a friend there who had mental health issues. I haven't forgotten and still have the shudders remembering after all these years.

      Those were good times for the Blue Jays.
      Sorry to hear that Toronto holds difficult memories for you. It sounds like it was quite traumatic.

    No, I'm not really into sports. But it sounds like fun to go in person and root for your team. I'm glad you got such a good deal on tickets!

A Day in Cannes

Before our stop in Cannes, all I knew about the city was that it hosts a fabulous film festival every summer and serves as a playground for the rich and famous. To be honest, after spending a day there, I still don’t know much more than that.   I think that one needs more than a day in Cannes to really discover the city and surrounding area.

 Palma de Mallorca is known for it's beautiful beaches, stunning coastline, and historical landmarks. As we were only there for the day, we focused our attention on the Old Town.

Cathedral of Palma de Mallorca We started our day at the Cathedral of Palma,   also known as the Cathedral de Santa Maria de Palma or La Seu. This massive gothic cathedral dominates the skyline and is one of Spain's largest cathedrals.

Guadalest, Spain

 We had a stop in Alicante, Spain.  It was our first time there, but we decided not to explore the city.  Instead, we ventured out on an excursion to the beautiful village of Guadalest. Guadalest is known for its stunning views and historic significance.  Originally founded by the Moors as a fortified settlement, its strategic location on a mountain made it an ideal defensive stronghold. It was part of the Islamic Kingdom of Valencia as far back at 750AD.  After the Christian conquest in the 13th century, the village became part of the Kingdom of Valencia. The village has maintained it's medieval charm, with it's narrow alleys, old stone buildings, cobbled streets, and the iconic castle. Guadalest Castle Guadalest Castle is an 11th century fortress and castle that was built by the Moors.  After being damaged by an earthquake, the war of the Spanish Succession, and a mine explosion, all that remains is a restored tower.   Despite not being well-pre...
