On Our Way

By

I hate the day before leaving on a trip. There’s always so much to do. (I don’t know how many times I wished I hadn’t procrastinated on things I could have done days ago!)

After a day of feeling like the headless chicken, we are finally ready.

  • Bags are packed.
  • Up at the crack of stupid (why did I book an early morning flight?)
  • dragged son #3 out of bed to drive us to the airport
  • checked in for flight
  • Tim Hortons for breakfast at the airport
  • relaxing at the gate


All in all a good start to what will be an amazing two weeks in Vancouver Island.

It is the result of centuries of migration, evolving immigration laws, shifting societal values, and a deliberate commitment to building an inclusive national identity. Here’s how Canada became a country where diversity isn’t just tolerated - it’s celebrated. A Country of Immigrants from the Beginning Before we talk about multiculturalism, it’s important to recognize that Canada is Indigenous land first and foremost . Long before European settlers arrived, First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples lived, traded, and governed on this land. When European colonization began in the 16th century, primarily with the Frenc...

Norwegian Prima - Review

By

  Photo from ncl.com We are seasoned Norwegian cruisers.  We've been on many Norwegian cruises, enough that we are now Platinum. Our preference is typically for smaller, somewhat older ships, as we enjoy port days and exploring new destinations. These smaller ships can access ports that larger, newer ships cannot.  Our review should be read with that lens.
