Traveling Through Canada

It’s travel season at work again and I’m traveling through 6 Canadian Provinces. I’m interested in discovering more about our neighbor to the north, but traveling in the winter has me concerned. Current temperatures are around 20 degrees Fahrenheit (wish it was Celsius). Living in Florida tends to spoil you weather-wise, especially in the winter. I’ve had to dig out all my winter hats, gloves, scarfs, sweaters and jackets.

Here’s my upcoming itinerary over the next few weeks…

  • St. John’s, Newfoundland
  • Halifax, Nova Scotia
  • Vancouver, British Columbia
  • Calgary, Alberta
  • Montreal, Quebec
  • Toronto, Ontario

Celebrating the Saints in New Orleans

IMG 0217 300x225 Celebrating the Saints in New Orleans

It just so happened that my trip to New Orleans was planned a few weeks before the Saints were headed to the Superbowl. What a wonderful moment of serendipity; Being in the same city as a Superbowl Home Team on the night of the game! And even better, they won.

This was the first time that the Saints were in (arguably), the biggest event in American Culture. And while it uncertain if they would remain victorious, the mere fact that they were playing was enough. It seemed as if the party started as soon as you woke up. All around the city people were chanting “Whodat” – the Saints cheer.

An Open Letter to All Toothpaste Companies

Dear Toothpaste Companies,

I can not understand your business. For starters, what’s the difference between all of your toothpastes? There’s fluoride, cavity protection, whitening, mint stripe, mint strips, advanced clean, antigingivitis, advanced fresh, oxygen bubbles, bright strips, minty sparkle, and enamel strength varieties. How on earth am I suppose to choose what to do with my teeth? And I haven’t even mentioned the different FLAVORS you have!

Should I sacrifice cavity protection in order to strengthen my enamel? What’s the difference between mint strips and mint stripes – besides the letter “e”? By touting a tube as advanced clean, aren’t you implying that all the other brands are not as good cleaners as the namesake? What’s a consumer to do?

Where Do I Want To Travel?

Where do you want to travel? Have you ever thought about it? I think about it all the time. And after talking about it for awhile, I’m finally pleased to share it with you… My Adventure List!

What is an adventure list you may be asking? It’s a compilation of all the places I want to go, and where I’ve been. I’ve found that if you write things down, you can check back on a regular basis and assess your progress. You can plan where you want to go next, and more importantly, save for that trip-of-a-lifetime. It’s a motivator.
