Left Regina Nov. 6th , headed to Calgary and then flew to Cancun on the 9th. Loved the balmy weather that greeted us at the airport. We had expected the beach to be torn up from hurricane IDA but no evidence of it anywhere. AHhhh !! two weeks to just relax and enjoy the sun !!!... read more

It's time to prepare for the LO-O-O-O-NG TREK homeward. After arriving back in Bangkok from Delhi we rested for 3 days before the long flight back to Canada. We were so fortunate to get the best flight possible .... ONLY 21 HOURS in the air .... and then REGINA. I was dreading it and yet in one way really looking forward to getting a little more settled in our own bed at night. After two days in Regina we were ready to GO AGAIN ......... it was soooo cold we could hardly move. Off to calgary and then on to California where we had a cruise booked for the Mexican Riviera ..... AHHHH ..... warm air again !!! Just in time for my 67th B'day on Feb.28th. Ya gotta LUV IT !!! ... read more

Well, Happy New Year ..... Ya, ya, I know ... where have I been?? Well I found this just takes up too much time. I'll post some pictures but this journal stuff is just too time consuming :-( How blesseed can 2 people be ..... to have their kids and grandkidlets join them in Thailand for the beginning of a new year. Never a dull moment as we explored the floating markets, the night market, the malls, the wats, the restaurants , the back alleys and the Klongs of Bangkok and the surrounding area. ... read more

After 4 days in Bangkok ( mostly getting MY body “time-atized” to Thai time … not as easy this time as it has been in the past :-( ) we taxied to the beaches of Jomtien to check into the Grand Jomtien Palace Hotel….. the new Chalet Wing. The day after arriving in Jomtien we were treated to the experience of the Loy Krathong Festival. It is one of Thailand’s best preserved traditions offering tourists a unique cultural experience, and should not be missed if you’re lucky enough to be in Thailand during this time. The streets were filled with families all along the beach celebrating the “Festival of Lights”. This festival occurs on the full moon of the 12th lunar month, this year it was Nov.12th. All over Thailand, rivers and waterways are set aglow ... read more

Ya, ya , I know ……. by the look of this blog it appears like we “summered over” in Palm Springs area and never got back to Regina in the Spring. Well, we did!! Got back to Regina that is!!! Just NO TIME to blog!!! We arrived back at home at the end of April, in time for the income tax “due date”, and spent the summer with Tasha, Dave and the kidlets with us in Regina from India. We had a GREAT summer and now it’s time to take to the “road “again, or should I say “sky” (this year it’s “sky”…. at least on this leg of our winter journey ).... read more
