Biking Over the Myra Canyon Trestle Bridges

October 13th, 2009 · 3 Comments · Bonnie's Posts, Tripping

John and I have been talking about checking out the trestle bridges in the Myra Canyon for years but had never done it.  Our good friends and neighbours, Barry and Lorellei, who we fondly refer to as our “social directors” had never made the trip either and so when they suggested we take our bikes [...]

Spicy Seattle!

September 30th, 2009 · 5 Comments · Tracy's Posts, Tripping

I love going on road trips to Seattle, Washington for so many reasons but I have to admit it is not for the shopping.  I actually don’t enjoy shopping at the malls at all.  Seattle feels different enough from Vancouver to feel like you’re having a mini holiday, all while only being a [...]

My Vancouver ~ A Movable Fest

September 17th, 2009 · 5 Comments · Jacquie's Posts, Tripping

Hmmm.. another notice in my email today about the West Coast Chocolate Festival starting  October 16th and running until November 10th.  Sounds de-lish!  Better add that to my Yahoo calendar before I forget.   The scotch ‘n chocolate tasting event looks to be mighty educational and I do like to be a well-rounded kinda gal.   Okay, [...]

No surprise taxes or hidden ‘gotcha’ fees slipped under your door [...]

A Trip Through the Winchester Mystery House

August 3rd, 2009 · 5 Comments · Jacquie's Posts, Tripping

What is it with the Californian mornings?  Every morning I’ve woken up to  overcast, grey skies that remind me of Vancouver in October!  Yes, by 10 a.m. the clouds have burned off and the heat starts to build, but by then I’ve already slunk into jeans and a pullover and I really only like to [...]

Road Trip

July 30th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Jacquie's Posts, Tripping

Hey, it’s me.  Posting from my little hotel room somewhere in Newport, Oregon.  I think it’s a tiny beach side town but it’s really hard to tell, what with all the fog that’s obscuring the views both left and right of the highway!  That should be the Pacific Ocean to our right but …can’t see [...]

Friendship and Summer Vacation!

Friendship is good for the soul!
My family and I recently spent 10 days visiting Bonnie, John and their beautiful brown eyed dog Spot at their lake front property in the Okanagan.  There wasn’t a moment that I didn’t LOVE!  It’s always fun going on road trips for summer vacation but when your visiting your [...]

Hey people, last weekend my little sister drove up to Santa Barbara for a bit of a girlfriend getaway and I asked her to give me a rundown on how things played out.  She’s a caterer in Los Angeles and does lots of hollywood parties for name brand celebs on the A,B and C lists [...]

Tripping to Seattle!

April 9th, 2009 · 8 Comments · Jacquie's Posts, Tripping

As a very little girl, 5 or 6 maybe, I remember being mesmerized by TV ads for the Bon Marche (sounded so exotic) and a magical place built somewhere off the I-5 called South Center Mall. I guess that was the beginning of my fascination with the city of Seattle. Spending a few days across [...]

Tripping for me

March 10th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Tracy's Posts, Tripping

I feel compelled to write about travel today because it seems to me that everyone on the planet is going away somewhere warm with the exception of me.  And with our recent snow fall you can’t avoid daydreaming about being somewhere warm and exotic.

I’ve had a few Tripping adventures in my life but you can [...]

7 Things I’ve learned in Maui

March 1st, 2009 · 1 Comment · Bonnie's Posts, Tripping

I’ve been in Maui a week so far and I’ve learned a few things since I arrived.
1.  If someone takes your suitcase by mistake and leaves their similar looking bag on the carousel, take it. Large gramma panties are better than no panties (actually that’s not true).

2.   Strong gusty wind, hair and freshly applied lipstick [...]
