Our Travels
North & South American Trips
Europe (& Washington, DC)
The first stop on our trip in the spring of 2022 was a week in Washington, DC. We then headed to Europe where we visited Portugal, France, Belgium, The Netherlands, & Germany. We'll finish our trip with a Scandinavian cruise.
House Swaps & Cruises
In the fall of 2018, when we had house swaps in Brooklyn and Boston and two cruises from Boston, the first was supposed to go to Bermuda but a hurricane got in the way. The second one ended in Quebec City.
Short Trips
In the summer of 2017 we took several short trips. We had a week in Toronto visiting Kevin & Emily, a week in Nova Scotia, and then a 2nd, shorter trip in another part of Nova Scotia. We finished with a week in New York City.
Coast to Coast - The West
The second part of our 2016 coast to coast trip started with a house swap in Banff and then a visit to the US Pacific Northwest. The rest of the trip included stops in Vancouver (another house swap), the Yukon Territory, and BC's Okanagan Valley.
Coast to Coast - The East
In the summer of 2016 we went coast to coast. In the east, we started with a house swap in Toronto and then also swapped in both Ottawa & Montreal. The 'after Toronto' part of the trip also included visits to two Ontario wine regions.
US Southwest & Cruise
In the fall of 2015 we visited the US Southwest. We started with a couple of days in the Grand Canyon, before heading to Bryce & Zion Canyons in Utah. In Galveston, Texas, we boarded a ship for a cruise to Cozumel, Belize, and Roatan, Honduras.
Cruise with Kevin & Emily
In December 2014, we returned to the Southern Caribbean, this time with Kevin and Emily. We started in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and visited St. Thomas, USVI, Basseterre on St. Kitts, Oranjestad, Aruba, and Willemstad, Curacao. Our pub crawl!
South America
Our summer 2013 trip was to South America. We visited Brazil (the Amazon, Rio de Janeiro, Iguazu Falls), Argentina (Iguazu Falls, Buenos Aires, Mendoza), Chile (Santiago, after first flying to Easter Island), and finally, Machu Picchu and the Galapagos Islands!
Oasis of the Sea
In the spring of 2011 we vacationed on the largest cruise ship in the world. The ship was separated into 7 neighbourhoods so there was always something to do or see. The ports of call were almost secondary because of all the activities on the ship.
The Rockies & Okanagan
Our spring 2007 vacation was in the Rockies and Okanagan. We actually started in Regina and then visited Calgary before heading to Banff for a few days. Then it was on to Jasper and then to British Columbia where we spent a week in wine country.
More Caribbean Cruises
A cruise with Sharyn & Jeremy and Kevin & Emily in Dec 2009, a Southern Caribbean cruise out of San Juan in Dec 2007, and our first cruise, over Christmas 2004, that stopped at Chichen Itza in Mexico and the Grand Bahamas.
