Canada 150 #1

This year, 2017, Canada is celebrating its 150th birthday.

This feature will hopefully give you an idea of the richness and diversity of the country. Covering over 5000 kilometres from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean, its motto of 'ad mare usque ad mare' meaning 'from sea to sea' is very fitting. Actually it should be 'ad mare usque ad mare usque ad mare', as the country stretches from the United States border to the Arctic Ocean.

Thoughts and Tips #49 - February 9, 2017 - We're Back!

We're back...

After a pause of 18+ months, the blog 'Thoughts, Tips 'n Travel is back.

While taking on a new job related to travel in June 2015 gave me greater opportunity to travel, the time I had to write decreased. I never wanted to give up the writing. During the intervening time there were many occasions when I thought of writing again. 

Here we are nicely in to 2017. I hope to maintain many of the features of the established blog; however the frequency of their appearance, and of the publishing of the blog may change.
