This trip actually took place about a month ago in mid November, so I'm really behind this time. Better late than never, I guess. Also, on this trip we spent a lot of time just chilling so for 8 days on the ground it'll be a pretty short post relative to the time spent. After … Continue reading Cidade Maravilhosa

The Windy City
For Canadian Thanksgiving long weekend, we’re going to Chicago! Our aunt / sister-in-law Julie is running in the Chicago Marathon on Sunday so we’ll meet up with her, my brother Kasey and nephew Brady. Our trip starts out a bit early. I had forgotten about a free night certificate that I had at Bonvoy chain … Continue reading The Windy City
All Good Things Must End
We're going to have a quieter day today. Again, it's going to start out with a walk for some good coffee, at another spot recommended by my friend Andres. It's hard not to walk around on these beautiful tree lined streets in Eixample. It's been so long ago that I forgot what we did this … Continue reading All Good Things Must End
Our Final Stop – The City of Counts
We begin the next leg of our journey at the Madrid Atocha railway station. The original trainsheds have been converted into this atrium area with cafes and a tropical garden. After going through the baggage x-ray checkpoint, we stopped at this candy store to get Ellie a few sweet treats for the way. Today we're … Continue reading Our Final Stop – The City of Counts
“I love this pool!”
Another delicious breakfast in Jeronimo the next morning. After breakfast, I'm heading out for a bike tour for a couple of hours while Ellie chills in the room. She wouldn't enjoy coming out when it's already hot at 930 in the morning. To get to the meeting place, I walk down many narrow streets like … Continue reading “I love this pool!”
¡Hala Madrid! …y nada más (Go Madrid! And nothing more..)
After a far too short stay in Vienna, we're back at the airport, but via the airport bus for the first time. I didn't feel like struggling with getting the luggage on and off the train twice, so the bus was very convenient - and air conditioned! We're going onwards to Madrid this evening, from … Continue reading ¡Hala Madrid! …y nada más (Go Madrid! And nothing more..)
Willkommen in Wien
After a few days of relative rest, Ellie and I said Ahoj to our Czech family and are back at the train station in Pardubice. Today we're en route to Vienna, a 3 hour ride. Before we know it, we're at Wien Hauptbahnof. Very nice to once again be able to take a direct train … Continue reading Willkommen in Wien
That’s a Wrap
We begin this post again, where else, but back at the airport. As noted my friends Agathe and Mark took me to the airport after our brunch, and they headed off to a different terminal to deal with a very frustrating missing baggage issue from one of Mark's flights a few days prior. I didn't … Continue reading That’s a Wrap
Back Into the Heat
I barely got to spend any time at all in that gorgeous room. Not only that, no time for what I'm sure was an amazing breakfast, too! Today I'm flying with Emirates to Dubai. Emirates is unique amongst airlines in that if you're travelling in a premium cabin on a cash ticket, you can get … Continue reading Back Into the Heat
I’m Going For The Food
After a quick ride down one of Singapore's gorgeous expressways - it really is a city in garden - I'm back at Changi Airport. In the background of the drop off area for Terminal 3 is Jewel, which I visited in 2019. It is really an incredible space ! Here's a photo of the interior … Continue reading I’m Going For The Food
