20 Years Ago, Canada


Twenty years ago this week we were in Canada. We drove from Salt Lake City to Calgary. We were there during the famous Calgary Stampede and were excited to go to that festivity a few days during our visit. 

On this day, however, we were at Lake Louise. It is one of the prettiest places I have ever seen. The hotel was beautiful inside and out. We went into the lobby and were soothed by the music of a harp player. Outside on the shore, the beautiful blue lake was busy with folks like us, tourists, but it somehow still managed to be a peaceful place.



It was pointed out on signs on the walkway that the glacier that feeds the lake is receding. I imagine the way things are going that in the twenty years since then it has changed even more.

Back with more again soon. 
Take care and stay cozy!

Where in the World

No I am not talking about Carmen San Diego. Does anyone remember that computer game and later tv show besides me?

Actually Jim has asked me a couple times if I could choose a destination any where in the world, where would I like to go for a dream vacation. Gemini that I am I have answered differently every time he has asked.

There are places we have been that I would love to return to and explore further. One such place that I would return to is Calgary, Canada. We were there a few years ago during the Stampede and it was so much fun.

There are other places that I have never been to that I imagine would be wonderful to visit. What comes to mind right now are Australia or Ireland. You might notice a trend of English speaking countries here. I mean no disrepect to other places but I have a fear of getting lost in a place where I can't make myself understood. Silly I know but that is just me.

Penny pincher that I am you can bet that when the time comes to actually decide on a destination and go I will be looking for the best travel deals I can find.

What is your dream destination?
