It looks like I'll be heading back to Prince Edward County, Ontario to visit my family. In fact, it is confirmed I'm leaving next week. I have plenty of time for vacations this summer as some colleagues and myself were given an unexpected, extended vacation. In other words we were let go until further notice.

So, I've decided to turn lemons into lemonade, make the best of it and head home. This ...

As I mentioned many times before, we visited Phuket, Thailand a few weeks ago. On the way there, the flight was re-routed because of a tropical cyclone in our path. That was on Tuesday the 29th of April. On the immediate Friday after, that being the 3rd of May we received word that a devastating cyclone had hit the nearby country of Myanmar (Burma), approximately 280 km north of us, ...

We have just booked our trip to Thailand. We are heading to Phuket again, but this time to picturesque Kata Beach not Karon Beach like last year. No specific reason, we just want to try something new. It got me reminiscing about the different trips we have booked over the years. Most of them ...

Apparently, Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark has misplaced his wedding ring. Unfortunately, he didn't just accidentally leave it lying around on the coffee table at home. According to seoghoer.dk, the Prince was on a diving tour in Florida, U.S.A. and it slipped off of his finger. It all happened this past January while the Prince was on a sailing trip off of the North American Coast in Florida. While on ...

I started the ball rolling with my passport renewal yesterday by getting some new photos done. I still have a collection of rejects from the last time I tried to renew my passport.  It makes me think of that 1994 comedy called Clifford where he says, "Don't reject me..."

Anyhow, passport renewal time is a bit of a pain for all parties involved including the photographer. People with a Danish passport ...

About a year ago, around this time, the infamous ”Ungdomshus” on Jagtvej 69 in Copenhagen was demolished. To make a long story short, the “Ungdomshus” or “Youth Centre” as it’s known, was a haven for outcasts, lost souls and creative sorts looking for a place to hang their hat.

They lived for many years in a house owned by the City of Copenhagen, virtually rule and rent free. The idea that ...

I, like most people was really shocked to read about Australian actor Heath Ledger's recent death in the news today. Actually, shocked is an understatement. He was only 28 years old!  Apparently, he was found lying on the floor in an apartment in Manhattan yesterday. I am not sure what happened to him but I read an article at that blog - you know the one that sounds like the socialite's name?

Anyhow, ...

It is almost 2008. Can you believe it? It seemed like not too long ago we were bringing in the millennium. Time sure flies when you are having fun. I just looked over my New Year's Resolutions from 2007 and I think I have accomplished them all. 2008 will just be a continuation and improvement on 2007's resolutions. Travelling more, with meaning and purpose and complaining less. I guess it's ...

I was just reminded that today is the third anniversary of the disastrous Tsunami that claimed thousands of lives in Thailand in 2004. I choose to remember the beautiful images of Phuket, Thailand from my trip last year. Looking at this photo I took in May 2007, filled with blue skies, golden sandy beaches and content vacationers, it's ...

Christmas came early for me today when I checked the post. I received in my postbox, the gift that keeps on giving, that being the gift of "travel." No, it wasn't an all inclusive trip to an exotic island somewhere(maybe next time) but something that would come in handy if that did(and should) happen.

Anyhow, I wasn't sure exactly what this mystery package contained ...
