We arrived back in Australia in January after a very sad departure from Vancouver, Canada. We spent a week saying goodbye to lots of friends and enjoying a last bit of snow at Whistler. In some ways it feels as though we have never left Australia. Most aspects of life are very similar to that … Continue reading Back in Australia

Valley of Fire, Nevada
Haven't heard of Valley of Fire? I am not surprised - it wasn't on our original itinerary and we tossed up whether to go. It is "just" a state park, but it was probably one of my top 5 things we saw on our trip. To get there take a drive east along the 167 … Continue reading Valley of Fire, Nevada

Going to the park in Winter
The last time we were in Kelowna was in April earlier this year. It was a beautiful sunny and super-warm 18C (64F). The Kelowna-ites were out in force - we struggled to get a parking spot at one of the parks south of downtown (Gyro Beach Park). There were people having barbecues, playing on the playground … Continue reading Going to the park in Winter
