Me in front of the BC legislature, Victoria, BC

Travel for me seems to take one of two forms - travel for work and travel for pleasure, not that traveling for work is not pleasurable! Sometimes, my pleasure travel has been courtesy of my spouse's employer as he does a fair amount of work travel, just as I do! Keeps life interesting. Reports on both type of travel are included here.

When I go places, I don't often get to spend very much time. One of the things I like to do, in an attempt to get a better appreciation of where I'm going, is to read travel literature and vicariously experience other people's travel experiences. I will include on my travel pages examples of my reading material.

By the way, my "member information" picture is of me (sitting in), my husband (standing by), and the Speaker's Chair in the House of Commons, Ottawa. Nice chair!
