Saigon in time for the Chinese New Year !
2010
Our list of must sees is very long still but we finally ticked off Argentina,Brazil Uraguay and Paraguay.Check out my pages and follow our journey of discovery. *

5ABOUT ME
We spend much of the winter in our Florida home. We are really excited to have a place in this wonderful sunshine state to call home . ( and to escape the cold dark days of winter). Our house is in Englewood , a quiet town which still can boast Old Florida Charm. Drop in for a visit. Englewood
In the Spring we return to Halifax Nova Scotia , with our little dog. Halifax is home . It's a vibrant and fun city with lots to offer for all who come .

Our family is steadily growing We have four children who are all grown now , and 6 wonderful grandchildren.

Like many of the people on this site I love to travel and so does my husband and constant travelling companion . The first trip I took as a child was by train . My adventure took me from my small hometown of Glace Bay in Cape Breton to the big city of Toronto , to visit my sister. The excitement I felt then was the same excitement I feel every time we visit a new place .

So far my husband and I have travelled to 83 different countries . We are always planning our next trip . India , Sri Lanka, Nepal and Dubai are next...sometime in Jan 2012.
It is our goal to see 200 countries in our time here on earth . We have a long ways to go but I think we can make it. It was while searching the net for travel trips , that I found VT. Its a super site and the people here are the best.

Brazil 2010

A View of Brazil

Our excitement grew as we circled high above !
Riobefore landing and caught a glimpse of its famous beaches!!

We packed all we could into our 3 day self directed tour .The famous sites like The Christ Statue, Sugar Loaf and of course a visit to that famous cafe where the Girl from Ipanema was spotted

Iguacu Falls

You can almost hear th roar

The Falls
are a must to see from both sides.
We started our journey visiting the Argentinaside. Here we got to see the falls up close and personaland waht a site they are. Really it is a case of "A picture is worth a thousand words"!
The second day we expected to see a less dramatic view but wow were we mistaken .Here it semed we were under the falls and their thunderous roar surrounded us!!

Uraguay

Uraguay
surprised us! Really we did so little research before coming but we quickly realized this country has so much to offer.
We spent severaldays in Montivideo and travelled to Colonia as a day trip.

We enjoyed the history ,the markets ,the food and it is Montivideo that introduced us first to Tango!

Argentina

A peak at days gone by

We started our visit in Argentina at Igaucu Falls and what a spectacular introduction they were.

From here we flew to Mendosa. Even though we are wine lovers we knew little about Argentina wine...our wine tour to four different winerys taught us all we needed to know and more!!

The last leg of our trip took us to Buenos Aires

.Here we spent five days ,visiting the sights ,enjoying the food ,wine and music.....oh and someshopping ( of course)

Florida 2010

Paraguay

Our day trip across the order was fun and gave us a chance to see for ourselves the Border Town we had heard so much about.

Kenya and Tanzania and Egypt - Sept 2009

When willI take this off my homepage? Maybe never!
This was truly a trip of a lifetime!

We started our safari in Tanzania ,visiting th Crater

and of course the the magic of the Serengeti

Kenya was next on our journey of a life time .
Here we visited four famous Parks including Tsavo National Park,along with Amboseli ,Lake Nakuru and of course the infamous Masai Mara

The last leg of our trip took us to. Egypt
