Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Jan Lake Lodge (July 2014)

With the wildfires burning in northern Saskatchewan (and really, across much of Canada’s north), I can’t help but think of the handful of times I’ve been able to travel to the north of the province for vacations or even work. This was a fishing trip we did with Shea’s family in 2014.

Shea and I have done three or four day trips to Isla Mujeres when we’ve stayed at all-inclusives in the Cancun area over the years. And every time, we come home and say “That was the best part of our trip – we should stay there for our whole trip sometime!” Isla Mujeres is a […]

Friday Fun Link – Isla Contoy

We’ll be visiting Isla Mujeres from March 2 to 9 and this will be the first time we haven’t stayed at an all-inclusive in all our various trips to Mexico/Cuba/Dominican Republic over the past 25 years. One thing we might do is take a boat trip to an ecologically protected, undeveloped island…
