Hey look! I went through an added an “allinclusive” tag to all my posts about various aspects of our all-inclusive holidays over the years to make them easier to find instead of just using the “holiday” tag which is a bit broader. I’m clearly getting excited with three weeks to go (and songs like the one […]

Friday Fun Link – Aeromexico Trolls Racist Americans
No idea if I’d meet their qualification for this deal but would be a great way to get a discount on a flight to Mexico if I did! 😉
Music Monday – “Stick it up, mister, hear what I say, sir, yeah/Get your hands in the air, sir/And you will get no hurt, you say”
Countdown is on to our Mexico vacation – less than a month now! Plus the temperature is -35 and falling as I type this so our holiday can’t come fast enough. Maybe this song can warm me up? “54-46 – That’s My Number” – Toots and the Maytals
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Walk Through of Our Room at Moon Palace, Cancun (February 2018)
So in exactly one month, we’ll be on our way to Cancun…but who’s counting? (Well, I guess I’m counting, especially since the weather’s been -40 recently!) Anyhow, I finally got around to uploading another room walk-through video from our resort last year. I always have intention to do something a bit more professional/polished on our […]
Friday Fun Link – Moose Jaw Engages In A Battle of the “Meese”
In a province where we take pride in our large roadside attractions, Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan has long prided itself on having the world’s largest moose. Except that a few years ago, those dirty bastard Norwegians have raised the ante(lers) by erecting a moose statue that is Max the Moose (by 31 cm) compared to Moose Jaw’s […]
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Read (June 2010)
Pace modeling my new Friends of VPL “read” cap that we got on a three week vacation to BC a few years back…
10 Reasons Mexico Is Safer For Tourists Than You Think
One of the most common questions I hear when we tell people we’ve gone to Mexico multiple times over the years (and are going again this year) is, “Is it safe?” It seems there are daily news stories about drug cartels’ influence on the highest levels of government and horror stories of mass shootings with these […]
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – West Edmonton Mall (Feb 2014)
I’ve always loved the framing of this picture…
Friday Fun Link – Dubai Fireworks (Full)
I’m sure I’ve mentioned before that my highest mark for a presentation in library school was one I did that was actually in a journalism class. My presentation was about online video and how it allows you to transcend both space and time in a way that other previous media (television, radio, etc.) couldn’t. This video from […]
WestJet’s 2018 Christmas Ad
I’m always conscious that these videos are as much about marketing as any sort of true holiday sentiment. But they *are* well-done so it’s been a bit of a minor Christmas tradition for me ot post these videos since they are usually pretty heartwarming. Here’s WestJet’s 2018 version…
