Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Bellagio Fountains (March 2009)

May have told this story before but my parents won a trip for two to Las Vegas and it happened to coincide with a week that Shea and I had booked off. So after a bit of chaos to get Pace (two going on three) a rush passport, we booked and ended up going along. […]

University of Western Ontario Is One of Only Twenty Universities Worldwide To Get Top Rating (And Only One in Canada)

I really thought my attending the University of Western Ontario might drag the rating down – yes, even nearly two decade later.  But luckily UWO is still an extremely prestigious University even if they allow pretenders like myself to darken their halls. 😉

Friday Fun Link – Dildo Man’s Dickie Berg Photo Goes Viral

I can only imagine what the folks at REAL and Tourism Regina would do if they had a dick-shaped iceberg appear on Regina’s mighty shores! Luckily the guy from Dildo who snapped a photo of a dick shaped iceberg near Conception Bay isn’t an official from a tourism agency, just a Newfoundlander with a sense […]

Dildo, Newfoundland’s Slogan Is…

“There’s No Place Like Dildo” Can you imagine?  So booorrrring! Did they not realise what a goldmine of a city name they were sitting on compared to most Canadian cities?  The right slogan and boom – right to Jimmy Kimmel!

Music Monday – “Experience Regina” (Well, It Was An Experience To Be in Regina This Weekend Anyhow!)

“Experience Regina” Parody (Watch It To See Some of Regina’s “Highlights”) You may have heard that Tourism Regina recently rebranded. It started with a teaser clip and message on social media at the start of March: It’s All Happening… Let’s push the narrative; the same old is boring. Our city is changing, and that means […]

Saturday Snap – Varadero Sunset

Yes, we were in the Mayan Riviera, not Varadero. Yes, I technically quit drinking booze at the end of last August (but with the caveat that I *mostly* quit which allows me to still imbibe occasionally – or more than occasionally if I’m at an all-inclusive resort!) But yes, this drink we invented a few […]

The resort we were just at was almost all the way to Tulum (which is two hours south of Cancun.). Our resort was about an hour and a half south of the Cancun airport.
