Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Hyatt Ziva Cancun (March 2019)

The only all-inclusive resort of the dozen or so we’ve stayed at that we’ve said we’d go back to.  Absolutely stunning.

Friday Fun Link – Favourite Cocktails by Spirit

Saw this on Reddit and thought it would be fun to do my list: Gin – no idea Bourbon – Old Fashioned Vodka – Caesar Rum – Pina Colada Rye Whiskey – Not a True Cocktail but Rye & Store-Brand Sprite Is My Go To Tequila – Paloma

Submarine Billionaires

Not to mention the insane wastefulness of spending $250,000 for a five-minute glimpse of the Titanic.  Imagine the good that money could’ve done otherwise.  Or contrast the media attention and “all hands on deck” search and rescue operation which was basically guaranteed to be futile while boatloads of refugees are ignored completely. Guess what?  I […]

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. […]

Looking forward to camping this summer as much as I probably ever have!

Saskatchewan’s Best Scenic Drives (Revised Edition)

Saturday Snap – “Sasha’s, Not Yours”

As she gains more independence, we’ve occasionally been letting Sasha walk to the nearby convenience store to use her allowance money to buy a treat. Apparently that independence also extends to letting everyone in the family know exactly who bought the unique Warheads-flavoured soda!

Friday Fun Link – EF “Touch of the Tropics” Costa Rica Tour

Heading to the airport in the middle of the night as Pace is leaving for a 10 day Educational Foundations (EF) tour through school.  Hard to believe the day has arrived!  

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – I Wonder What Their Tourism Slogan Is? (February 2008)

Given our province’s recent track record, “Access One” would probably be good enough and they wouldn’t even need to make a new sign!

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 […]
