Staying Close To Home – Exploring Ontario: Prince Edward County, Picton Ontario

Published by

Living in Ontario for us is somewhat dull – we’d rather be off travelling around Europe or the Caribbean, but millions of people from around the world come to Canada and Ontario specifically for their holidays or vacation time. We don’t understand it, but people we talk to in other countries don’t understand why we go to their country for a holiday! Since we’re not flying anywhere anytime soon, we’re focusing on travelling closer to home by car for the time being – re-discovering home if you will. Read More

Whether you enjoy reading in your back yard, on the beach, on a plane or during those never-ending waits at the airport, we recommend you dive into a great adventure series written by our friend and favourite USA Today Bestselling Author, Nicholas Harvey.

Reading is a great way to escape life’s mundane drudgery, but with so many authors to choose from, how do you know which ones are worth bothering about? We’re very picky with who we read – Gail isn’t much for novels, and I love mysteries from the likes of James Patterson and Michael Connolly. Read More

Staying Close To Home: Exploring Ontario – Muskoka, Ontario

Published by

This is the first of several articles that we’re going to be doing… Ever since the world-wide lockdowns we have been wondering when or IF we’ll get to travel again. You’ve probably noticed we’ve been very quiet for the past 2 year – we just didn’t know what to expect going forward, and even if we were going to continue doing TravelBloggers anymore. Now that things are a bit clearer we’ve decided to continue, but we’re staying close to home… for now.

Belgium Has More To Offer Than The World-Famous Spa-Francorchamps Racetrack!

Published by

Belgium… what do you know about this country that sits right beside France and Germany? We knew very little, but we were going there for a race at the world-famous Spa-Francorchamps racetrack.

Since we’d never been to Belgium before, we thought we’d spend some time after the race doing a quick tour of the area. With only about 2 ½ days before we were scheduled to be in Germany, we took in as much as we could in that short period of time… and nobody does speed-touring like us! Read More
