I often wonder if tourism organizations really know what us travelers want? Yes, I know we all want different things. But that is my point exactly. The info centres just push one thing and that is paying attractions. Of course, some are fun and worth the price. But who wants to be always paying. The […]
The plan was to head west today on Manitoulin Island. I had gotten up extra early as my day looked like a long one consisting of driving and hiking. I was excited as this was going to be my first real taste of life on the island. It was an island which, so far, had […]
Bye, bye Sudbury and helloooooo Manitoulin Island. Was not sure what to expect from my visit to Manitoulin Island. The information online and any literature I could read really did not do much for the island. So, all I could do was plot my course and see what happens. I did my usual, woke up […]
Near the end of my viist to Sudbury, Ontario I took to the road to visit with some of the adventure attractions away from the city. In tourist lingo they are called “Day Trips”. I wanted to visit some of them, just because. I was more curious than anything and hoping, maybe, to get a […]
My stay in Algonquin Park came to an abrupt end. I enjoyed my opportunity to canoe one of Canada’s premier paddle parks. It was a great way to kick off the summer research season. The adventure provided me some great scenery, as well as, my first encounter with flying bugs and hot, hot summer days. […]
My visit to Algonquin Park located east of North Bay, Ontario (and south because it is such a huge park) was everything I thought it would be and more. From researching the park, I quickly learned there are only really three entrances to the park – all leading to the outer edges of the park. […]
North Bay, Ontario on the shores of Lake Nipissing provided some great adventure and sightseeing. The community has developed a waterfront with parks, trails, beaches and attractions. While exploring is became obvious quickly that the waterfront is where the locals hang out. It was busy. There were cyclists, walkers, people pushing baby strollers, reading books, […]

Packing up the adventure gear, planning the route, looking over the travel pods (trailers), making sure photo and video gear are working well and making and list and checking it twice because this summer research trip is going to be soooo nice! The days and nights are counting down before we must pack up for […]
It is amazing how much is not taught to us in Canada about Canada. And it blows us away how much advertising is pushed on us Canadians to travel outside the country. Other countries market for our travel dollars and Canada is just figuring this out. Only when times are tough do the so called […]
Sorry for not being around for a few weeks. But we have been busy and are gearing up for the road once again. Every summer we pick up and head to explore Canada. We have been building a passionate relationship with the country since 1995. Our road trip this summer takes us east as we […]

Walking in the steps of the Klondike Gold Rush is extremely easy when visiting in Dawson City, Yukon. We had a great time during our road show. It was the 1900s all over again. There were venues with show girls and a casino depicting the times of the gold rush at Gerties Diamond Tooth Gambling […]
Sometimes in the middle of researching for our travel websites you come across some of Canada’s great adventures. I am not talking about the ones you read about in the paper every year nor the ones which seem to get all the global press. No.. I am talking about the small town Canada adventures. Sometimes […]
During our research trip to the Yukon we learned so much more about the history, culture of Northern Canada. We learned that the Yukon has many amazing lakes, rivers, mountains, glaciers, ice fields, canyons, heritage sites, waterfalls, wildlife and people. The Yukon gave us many “wow” moments. One of the “wow” moments hit us in […]
Traveling the country, opens your eyes up to many things that are real in life. You see good everywhere.. people smiling, people holding hands, people singing and people laughing. Unfortunately you see bad also.. poverty, public drunkenness, fighting and homelessness. But what makes everything so special are the people and places. We have met many […]
