….. if pop/soda/carbonated beverages could stand on their own as drinkable beverages when they lose their fizz?
Also, am I the only one who has trouble swallowing those drinks because of the amount of fizz?? I actually have to let them sit open for a while or shake them if I don’t want to feel like I’m just gulping air!
Hello folks!
Today’s Ideal Vacay is Prince Edward Island!
I have little knowledge about the province as I’ve never been, but really, how bad can a place be when they’re known for potatoes? Since that’s about the extent of my knowledge (other than it’s home to the Anne of Green Gables series, and the Dragon’s Den presenter who started a business selling pieces of P.E.I. land as touristy gifts), instead I’ll offer one of my favourite jokes at the end of this post.
As always, if you’ve been to P.E.I. and love it, I want to hear what you saw and did that you really liked! If I were to go there tomorrow, what would you recommend seeing and doing?
And now for my cheeeeezy joke:
There were once three thieves, running away from the police. They were pretty dumb, and desperately needed a place to hide, so they took off down a dark alley. There, they found three potato sacks, so they each climbed into one. Shortly after, the police arrived.
The main cop kicked the first sack.
“Meowww…..”
“Must be a cat,” she said, and continued down the alley.
The cop kicked the second potato sack.
“Woof! Woof!”
“Ahh, just a dog,” said the cop, so they kept on down the alley.
The cop kicked the third sack, and heard clear as day:
“Poooo-taaaaaa-tooooooo”
Hello folks!
It’s been a while since I’ve updated my Ideal Vacation Series, so I thought I’d give the next province a shot.
New Brunswick: I’ve never been. What do I know about it? Well, I know of Moncton. That’s where my boyfriend’s sister’s family lives. I know they get a lot of snow. I’m not sure how much in comparison with the rest of Canada, but it seems they’re always creating roads through banks of the stuff. I’ve heard it’s very pretty. It also has a Costco.
Have you been to New Brunswick? Hit me up with suggestions on where to go and what to see and do!
Hello all!
Today’s travel post is about a place I’ve never been: Newfoundland and Labrador! I know Gander is in there somewhere, and has an airport because one of my best friends works there 😉
What is nice to see in Newfoundland and Labrador? What do you suggest I do when I hopefully visit one day? Let me know in the comments section.
Hi all, back to some futuristic vacation planning!
Today’s Ideal Vacation province is Québec. I have only been there a few times in my life, so I know very little about where to visit, just that it was fun when I went!
Make sure to take a trip during maple syrup time and go for the whole experience of a maple syrup shack. I believe there are a few places out there that offer tours, but I’m waiting to hear back from one I think I’ve been to (because I don’t see tours listed on their site) to make sure I don’t give you false information!
Anyway, the experience of maple syrup taffy laid out and rolled on a block of packed snow onto a stick like a sucker….. well, that’s just priceless. You’ll want another, so you might as well get two to start!
I remember walking along the streets in old Quebec City in the early summer, browsing local vendors’ works, enjoying the artsy-ness of the place. Also, check out Château Frontenac — pretty cool (and huge!) building.
Montréal is gorgeous in the summer as well….. a very European feel to it with patios crowding the sidewalks and horse-drawn carriages rolling along cobblestone-like roads. The carriage is definitely fun and worth the trip.
Have you been to Québec? Got some other suggestions on where to go, and what to see and do? Let me know in the comments section!
Hi folks!
Today’s Ideal Vacation location is my own dear province: Ontario! Since I have visited a few places around this province, I’ll start by introducing the one I know best:
Where to visit:
What to do:
Well, I’ve got a list started anyway. I do love playing Tour Guide for friends who’ve never been, so expect to see more updates to this list in the future. Feel free to add your own as well!
As this was only about Niagara Falls, I will try to get to other cities in the coming days, but I’ll need your help too! Tell me which cities in Ontario you love to visit and why!
Hey all!
I’m taking a break from the Ideal Vacation series to bring you a new challenge: I’d like to create a series of entries that’ll serve as a resource to find awesome home-cooking restaurants in Toronto, Ontario. To start off, I’ll pick an area of the GTA, and let you know where my favourite place to eat is, and why. You can tell me if I’m nuts, or if you know of a better place.
Toronto sometimes gets a reputation for being a bit uptight, and it’s not hard to understand why: costs are sky-high for real estate in this busy city, so you gotta be good to make it.
However, you don’t have to be expensive, posh, or even that great of an atmosphere to have really good home-cooked food. Although it’s sometimes nice to have a fancy meal out, with so many of us 1st-, 2nd-, 3rd-generation Canadians living here, there’s something to be said for having a meal that reminds us of chowing down at the family dining table growing up.
I have explored some areas more than others, so if your fave spot doesn’t make it here, I might not even know about it! If you have a suggestion of a place, tell me here and I’ll make sure to try it in the next few weeks. Also be sure to include your favourite dish, so I can know what to order!
Hi all!
Today’s Ideal Vacation province is Manitoba. If you’re new to my blog, the idea is to dedicate an entry to each Canadian province and ask anyone who stumbles across it for suggestions on what to see or do if I were to travel there. I’ve been to Manitoba, so I can tell you what I liked when I went:
It’s been a long time since I went, so by all means, tell me what you like or recommend seeing. If I were to go again, what would you recommend I see or do?
Hello reader friends!
It’s time for another province in our little travel project: Saskatchewan!
What do I know about Saskatchewan? Well, Saskatoon is not the capital….. Regina is. Okay, so I kinda looked that one up. I really don’t know much about this rectangular province. I know how to spell it. That’s gotta be worth something. I do know they’re very agricultural. But then again, they’re part of the prairies, so I guess that’s not particularly surprising information. I’m trying here! I guess it’s clear I’ll really need your help on this one.
If you have ever lived, or travelled in Saskatchewan, and have a good suggestion for places to go, or things to do, let’s hear ’em!
Following the raging success of my first Ideal Vacation submission (okay, so it got some pageviews, I’m still waiting on some actual comments!), I’m on to my next province.
What I know about Alberta: it has oil sands and processes that messy stuff in a relatively clean way, from what I’ve heard. Also, they are responsible for Clippers. I think there is also a big mall.
Now that my ignorance is there for all to see, it’s your turn to step up and tell me what the best things are to see and do in Alberta!
