Would You Live Here?

Would you like to live here?  My hubby and I are always looking for rural property and would switch our lake front home for something like this.  Why?  Because here we could have a few animals without worrying about the neighbours dogs chasing them and this place would be better equipped to house those animals.  The number one thing is the privacy we would have. Lake side living is amazing for cottagers and for some people, but the summertime on our lake is so busy!!! It's like living in the city at times. We are not ready to sell yet, but one day soon we might just be able to buy something like this before we have to move into the retirement home. 🤣🤣 Oh! And where is this?  This is Northeastern Ontario, Canada. I have also attached some facts about this great province I live in.  - Ontario covers one million square kilometres. This makes it larger than Spain and France combined! - Ontario is the second-largest province in Canada, coming in behind Quebec. - Boasting approximately 250,000 lakes, Ontario is estimated to have 20% of the world’s freshwater stores. Maybe one day you will visit Ontario!4y

Travel Tips!!

I have posted travelling tips before, but these are some good ones.   Here are the ones I thought would be useful.  - Bring your own headphones. - Bring wet wipes and hand sanitizer. - Check in 24-hours before your flight (online). - Take a photo of your checked luggage. - Bring an empty water bottle and fill it up once you pass security. - Check your flight's status before heading to the airport. - Keep a collection of hotel toiletries. - Take a photo of your parking space so you don't forget where you parked. - Book your flights on Tuesday or Wednesdays for better deals.. (this is interesting!) - Rent a car through the website rather than wait in line. - Download or print your boarding pass and airport map. - Tear up plane tickets after flights. The barcodes contain personal information. - Carry spare outfit on carry on. This article has 139 tips!  I only posted the ones I thought would be useful but you might want to check out the rest for yourself!4y

How to Wear a Saree

Indian women always look so beautiful in their saree, and the colours of the fabric are truly spectacular. I know many of the indian women here in Canada probably only wear their traditional dress for special occasions, but when in India I bet it is more common to wear these daily.   I found this video which demonstrates how to wear a saree and it is quite complicated! As I viewed the video I wondered how long it took to learn the techniques, and was imagining that this takes extra time in the morning!  4y

Jellyfish Can be Beautiful BUT dangerous too!

Jellyfish are found all over the world, from surface waters to the deep sea.  I think they are beautiful, but I know that I should stay away from them when I am at the ocean beaches! Even though they can injure humans, they are also considered a delicacy in some Asian countries where they are pressed and salted to remove excess water. They can also create havoc for fishermen  as they can form vast swarms, which can be responsible for damage to fishing gear by filling fishing nets. They can also sometimes clog the cooling systems of power and desalination plants which draw their water from the sea.   Have you ever encountered a jellyfish? I have never seen any large ones, only tiny ones on the beaches in Florida. SOURCE4y

Maya Bay, Thailand

Boats, tourists (up to 5000 per day), and a beach that was, as they say, loved to death.  This is the story of Maya Bay in Thailand and in 2018 the government was forced to close the beach in an attempt to restore the damaged ecosystem. A team of  marine experts and volunteers worked to replant over 30,000 pieces of coral and approximately 50% of the replanted coral has survived and is starting to grow and spread on its own.  In January of this year (2022) the beach has reopened, with limitations!  Watch the video in this article to not only see the beauty of Maya Bay, but the demonstration of how this team has restored the ecosystem!4y

Living off the Grid on your own Floating Island - Would you like this lifestyle?

When I lived in British Columbia there were many people who were environmentalist, or hippies, or just people who wanted to live life a certain way. They were interesting for sure! Well, imagine living totally off the grid, and better yet on your own floating island which is comprised of a 2-story float home, a floating chicken coop, floating gardens, and even a floating compost shed!  This man (Shadow) has been living this lifestyle for 17 years! Check out this video and I would love to hear your comments about this alternative lifestyle.4y

World Class Skiing in Smithers, BC

Have you ever wanted to ski the mountains of British Columbia?  Well, there is one town I have been too and can recommend and it is called Smithers.  Smithers is located in Northwest BC along the Yellowhead Highway and is considered to have world class skiing. When I lived in Prince Rupert, everyone would head to Smithers to ski on the weekends. This small picturesque town of 5300 people is the perfect little getaway for the weekend. Skiing is not all it has to offer! Here is a tourist brochure, but in the meantime do check out these amazing views: All images taken off Google Images4y

Skeena River Road Trip - British Columbia

Imagine driving on this scenic route, majestic river on one side of you and railway tracks on the other side followed by a mountain.. This is the only way in and out, by road, to Prince Rupert, BC.  This road provides the most spectacular views I have ever seen in my life, and yet to travel it would stress me out to the point that I could never enjoy it.   When I first moved to Prince Rupert, and until they widened the highway there were so many fatal accidents along this roadway and the majority of the vehicles ended up in the river. That freaked me out. The portion of river that was the worst was tidal affected and I absolutely hated travelling that road at high tide.. There were also a few landslides during my time in BC and when that happened nothing was coming in or going out unless it was by air or sea. BUT - the beauty!! I really want to  focus on the untamed wilderness, and the raw beauty of northern British Columbia and of the Skeena River.  Check out this Skeena River Road Trip!4y

Chaotic Times for Travellers at Canada's Busiest Airport

I don't know if this is the new norm..but our Toronto International Airport is operating under chaotic times. People who are aware can mentally prepare for the long lines, cancellations, lost luggage, flight delays, and all-around disorder,  but if you are new to the airport..this can really put a damper on the vacation plans you have been looking forward to for so long. Have you been subject to this sort of chaos lately at any airports you have been at?4y
