I’ve only done this a few times before for some of our previous trips but I think that the video that I made for our recent Australian Excellent Adventure is my best. You can watch the video online here. Baden

Our Excellent Australian Adventure – Part 3
When we were leaving Sydney to move to the next phase of our trip in the Melbourne area, we all knew that this part of Our Excellent Australian Adventure was going to be quite unique. Why so? Well we were going to be doing something that (for Barb and I) we have only done once in all of the years…

Weihnachtsmarkt in Vancouver
Barb and I have only spent one Christmas away from home together which was in December of 2001 when we went to Germany. For me it was my first time in Germany and being there at Christmas time was a unique experience that I will remember forever. By far, one of the highlights of the trip was my introduction to…

Barb’s Mystery Adventure

Only about 3 weeks have passed since our return from eastern Canada and like most people have been hearing about the big storm that has passed through that part of the country which is the tail end of tropical storm Noel. While we were able to enjoy pretty good weather on our trip (by and large), we had spoken to…

Excellent Adventure Travel Tips version 2
About two and a half years ago I posted my original Excellent Adventure Travel Tips document. This document was a compilation of (at the time) about 10 years of Excellent Adventures and summed up an ongoing research effort on my part of reading every “how to pack your suitcase” and “how to stay safe when travelling” web site that I…

Learning About Cheese By The Book
As you might have gathered from my recent post about the local cheese shop Les Amis du Fromage, Barb and I really like our cheese. However, I didn’t say how we managed to find this cheese shop. It came about when I happened to purchase this book on Canadian cheese producers. The book is called The Definitive Guide to Canadian…
