This place is responsible for my new found passion in life. Sadly it's a passion that is going to be only rarely indulged. Unless of course my home town of Perth decides to build a multimillion dollar roller coaster theme park anytime soon. Looks like I'll just have to come up with more reasons to …

DisneyWorld aka A Place Where Being a Kid Is Awesome (even if you’re an adult)
Well it took me thirty eight years but I got here in the end. And it is indeed magical. We arrived in Orlando on a Wednesday afternoon and were checked into the Radisson Parkway by about 2ish. By 3ish we were in the Magic Kingdom, one of the four parks that make up DisneyWorld. This …

There’s A Moon Over Bourbon Street Tonight…
Well not tonight. But there was when we were walking down it our first evening spent there in the city of Jazz, Blues and that particular kind of guitar I forget the name of right now. It is also the city of fantastic food, seemingly endless amounts of astoundingly cheap alcohol and many dens of …

“Everything is bigger in Texas” is not just a figure of speech.
So it's been 16 days since I last updated and I really should not let the gaps between posting get that big! I need to remember that two weeks on a holiday of a lifetime is equivalent to probably 6 months of events back home! This post will cover Denver, Colorado, Mesa Verde National Park …

Greyhounds and the Mothership of all National Parks.
It's not even been seven days since my last update and yet it feels like we've accomplished great epic holiday milestones the likes of which usually take people years to get round to. So we said goodbye, a little sadly I must admit, to Canada. I've decided Vancouver is my favourite city so far. I'll …

Jasper, Banff and Calgary and not a single horse ride was to be had…
Alberta has associations for me purely from the perspective of one who was addicted to all things Canadian once the TV show Due South hit Perth television screens donkeys years ago. I wanted to go to Canada and see a real live Mountie all dressed in the red serge, I wanted to Ride Forever underneath …

A Canadian Interlude
Wherein we sit back and chillax for a while, partake in some very excellent food, socialise with incessantly polite and nice company, become slightly more educated on Van City planning, have a fandom experience, meet some wolves and make new friends and meet up with old friends. Just read what I wrote and realise it …
Where the Wild Things Are…
The sign as you drive in on the main access road, I'll concur Halibut is big business down here. Our little Cessna 206. Smallest plane I've ever been in but our pilot Michael exuded such quiet, experienced confidence I had no concerns whatsoever. I do marvel at these little beasts being able to lift off …
Where mountains fall into the sea
Today was a brilliant day in Paradise 🙂 We'd booked a cruise with Kenai Fjords Tours and we cruised the Fjords from about 9am this morning till we returned around 6pm. It was a good choice for a tour and I happily filled in the customer survey card saying that I would recommend this tour …
WHISTLE PIG! SQUIRREL! GLACIER!
So as promised on Facebook here's my little addition to our last couple of days in Denali. This here is the helicopter that we didn't get in. Weather too crappy but we both agreed we'd rather not spend that kind of money on anything less than perfect conditions. This little guy, an Arctic Ground Squirrel …
