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 …

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 …

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 …

Just read what I wrote and realise it …

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 …
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 …
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 …
I'll come clean. I have eaten Moose before. In Swedish Lappland. And whilst it was ohhhhhkay I can't say I'm a fan - in fact I prefer my Moose in this version. In the wild, minding their own Moose business, levelling slightly disconcerting stares (or is it a Moose glare I wonder?) at the irritatingly …
It’s raining on a Thursday afternoon in summer time Denali National Park. Holed up in our cabin I am forced to turn to other things to occupy my time. Now is a good time for a more than just a travel blog post. Which is in this post as well don’t worry but I’ve been …
