Heading to Maui The first (hopefully of many) trips in 2022 is to Maui. I'm joined on this trip by some familiar faces from a previous trip to Hawaii: Cactoose, Lebron and Antetokounmpo! In early 2022, Lebron, Antetokounmpo and I wanted to do a trip "somewhere". We originally looked at flying to San Francisco in February. However, with rumblings and news of Canada dropping its testing...

In order to maximize the flights, I got "creative" with...

With a long drive back to Halifax ahead of us today, our first stop is sticky buns at Kelly's Bakery again! After, we hop in the car and settle in for the long drive back to Halifax.

However, with the cost of the ferry being quite high, we decide to drive around...

Moncton Morning From our hotel room, we were treated to a lovely sunrise over the water. Admittedly I did sleep through the start of it, but these photos are courtesy of the parental minions! Eventually the sun rises above the clouds and we head down to the hotel lobby for breakfast. With some food in our bellies and our suitcases in the car, we are off. We start heading down the coast towards...
