Looking back at 2024, a Minion perspective!

2024 isn't as big of a travel year as years past. This coincides with a small shift in my travel focus. At the end of 2023 I indicated that I wanted to take more trips with friends and family. I have been immensely fortunate to check off bucket list items over the years. For this year I wanted to intentionally focus on sharing experiences with others. So every trip this year, is with the...

Good Morning Halifax We are in Halifax, Nova Scotia today. We start our morning in the familiar confines of the Lido Market for breakfast. The plan for today would be to walk along the waterfront, before heading to the Alexander Keith's Brewery. Back in 2021, the Parental Minions and I visited Halifax before so a lot of this is familiar to us. Being able to experience it this time with The Sister...

The Parental Minions and I spent some time walking...

The coffee is very good and given the number of locals that drop by in the morning, it's probably a local gem! With coffee's in hand we...

For the first time since the COVID Pandemic hit, I am travelling in October! This time with Papa and Mama Minion! With Canada's numbers looking pretty stable through the summer, the idea of travelling domestically became a real possibility. With a lucrative Westjet Companion fare offer, securing tickets for the three of us to the East Coast affordably made a lot of sense. In addition, years ago I...
