    Hôtel Escad (Alt+) Quartier DIX30 located in the suburbs of Montreal in the city of Brossard was beautiful. They have been working on a metro line that will take you from Brossard to Montreal. There have been delays which I assume are somewhat caused by covid and so at the time of this writing (Sept…

    When I woke up in Montreal the next morning I took a good deal of time to relax. By a good deal of time it was probably only about 2 hours but for someone who typically has a tiny human who wants their attention from the moment they wake up 2 hours of solitude is…

    I spent less than 24 hours in Canada. I spent about 11 hours driving and about 22 or 23 hours in the country, less at my destination. Was it worth it? Actually yes it was. I forgot how much long drives by myself in open spaces helps to ease my soul. Nowhere near as much…

    I want to start off by saying thank you for joining me in yet another year. I want to apologize for my lack of writing as of late. I’ve had some personal things come up this past year that I am going to share with you now. If you’re just here for the travel, you…

    As much as I love the art sand travel I equally love sports (Yankees, Steelers, & Penn State Nittany Lions). So when I realized I was going to be in Italy during the first game of the Penn State Season and the start of the NFL season it was time to plan (Sept 2015). In…

    Hamlet. As in Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Yeah that guy. He has a castle in his home of Denmark. Sort of. Now we know Hamlet wasn’t real but there’s a lot of mystery surrounding Shakespeare. Things weren’t well documented and preserved then. A little ironic with him you know being a writer and all. Some of the…

    Back in February of 2016 I went back to Iceland after having left in December of 2015. Here are some thoughts from that trip…. I am 8 days into my current trip. The first 5.5 were spent in Oslo, Norway. I have been back in Reykjavík since. I’ve already realized you can’t go back again.…

    I have previously been to The Viking Ship museum in Oslo, Norway so to learn that less than an hour away from Copenhagen there was a museum with 5 Viking ships I was pretty excited to say the least. I hopped a train and headed off. It’s about a mile walk to the museum from…

    I know what you’re thinking: TOURIST TRAP WHY??? And trust me I usually don’t like a lot of the tourist stuff and I really feel Hollywood Blvd is much like Times Square in NYC (HELL) but I do find the outside of the Chinese Theater very interesting, provided you aren’t there late morning – early…

    Many people love St. Tropez. Before I went I heard from multiple people “You must go to Saint Tropez!” So, on my second visit to the Cote D-Azur region I went to Saint Tropez. After driving out to Saint Tropez, and walking around for a little bit I thought, “Why did I come to Saint…
