Here and there, our travel bloggers have been everywhere.
When we left off, we were heading to Milan. Once there, we stayed in Milan’s historical and geographical city center for one night before heading off to Lago di Como for a week. We were within walking distance from the Piazza del Duomo and the Brera Art academy. The Piazza del Duomo is a dis…
Last week we left off where we got on our ferry to Barcelona from Civitavecchia in Italy. It is a 20-hour overnight ferry ride. What we did is ensure we stayed in a suite so that we’d be well rested from all the walking and exploring we had already done up until this point. As we arrived in …
Hi Daniela, in this time of the pandemic (and since we cannot travel at the moment) I thought I’d share with you and your readers my wonderful experience in Bora Bora …
Daniela, our Japan adventure is winding down, but we did a few more stops...

Hi Daniela, our journey continues… this time it’s about our pilgrimage to Kiyomizu-dera...
As promised, let's continue to share my 28-day adventures in Japan...
Daniela, going to Japan has been a dream of mine since I was a child. The first time I tasted Japanese food when I was four years-old is still a memory that I cherish. Later, my Dad would host a Japanese exchange student that I got quite close to and got to share her lovely care packages tha…
Yes, my devoted travel mongers, I’m back with more virtual tours and this week I will share with you my Vietnam adventures.
I LOVE Istanbul. It is a city in Turkey that straddles Europe and Asia across the Bosphorus Strait. Yes, you are reading correctly: between both continents (bet you had no idea).
What can I say about the natural breathtaking beauty of these islands? It makes New Zealand very appealing for us visitors. How about we take another virtual tour in this part of the world?
Hello, my travel mongers. How are you all holding up?
I figure since we cannot leave home, might as well bring my travels to you in the form of virtual reality. What do you think? Want to come?
For upcoming summer getaways, why not consider La Montérégie?
Walt Disney World is constantly evolving, bringing us new attractions, festivals and dining experiences. If you, like many Canadians, are planning a trip to the happiest place on earth during March Break, here are some things not to be missed!
Daniela, you already know by now that my favourite type of trip is on a cruise ship. So let me share another fantastic “Port of Call” that I recently had the opportunity to visit, Dubrovnik, Croatia.
Daniela, another not-to-be-missed attraction when visiting Croatia is by far the Plitvice National Park. After spending the day visiting Zagreb, we made the 2-hour road trip to Plitvička Jezera, a municipality in central Croatia. We arrived late afternoon, we had about 2 hours before sundown…
Daniela, after our day spent visiting Plitvice National Park, we were off to spend the evening and night at Opatija, a Croatian coastal town on the Adriatic Sea. This was such a wonderful “coup de coeur” as it exceeded all my expectations. We were a little disappointed that we could not stay…
With 25 Walt Disney World resorts to choose from, it can seem like a daunting task to pick the one that suits your family best. My family and I travel to Disney at least once a year and have stayed at several resorts. We also have our favourite that we consider our “home resort” (more on tha…

Daniela, as you know, since I’m retired, I have the privilege of travelling around the world, either on road trips or on cruise ships. Well, for this series of articles, I would like to share a very special travel experience.
Park Jean-Drapeau is excited to invite everyone to come play outside and try out several new and improved activities at the 37th edition of the Fête des neiges de Montréal. It is on the Park's new event playground called Espace 67!! WOW!
Standing in the aisle: When you are boarding and you are trying to put your bag up in the overhead bin, PLEASE PLEASE sit down in your seat as quickly as possible! It is FRUSTRATING for everyone behind you. I mean, WHY should they stand in the aisle waiting/watching you rummage in your bags!…
I know I’ve written about this in past posts, however, I feel it necessary to rewrite and remind everyone about airplane etiquette... once again!
As of mid December 2019, we travellers will be able to claim compensation if our flight was delayed more than three hours or has been cancelled. This is according to the (CAPPR) Canadian Air Passenger Protection Regulations.
Aruba known as THE HAPPY ISLAND – and it truly truly is.
Rhodes, is an island in Greece located in the eastern Aegean Sea, and is the largest urban centre on the island. Rhodes is located northeast of Crete and southeast of Athens.
Nafplion is a small seaport town located on the Peloponnesian Peninsula, a geographic region southwest of Athens. At this port of call, the cruise ships do not dock in port. The ship drops anchor a short distance away and small boats, usually the emergency lifeboats on the ship, called tende…
Daniela, a very popular port of call when island hopping in Greece is by far Santorini. It is one of 220 islands of the Cyclades, located southeast of the mainland in the Aegean Sea. Santorini was devastated by a volcanic eruption in the 16th century BC, forever shaping its rugged landscape.…
Daniela, I am concluding this series with the city of Athens. One cannot miss out on visiting the capital and the largest city of Greece. It is also one of the world’s oldest cities with a rich historical past, dating from 5th century BC.
Mykonos is an island located in the Cyclades group, in the Aegean Sea, lying between Tinos, Syros, Paros and Naxos, southeast of mainland Greece. It is well known for its vibrant nightlife, but as this was a port of call during our cruise, we decided to visit during the day.
Heraklion is a port city and the capital of the Greek island of Crete. It is located on the eastern side of Crete and one of Greece’s major urban centers.
Located off the far northwest coast of Greece, Corfu lies in the Adriatic Sea, east of Italy and southwest of Albania. The cruise ship port on this island is located within walking distance of the old town of Corfu.
Hey Daniela, here are more adventures to share with your Travel Mongers…
Daniela, so our adventures continued in the Magdalen Islands. We were very lucky during our stay weather-wise - lots of sunshine to enjoy the stunning scenery all around us.
Daniela, I recently had the opportunity to travel to the Magdalen Islands on a bus tour. What an amazing trip! It was my first time visiting the archipelago and it exceeded all of my expectations.
The Grand Château Hotel Group is embarking on major projects for its Sheraton Laval hotel for the next two years.
Cosenza (Cosentina) is a city in Calabria, Italy and its capital. The city centre has a population of approx. 70,000 - this, my travel mongers, is where I was born. So, needless to say, it is close to my heart! Let me tell you more about this wonderful place (yes I will admit i: I am bias!).
Campobasso is a city and province located in the not-too-southern part of Italy. The capital of the region is Molise, which is located in the high basins of the Biferno River surrounded by Sannio and the Matese mountains. This place is renowned for the craftsmanship of blades (scissors and k…

As I mentioned to you in last week’s post, we where privileged to visit the three out of four regions.
When I went to Switzerland, I was privileged to visit three out of four regions: St. Moritz in the Grisons with the Romantch, Andermatt/Interlaken with the Swiss German, and Lausanne with the French. Unfortunately, we were not able to visit the Italian part of Switzerland due to time constraints.
So, the last two weeks I shared with you travel apps that I discovered during my travel adventures. Here is the third instalment I will share and it will be the last one - only because it truly ever ends. It is indeed constantly evolving.
