As we wrapped out our to Halifax in last year in May, MY said, “We have to do this every year,” more so to herself because – who can enforce that on others? This year in May, we went on a cruise so I planned for a summer trip. The flight prices are at the…

May 2022 family reunion Halifax trip
After being grounded since February 2020 – longer for NPY and Kiddo – we head to Halifax in mid-May with my sister and her family. The timing of late May was to catch lower fares and maybe we would have something to celebrate that was getting closer to the due diligence for a potential sale…
Halifax 2019 Travel Journal
Flight – Thursday, November 14 It’s like I can’t really win when it comes to flights. For the longer flight from Vancouver to Toronto/Montreal/Ottawa, I wanted to be on an aircraft with a bassinet option. For some insane reason, I wanted to head out in the morning and it’s in part because getting into Halifax…
East coast adventures with the kid, Summer 2018 Edition
I’m not sure what I’m waiting for exactly. A huge stretch of free time on a weekend afternoon? Hah. Not being exhausted one evening and blog away the night? When I am still awake after 10 p.m., I’m doing a whole laundry list of other things, usually household-related. A pocket of free time at work?…
Food finds on my Toronto and Halifax Adventure 2016
Five months ago, I visited Toronto and Halifax with E who was then four months and what a world of difference it is to travel with him again. (The flights are another matter altogether, not to be addressed here.) Sunrise House [Yelp] Ahh, one of the the many pleasures of visiting Toronto. My sister asks…
Dineout Recaps: Christmas week in Halifax
I’m back in Halifax for a record third time in a year (I don’t think I’ve done that since ’08) and this Christmas trip is the duration of the other two trips combined. Except, it’s Christmas which means besides obligation and tradition to eat family dinner at home, restaurants on this sleepy coast aren’t open…
Big ole post about Halifax
Just before my 16K run, the thought of which made me feel unpleasantly nauseated, I checked-in on Foursquare to the Running Room on Spring Garden and simultaneously tweeted, “Wherever you go in Canada you can drop in on Wednesdays and Sundays for a group run!” I’m such a fangirl but also pre-emptively impressed that my…
Hadabesac. Don’t get fooled today!
We were talking about April Fool’s pranks over lunch yesterday and the only one from my past that I can remember was one propagated by a local radio station. It was probably c100 with their zany (read: annoying) morning team. There is (until this post) only one Google result for “Hadabesac” and for a moment…
The Grammar School
When asked, I like to tell people that from primary to grade 8, I attended “The Convent” (it became a Sacred Heart School). And from grade 9 to graduation, I attended a grammar school. Because, you know, in the real world where private school alum are swamped by former public school kids, you have to…
Snowed In
Although there’s a temporary break today, it’s been snowing seemingly non-stop in Vancouver and it’s wonderful. It’s the light fluffy type of snow and the depth accumulated at NPY’s walkway is one foot! It has also brought upon me some nail-biting agitation about the state of my flight(s) home starting at 11:59 p.m. on the…
