…it’s money…that is the new power. That is what China is doing. And maybe it’s about time. Did I mention one in five people on Earth are Chinese? China has more than 100 cities with more than 1 million residents? Depending what numbers you look at, the US has 9. Australia has 4. Canada has 4. You get the point. China is taking over the world and there isn’t a damn thing we can do to stop it. Note: This is not an endorsement for or against China an…

SnowDays in Alberta
January 18, 2016 by 3 Comments
Most of you probably know that Alberta, Canada is one of my favorite places in North America. Banff National Park is first and foremost along with the stunning beauty of Lake Louise. Obviously I cannot leave out Jasper, Edmonton or Calgary either as it’s an Alberta love affair! Meanwhile, Banff and Lake Louise are geared up for SnowDays, a nearly month-long festival that celebrates all things winter. SnowDays runs from January 15 to February 7 wi…

July 15, 2016 by 11 Comments
…the famous glacier that looks so pretty and sits right on the border with Canada. It calves right before your eyes, crackling like thunder, drawing oohs and aahs from cruise goers. It really is awesome. I couldn’t help but take 1000 photos. Luckily, we got to spend some real time there staring at Margerie Glacier. This was nice because you got to watch and more importantly to listen to the crackling and the calving. Basically like tiny little lan…

…take care of some business at home I headed up to Mont-Tremblant, Quebec, Canada.

April 7, 2017 by 3 Comments

Back in El Calafate, the town is passable as a tourist town with a bunch of tourist shops, a casino and mediocre restaurants. It’s easy to spend a day or two in El Calafate but beyond the glacier there isn’t much to keep you. I stayed at the America Del Sur hostel. Yes I am too old to stay in hostels but it was only one night and I had a privat…

…tour? Very few I’d imagine. I went on one once in Jasper National Park in Canada but it rained much of the trip so I didn’t really get a great experience. However, after my sidecar tour in Lisbon, I can think of no better way to see a city and I highly recommend it! The vintage sidecar picked my friend Dennis and I up at our hotel, the Four Seasons. We posed for a few pictures and then we were off to see Lisbon. The best thing about the tour wasn…
