Inspiration Through the Eyes of Two Travelers
Blog: Canada's Adventure Couple - 1 July 2009
Dave and I often discuss this idea. Who "up there" decides who will be born in luxury and who will be born in poverty. When we were in Cambodia, we had a hard time accepting ourselves and felt guilty for being who we are. The world is not a fair place and travel opens our eyes to it on a very real and deep level.

Day 2 - Turkey v. Germany
Blog: Hello, Pineapple? - 19 June 2009
It was day one of a three day felucca sail down the Nile. We were heading north out of Aswan, Egypt, toward Luxor with eight other travellers and a crew of three Nubian boatmen. Ahmed, our constantly-stoned-on-hashish 'driver', steered the boat slowly from one bank to the other as we were carried upriver by the surprisingly strong current. A persistent headwind slowed our efforts and we were not making very good time. Luckily, we were not in a hurry. I had my portable guitar along for the trip and serenaded the group for hours with some sweet little finger-picked melodies.

Favorite Food From Traveling the World, So Far
Blog: Canada's Adventure Couple - 19 June 2009

And when we discover new and delicious food, well, we are in heaven.

McArabia: McDonald’s in the Arab World
Blog: Everything Everywhere - 29 April 2009
Since I last wrote about McDonald’s when I was in Dubai, I’ve been in Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Egypt and Jordan. As all of the McDonald’s in the Arabian Peninsula are owned by the same company, there isn’t a whole lot to add to what I had to say about McDonald’s in Dubai. I [...]

Many thanks to Plan and everyone involved who sacrificed their holiday today to bring around to these destinations.

The White Desert of Egypt, Don’t Miss it!
Blog: Canada's Adventure Couple - 8 January 2008
About 2 weeks before we left Toronto, we read an article in Mountain Life Magazine about the White Desert in Egypt. It looked like a fascinating place and we decided that we have to go there. Our bike route however, didn’t go near the place because it is situated in the centre of the country.
