Canada
Going Over, Over the Border.
We mentioned previously that over Memorial Day weekend my sister Andi and I took a little brother-sister road trip to Toronto. The trip went without a hitch… well, almost. I’ve gotten in the habit of using Apple Maps for directions (I used to be an avid user of actual paper maps) and she piloted me […]
A Little Road Trip With My Little Sis
This weekend I took a Memorial Day trip to Toronto with my favorite little sister and assistant Andrea. She was a little disappointed that you don’t get a stamp when you drive into Canada; you only get a passport stamp when you fly in. The trip from Pittsburgh only took 5 1/2 hours. We did find out […]

The PATH has 1,200 shops and restaurants and an array of business services. It connects more than 50 buildings and office […]
A History of Our Adventures for All to See
An eight hour weekend drive just to get a patch. The little blue back pack with the flag patches is a constant companion on each of our trips. The little bag is not only practical for keeping travel necessities like kindles, snacks, and hand wipes but, your pricey electronics, like your new digital SLR. A […]
