Kicking it with Kiki
A few days ago I selected the ‘publish’ button on this post. But you didn’t see it, did you? That’s because, for some reason (operator error!) it didn’t publish. And I’m glad. A few hours after thinking it had published, I wished I had written it differently. Sometimes the Universe and I are on the…

Changing the flow
At the moment I am resisting everything that tells me I must do. The stack of papers on my kitchen bench that indicates I must do some filing, the leaves outside the front door that show me I must do some sweeping, the plants in the garden that look at me to re-pot them, the…

We’re not in Kansas anymore.
We arrived home nearly a week ago already. Where does the time go? Our most recent trip was right here in Australia, my favourite place to travel. This time we were being tour guides to friends who came here for the first time. Aside from seeing a bit of the country, they wanted to see…

The Twist in the Tale of Whistler
My intention was never to be a travel writer, and yet, here I am, having been doing so for weeks. I hope I haven’t strained our friendship. I have many other things to tell you and we must get on with it! Nevertheless, I think you might enjoy this one last little story from our…

The Vancouver Vibe
At the end of a trip it can be hard to ‘gee’ oneself up for the final few days or destination. So it was for me after we left Ohio and headed to Vancouver. It took me a couple of days to catch on to the ‘vibe’ of the place. It is not a huge…

Pollywog Point
I am writing to you from Pollywog Point… well, it is five minutes walk from here, but close enough, and I love to say it…Pollywog Point. It evokes all kinds of vague images from childhood, catching tadpoles and toads and skipping rocks in Poplar Creek in Ohio. But Pollywog Point is in Florida. It is…

Handa Island
What a nuisance for you, I have wireless service again so here are more of our travel tales… Our last day of walking and eating in the Scottish Highlands was very memorable. We decided to have a look at the island of Handa, off the coast of Scourie. Handa is known for the wildlife and…

The Ben Loyal Hotel
I have learned to dry my hair without the aid of a mirror and to apply makeup with only the light from a window 10 feet away. It is an amazingly difficult thing to find a hotel or B&B room with these amenities, it seems. However we have still very much enjoyed most of the…

Aberdeen to Inverness
(Apologies to those trying to make sense of our travels. I have managed to get my goings and comings from Inverness, inverted! This post should have come before the last one. The Internet connections on this trip have been very challenging for me, can I use that excuse? I hope you enjoy it nevertheless) Yesterday…

Brora to Tongue
The problem with not having time to write each day as we finish the day’s activities is that I forget! Thank goodness for all the photos I take to remind me of what I’ve seen. I have a terrible memory when so much is happening every day and I think that is one reason why…
