An Open Letter to Carnival
I was born mere footsteps from the ocean. No matter where I go, where my feet find their footing, or where my existence is found, I know that I am a child of the sea. I gravitate towards the water in ways only found in men lost in desert sands, clawing through grains for a single drop to ease their scorched throats. I magnetize to the sea, I am drawn to it in ways that confound me. That is why I feel betrayed by what you represent in this world.

The Poisoned City - Back and Better Than Ever!. Third Place in Locals Only Challenge.
If you haven’t heard of my hometown, then I’m not surprised. However, if you have heard about this city then it is probably for one (pretty grim) reason: the Novichok attack.

Monkey Cave and Temple
In Phang Nga just North of Phuket is a very interesting place. Here you can hand feed monkeys at your discretion and also tour a temple that is inside a large cave in a mountain side.

Niagara Speedway Clifton Hill
Ok I know what you're thinking. What does a race track in Niagara Falls Canada have to do with Phuket or Thailand? The name is Lovin' it on Phuket and Canada is literally on the other side of the world. Well I'm from Canada and I do spend time at home. When I am home I do stuff and things, I test my equipment and I drag my daughter Clair with me. If you think about it, I have some pretty good driving experiences to compare with the Niagara Speedway. So here's how it holds up compared to ripping around the west side of Phuket on a sports bike.

Khao Kheow Open Zoo Chonburi
The Khao Kheow Open Zoo is located in the Chonburi Province of Thailand. The zoo is home to a large variety of animals. Unlike the name suggests most the animals are kept in pens and cages but by Thai standards the areas they are kept in are quite large. You will also see different species of monkeys, deer, lizards and a couple Bear Cats (Binturong) walking around and hanging out.

Christmas In Mexico
This year for our family Christmas (and my grandparents 55th wedding anniversary) we decided to take a Carnival cruise to Mexico. We had three stops and spent 4 days total on the ship, In this first installment of the cruise recap we will focus on the boat itself. As we were only it's second sailing I leave room for error, there were a few service complaints that, to be fair, happen here on dry land as well.

How My Retreat Experience in Phuket Changed My Life
Are you someone looking to travel to Thailand for holiday, but also thinking you might want to also incorporate some fitness activities, try out some new workshops, meet new people, and leave tropical paradise with more than just a nice tan? Perhaps the thought to attend a retreat popped up in your head for a while, but you’re thinking, what’s the true value you’ll be receiving from it?

I'm back with another hostel review! Now, just a disclaimer before I begin; it's been nearly two and a half years since I stayed at this hostel, so some things may have changed.
