A few years ago I had the incredible opportunity to spend 6 nights on a wooden river boat deep in the heart of the Amazon Jungle. This trip is definitely one of the most amazing trips I have ever taken. We sailed so far up the tributary rivers that only locals were present, no other tourists.

In August 2018 my son Sam & I had the opportunity to spend some time in Berlin, Germany.

Point Peele National Park is the most southern tip in Canada. It is located in southwestern Ontario, south of the town of Leamington. It is a densely forested area with large maple & oak trees.

In May 2016 I had the honour of hosting the Edmonton Transit Pipe & Drum Band along with the Ponoka Royal Canadian Legion on a European War Memorial Tour of Holland, Belgium and France. My teenage son Sam was allowed to accompany me on the tour. The photo of us was taken at Normandy, France.

In May 2018 my son Sam & I boarded a high-speed train in St. Petersburg, Russia bound for Moscow. To say we were a bit nervous but excited at the same time was an understatement. It was hard to comprehend that we were actually in Russia traveling across the vast countryside.
