Catching Up With Videos – 2024 Canada Cruise
After a load of travel in the second half of 2024, I’m happily back to work in 2025 with some smaller journeys planned for later this summer. The break has given me a chance to catch up a bit with videos from last year. First up: a 10-minute video from my cruise to New England…
Wed Sep 25th: Wrapping Up with my First Visit to Quebec City
All good cruises must come to an end, and this one ended today in Quebec City. Despite spending four years of college 20 miles from the Quebec border with New York, I’d never made it to this city. (Montreal was only an hour away and provided baseball, hockey, and bars where a 17-year old could…
Tue Sep 24th: Sailing the Saguenay River
Definitely encountered autumn today in Quebec’s Saguenay River region! Woke up this morning to an amazing view of the Saguenay River fjords as we sailed inland towards La Baie. Once docked, I took an excursion to see Chicoutimi, the largest district within the greater Saguenay region. I knew of Chicoutimi as the place at the…
Mon Sep 23rd: Sea Day and PEI Yesterday
Greetings from a sea day along the mouth of the St Lawrence River! We’re currently sailing along Quebec’s Gaspé Peninsula, heading toward a cruise up the Saguenay River tomorrow. Yesterday was a fun visit to Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. In one of those travel coincidences, my coworker Lois and her husband were vacationing in Charlottetown…

After a sea day spent sailing along the southern coast of Nova Scotia, we arrived at Sydney on the province’s northern end: Cape Breton Island. Cape Breton is where Scottish first settled in the mid 1700s, finding a…
Thu Sept 19th: Exploring Portland, Maine
Good morning from a sea day off the southern coast of Nova Scotia! Overcast and a bit wavy, we’ll be spending the day sailing along this coast before arriving at the north end of Nova Scotia and the port of Sydney tomorrow. Spent a fun day yesterday exploring the city of Portland. I’d never been…
Wed Sept 18th: On My Way Aboard the Norwegian Joy
Good afternoon from a brief port stop in Boston! The fall cruise to Canada is underway, with an amazing departure from New York yesterday I’d never cruised from New York so it was an amazing opportunity to see my hometown from another vantage point. Was very excited to sail under my favorite bridge since childhood,…
Tue Sept 17th: On The Road (And Sea) Again
After a couple of weeks back from Europe (and 10 days spent getting over a post-Europe cold), the bag has been packed again. Greetings from Long Island! Spent the weekend visiting family and friends and enjoying the beautiful early-fall weather. Tomorrow, I’ll be heading out on a new cruise: Very excited to sail from NYC…
