July 26, 2022 After breakfast on Sunday, we set off for Montreal’s Little Italy…specifically the Jean Talon market. (When I say ”set off” – of course I mean we called an Uber.) This wonderful indoor/outdoor market space is open seven days a week. We tried three times to practice our selfie skills with the colorful...

July 24,2022 We had so much fun yesterday, luckily (for you) I only have time to give you the Reader’s Digest version. I think I’ve mentioned (every day) how happy it makes me to begin each day with the ducks in the garden. We’ve been so fortunate with the weather…still low 80s and no real...

July22, 2022 Among the many joys of traveling with Timmy are long relaxed breakfasts. These breakfasts here at the Ritz Carlton have been an absolute joy. Watching the ducks and fellow guests, chatting with our servers and enjoying cappuccino and fresh berries are the perfect way to start our day. I’m grateful that I no...

Over the years, we have celebrated our anniversary with family, with old friends, with new friends and just the two of us. This year we enjoyed an absolutely wonderful evening at Milos Restaurant.

As we walked through the main restaurant out to the garden terrace we were greeted by the sight of seven Pekin ducks swimming in a small pond. Such a happy surprise!...

For about thirty seconds we thought of going back to Paris to celebrate our anniversary. I’m so glad we decided to stay closer to home and return to Montreal – we last visited this lovely city in 2009 for just four days and have been wanting a second, longer look ever since. The flight from...

I used to dread flying out of LaGuardia … the whole getting here…locating the terminal…the lines…etc. But this trip, so far, so good. Because we couldn’t be sure what time the cat sitters would arrive, we opted to drive to the airport hotel and forego the car service. We left the house around 5:00 pm...

July 18,2022 We are waiting for our house-sitters to arrive before we depart for an overnight at the Aloft hotel at Laguardia airport. Although we don’t fly until 1:40 pm tomorrow, I always feel best when we spend the night before at the airport. It’s been a while since I’ve posted here so I thought...
