Travel Never Ends

Our flight from Toronto to Mexico City was uneventful, as you want a flight to be! We arrived a few minutes ahead of schedule, and we were fast getting through immigration. Passports are now electronically scanned at Mexico City airport, and travelers from Canada, the U.S., and Europe don’t even speak to an immigration officer…

(Writing this from the lounge at Toronto airport while waiting for our flight to Mexico City). We went for lunch at my older sisters place on Sunday. There are not many relatives left in Ottawa! Just my mom, my older sister, and my nephew. It was our last day in Ottawa, and good thing! It’s…

It was exactly three years ago that we bought a new Honor Magic 5 Pro phone and ditched the standard size camera so that we no longer had to carry it around. Totally happy with that decision, because the Honor Magic 5 Pro had the best built in camera system going at the time. That…

Something like hot air ballooning, we have always wanted to see a Cirque de Soleil show, but for one reason or another we simply never had. Until now. We bought mid range tickets, at $115 CAD ($81 USD) each, and they turned out to be just fine. We were eight rows from the front, but…

We are definitely ready to get going. It’s starting to get cooler here in Ottawa, Canada. Forecast for tomorrow is a high of 17C (63F) and a low of 4C (39F). So we’re anxious to get out of here! Three more sleeps and we’re on the plane to Mexico City. But, we’ve been having a…

At the end of last month, when I did August expenses, I had forecast that September was going to be another expensive month… and I thought it would come in at around $6,800 CAD. But we beat that handily! We were over in just about every category. In total, we spent $8,292 CAD ($5,825 USD).…

We were on the road early Saturday morning, heading up to the village of Manotick to visit with our friend Barb. Her husband John was out with a friend on a motorcycle trip, so it was just her. This is the couple whose wedding we went to in Ireland three and a half years ago.…

We’ve never been to see Cirque de Soleil. And I noticed the other day that they are here in Ottawa doing a show “under the big top” while we’re here. So we talked about it, and decided to go. The cheapest tickets are about $60 CAD ($42 USD) per person but we don’t see the…

Well, we have several plans! The first one regards this new website. Some of you will have noticed that you couldn’t access it when we first announced it, but by now your internet provider or security system has now recognized that this website has no issues. And obviously if you’re reading this, then you’re in!…

Welcome to the new Travel with Kevin and Ruth!
