“Christmas at Home” by N&J.
Vancouver, BC (Dec 20/14) – Almost 2 months since N&J returned from their roadtrip… Life at home is hectic compared to living on the road in Hobbes. Certainly enjoying the facilities though… especially the shower when you want it. But life in a Westfalia camper van is very blissful, little to worry about (where is the next free WiFi ?), everything you have & need is contained within the van… and life on the road is filled with the most amazing people you meet along the way. click on pic to enlarge – right/left arrow to scroll thru the gallery Re-adjusting to life at home has been fun too.

“A New Year, A New Decade” by N&J
Whistler, BC (Jan 16/20) – Christmas 2019 has come & gone… in a blink of an eye (Where does the time go?). N&J enjoyed a busy holiday season hosting out-of-town family & friends in Whistler, the usual winter was a no-show for the most part during the festivities, but finally it has arrived with vengeance (almost 2 metres of snow in the last 2 weeks). Just in time for skiing, sledding & strolling in ‘Winter Wonderland’. click on pic to enlarge – right/left arrow to scroll thru the gallery After a wonderful year of travel & experience for the trio, it is with great anticipation that the new year will…

“Tis’ the Season to be…” by N&J
Whistler, BC (Dec 25/20) – Jolly??? After all that has transpired in 2020, what is there to be jolly about? Considering the billions who have been touched by Covid-19 and how it has impacted our World, the millions who were sickened & of course the almost 2 million who have lost their lives… ‘jolly’ does NOT readily come to mind…. Fortunately for those of us who live in what is probably the ‘best country’ in the world (although not perfect, it is close in comparison), it is certainly a blessing to be here. Canada, so vast, open and beautiful. The small things in life have now come in to the…

“Happy Christmas 2021” by N&J
Whistler, BC (Dec 25/2021) – Well almost another year has passed, another year of abbreviated ‘pandemic’ travel and gatherings. Tough times bring tough choices, but considering the plight of many others who are less fortunate than those of us who live here (whether that be in the Village of Whistler, in the Province of British Columbia, in our Canada) …we are all truly blessed. click on pic to enlarge – right/left arrow to scroll thru the gallery Christmas time is always a special place in Whistler, surrounded by mountains coated in snow, frozen lakes. clear star-filled skies & a village loaded with the seasonal spirit. N&J have decided to forgo…

“Ho Ho Ho !!!” by N&J
Whistler, BC (Dec 24/22) – It has been quite the year of travel & experience for N&J (and Jesse). Getting back in the saddle after the past few years of Covid, although it is not exactly gone <sigh>, has been both exciting & nerve-wracking… to say the least. “To wear or not to wear a mask, that is the question”. Since the upgrade of HOBBES to a 4×4 (Syncro) with its improved reliability to travel on backroads, has become a pleasure to explore new horizons… so much more to see when you leave the paved road behind. Jesse’s health challenges of the past year (urinary blockages) seem to have stabilized,…
