The Geezers are on the move again!This trip is not nearly as long, or extensive, as the one in 2010 when we set ourselves the challenge to travel for almost SEVEN months on less than $100/day. And we achieved our goal, too, coming in at much less than ...
Starting With the Anchor of Our Trip To be honest, we started planning this adventure, on kind of a whim, almost a year ago. Geoff is always scanning upcoming cruises on the iCruise app on his iPad or checking the emails we receive on a regular basis from Vacations To Go and the various cruise… Read…
There are ways to make money online without a website but I don’t do any of them so I won’t be writing about them. We do, however have several websites so that is the topic of this post. Hosting Everything you see online is just a digital file, same as you have on your own… Read…
OK, time to get down to some serious work. Do what you enjoy Working online has many benefits but it is still a job. It doesn't make any more sense to do something you don't like online than it does in the real world. It really doesn't matter ho ...

Wherever we travel we always have access… Read…

We loved Smokey for sixteen years and we have missed him every day since August 4th, 2004.
Our Canadian home is located at the Northern most point of Lake Superior.
We bought our winter home twenty years ago when Geoff was working as a programmer for a company in California. I guess we were digital nomads before there was such a thing.
It’s boarding day! There was no rush to get to the port, so we took our time with breakfast and getting re-packed. The hotel called us a cab and the fare to the cruise port was $25.00. While waiting for our cab we met several other people who we ...
It seems that we didn’t do a great job of keeping notes on this trip. Don’t know why, but it seems like we really dropped the ball. However, we’ll try to come up with as much information as possible. In this post we’re going to be getting from our home in Northern Ontario to San… Read…
We were hoping to have another Mega Trip in 2018. After all, the last one was in 2014 and we were longing for another extended trip. Sadly, it was not to be for 2018. But that didn’t stop us from planning a shorter trip - complete with a TransAtlantic ...
On January 2nd, we sent an email to Costa Cruise Lines after discovering that they had written DIRECTLY on the fabric of garments we sent for laundering, just prior to leaving the ship. It has now been a week and the only response we have received so far ...
A Year Ago Today This is my rant from a year ago today (September 24, 2014) about how most Europeans seem to treat their countries like an ashtray and a urinal. We encountered this behavior mostly in France, Spain and Italy. Note: There are No Pict ...
A Year Ago Today A year ago today, August 12, 2014, we took our first European train ride from Paris to Lyon and got to visit some dear friends. Leaving Paris We got up at a reasonable hour but didn't feel the need to rush as our train wasn't lea ...
