Looks like I just squeaked in to St. John’s between winter storms! Another squall is expected to arrive today and last a few days. https://ntv.ca/rainfall-snowfall-and-wind-warnings-are-in-effect-ahead-of-another-slow-moving-winter-storm/ But I’m enjoying the comfort of my cute apartment on this chilly morning. From the awesome window seat I can...

I walked to a grocery store to get provisions. Some views along the way… And now it’s a chilly, well downright cold evening in St. John’s. But the view is super sweet!

Here’s my little apartment in St. John’s…

A few days later than planned, I finally arrived in St. John’s! It was easy to see why the airport had closed for the storm. March 8 was the snowiest day on record! https://www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weather/forecasts/newfoundland-winter-storm-buries-previous-march-snowfall-record-for-st-johns I took a taxi into town and was dropped off at...

I took the hotel shuttle back to the Halifax airport at 11:00am with hopes that my flight would finally happen. 😬 And voila! The flight was on! While waiting to board, I met some friendly Newfoundlanders in the airport and got some more recommendations. They...

Didn’t think I’d spend any real time in NS but here I am, in the land of Trailer Park Boys. Actually, just Halifax and since the Halifax airport is well outside the city I’m just at a generic airport hotel for the night. I walked...

BOS to YHZ I’m on flight AC8664 in seat 4F. It’s been a long time since I flew on a prop plane! But I’ll be danged if that de Havilland Dash 8-400 turbo prop didn’t zoom down the runway and lift off like a jet....

Arrived in BOS on time and no worse for the wear, though it was a turbulent flight. Turned my phone back on from airplane mode and a text appears: «John Kelly, we’re very sorry, flight PB2256 to St. John’s(YYT) was cancelled because of airport restrictions....

Two days later than initially planned, I left for NL on American Airlines to Boston at 9:07 am, Saturday March 9. Despite not sleeping much at all last night, and then somehow sleeping past the alarm (!), I arrived at the airport on time. Then,...

It’s Christmas time 2023 and I hope all who read this have a wonderful and peaceful holiday.

Walked under beautiful skies to El Morro on the extreme western end of the Old San Juan peninsula.

Merry Christmas to all! I feel like this year is ending well after a series of shitty years. I hope you share my sentiment of hope and enjoy a wonderful holiday!

Puerto Rico is truly un isla de encantos! It offers a natural and welcoming spirit and vibe that is easy to enjoy. I like sitting at the small bluff overlooking the beach and ocean waves. Mesmerizing… I had been seeing tons of coconuts all along...
