We’ve told you about the hardships we encountered during our travels through Sri Lanka and one of the many accommodation hiccups we encountered was in Kalpitiya. We were driving back to Colombo from Jaffna and decided to stop for the night and most of the hotels were booked up which is how we ended up […]
This past December, in the 8th year of our marriage, Yashy and I were finally able to return to Sri Lanka, the island where Yashy was born and we were married in 2009. During my two prior visits, I did not have the chance to travel outside of Colombo, Sri Lanka’s largest city. On our first […]
Lounging by picturesque Sri Lankan beaches was high on my list of things to do but given the hectic 10 day Sri Lankan road trip I had planned, we only managed to enjoy the beach on a few occasions. One of the most relaxing beach sessions took place at the Nilaveli Beach Resort located near Trincomalee. When […]
Sri Lanka is known for tea and while everyone around me drank tea as I grew up, I never picked up the habit. I’m that rare person who needs neither tea nor coffee to kick off my day but over the last year I’ve come to appreciate a cup of flavoured tea before bed. I […]
One of the things I was most excited about as we planned our trip to Sri Lanka was the chance to explore some uncharted territories – mainly the North of the country. While my dad grew up in Colombo, most of his family is from Jaffna, and he not only went to school there for […]
While we were on our romantic getaway exploring the Outaouais region, my parents took the kids for their own little holiday and as you know, we’re huge fans of grandparents being hands on! While Baby Boy and Little Monkey were more than happy to spend the entire weekend roaming around my parent’s Niagara on the Lake […]
Travelling through Asia with kids takes some extra effort and as with all our trips, I had a bit of an agenda I wanted to follow so that we didn’t end up lollygagging in places and totally “wasting” our vacation days. Prior to leaving Toronto I received the Eyewitness Travel Sri Lanka guide and while […]
Our eleven days of driving through Sri Lanka comes to a speedy end tonight, and we’re gearing up for our loooong flight back home to Toronto. I was born in Sri Lanka, and the hubs and I got married here as well, but this trip is the first time we explored Sri Lanka outside of […]
When we heard that a family wedding was taking place on the western side of Newfoundland the hub’s dad insisted that we all head to Gros Morne as he had been waiting for an excuse to venture that way. As you know I’m always one to say yes to new adventures and so, despite thinking that […]
We visited Newfoundland this past August and as many may know, July/August is pretty much the best month to visit the Island. Having been to St. Johns in the middle of winter, I was very excited to head back during the summer months and best of all, the hubs’ entire extended family was there to […]
