And My Journey Thru' Breast Cancer
Just thought I would try and show everyone .. how downtown, Halifax looked like. So that everyone wouldn’t think the town i am in . .is the same as the city. Halifax is the city. . and Yarmouth is not. It is not vibrant.. nor does it have anything spectacular to show. Unlike a 4 hrs drive away.. in Halifax.. they have almost everything.. and hotels are aplenty. The hotels we have here.. in Y-Town.. well..i’ll have to say.. is nothing compared to home.. that’s for sure.
Sorry the picture is so dark. But this was taken during our trip to Halifax.. and the British Butcher is actually Pete’s Frootique, famous in the Maritimes. I love going there..when i am up in the city. They even have durian there..!!! not dodoh . .but the real deal. I buy the Jelly Tots. .that you can’t get from anywheres around Y-Town.. so i stock up.. when i go to the city.
If you ever visit Halifax or Nova Scotia .. the best time to visit is the summer. This was taken right outside the hotel we were staying in – Econolodge or now called Comfort Inn. It is located in Bedford about 15mins to the city. Halifax is really beautiful. I wished Yarmouth was so vibrant because if it is.. i’m sure the tourist will come. Everytime i go up the city.. i cannot help but envy those that can eat and drink.. and do all sorts wherelse in yarmouth, there is just absolutely nothing.
One of the best thing when I was on vacation in Las Vegas was the hotel in Vegas, they are not only affordable, they are also and luxurious. If you noticed the lobby area, they are one of the grandest lobby I have seen. In Vegas, one can have loads of fun.. not only as an adult.. there are stuff for kids to keep themselves occupied as well. So our next time to Vegas, we will definitely bring the lil’ brat along.
Wedding with a twist is what my girlfriend wanted, a breakaway from the normal routine everyday wedding. She want all attending her wedding … to not only celebrate with her.. but to have a mini vacation as well. I recommended the Pigeon Forge cabin rentals, where you not only get the privacy you want, yet get spectacular views of the mountains.. fresh air .. and all amenities that are better than a hotel.
I haven’t had Burger King for so long, I had almost forgotten how it tastes now. The very first meal we had .. for our trip up to the city on Sunday afternoon was at Burger King… at New Minas. I had a whopper meal .. but it was so- so .. nothing spectacular.. just plain old burger.. but i did like the onion rings, unfortunately it was very expensive for onion rings.. like 2 bucks for a packet of small ones.
We had a really good ride up to the city.. the roads were good .. and the sun was out. Uneventful.. but poor PB was really tired.. because the brat refuses to sleep the whole nite again.. but instead woke up a few times.. the nite before. She was ok.. overall during the ride.. but was quite loud and noisy at times. But we arrived safely .. and the brat is just thrilled to be in the hotel.
We are heading to Halifax today. . and won’t be back till late Monday nite or may even be Tuesday .. depending on how much we can get done this trip. Mainly it is for my immigration stuff. So there will be no updating.. or minimal.. for the next few days. Take care.. and donch miss me so much.. while i eat at my favourite Dharma Sushi for the first time in 4 yrs. We keep missing them.. because they have only lunch and dinner hours…! and closed on certain days. Wish me luck.. that i’ll get there.. before going home. Later….. folks.. !
Spring is when the weather in Canada starts to warm up .. and the snow starts to melt. After hibernating for a good 4 – 5 months because of winter, I can understand why the Canadians rush to go and take a break in the city or just unwind and bask in the sun by the pool.
With the move to the new location and finally settling down, this year we hope with the change of business hours at our store, we are planning for a Spring Break Getaway. Prince Edward Island or PEI is where we had planned to visit for the last few years but never got around to doing it.
I’ve good experiences and stayed with the Delta Hotels in both Halifax Barrington and Delta Chelsea before, therefore, this vacation, we will choose the Delta Hotel in Charlottetown too. Their family packages are awesome and my 4 yrs old toddler, don’t even have to pay for the food consume from the children’s menu. I would always choose the Delta Hotel because they were the only reservation department who was willing to accommodate and negotiate our room rate on an emergency trip up to Halifax.
Some people when they travel, they can stay in budget hotels.. and i do envy that. Unfortunately, for me, when i am on a vacation, I want to choose a place, where i can relax.. and feel at home with. Condo Hotels isn’t new to many travelers and the advantages of using one is aplenty. Amenities of a hotel but comfort of a home. Try it and you will know how comfortable it is.
