Lunch with Yulia

Lunch with our landlady was a nice experience. She lives outside the city of Moscow. Its about a 30 minute drive. You have to drive to a place called "Luxury Village". This was not my first time visiting "luxury village". I had the unusual experience before Christmas of teaching an Oligarch's son near where our landlady lives in Luxury Village.

Yulia (Julia) lives in one of the many gated private villages that seem to be common here in and around Moscow. We have gated communities in Britain, but they are few and far between. I would not mind living in one, if I could afford it, they are safer and cleaner than regular housing estates.

Tent Color Considerations

I have never given tent color much thought when purchasing a new tent. Unlike buying a pair of pants, there aren?t color options when selecting a particular tent model. However, there is a lot of thought that goes into the selection of a tent color by the manufacturer. This is from Oware, who makes [...]

Quinzees

A quinzee (also quinhzee) is a combination of an igloo and a snow cave. Quinzees are suitable in marginal snow conditions, or when a crust is not available for igloos, or when there is not enough deep packed snow for a snow cave. On the flip side a quinzee won?t last an entire winter [...]

Resolved Question: Camping tents!!! NEED GOOD ONE?

ok so i went with the Kelty Corona 30 Degree Camping Double Sleeping Bag now i need a good tent, one that will stand against rain and not leav me in a puddle like my last tent..... no seriously at 3 am i woke to find my but submurged in water.. decided to ignore it and by the time i woke up i might as well have slept in the near by stream....

my point is i i want a tent good enough for at LEAST 2 people that will keep bugs and rain out.. and iam trying to find one at a good price, i really dont want to spend more than 150$, but i will if i have to
lol thx alot guys i have looked at quite a few tents that you have recomended and now its just about choosing, but i found out what i wanted, and as for the sleeping bag

the reason i went with the one i did was beacuse iam not alone (hint hint) and its not going to get to much colder and i can always grab more blankets, but i have already choosen a sleeping bag llike the one mentioned that goes below 0, for when i do go hiking

thx again every one

August 2010

(I was wrong - most of this actually happened in July. Sorry)

My mother was hosting a number of relatives over the summer, but one week had a particlularly large confluence - my Aunt from Ontario and two of my Dad's cousins (and their wives). How do you help out? Come over and visit at the same time!

Botanical Beach

Botanical Beach is one of my favorite places. I've been to Botanical Beach for day trips and I've also stayed in near by Port Renfrew for a May Long Weekend. How is botanical beach with a 6 week old baby? The walk down to the beach was fine (we use a soft carrier) but the baby doesn't like sunlight (you can't put sun screen on a new born and they do burn easily). There was lots of good cover by the side of the beach so we took turns with the baby.

There are at least two different modes for exploring Botanical Beach - either the taster plate tour or the in depth look. For people new to Botanical Beach you want to see everything. If you have been here before, you start to look for details that are different.

Mount Maxwell

My Mom's tour of the local sights includes a day trip to Salt Spring Island to see the farmers market. For lunch we decided to do a picnic at Mount Maxwell - where I proposed to Helen

There is a fantastic view up here but of course we ruined it by putting people in front.

Lion King

My Parents and Grandparents had tickets to see Lion King! Of course they can't come to town and not see the Baby. Their show started at 7:30 pm and we got their hotel about an hour before they had to leave. Nara was initially sleeping but with enough handling she eventually came around and said hello to everyone!

Do something useful with your spring break

Natural disasters like the earthquake and tsunami in Japan have a way of focusing our attention on volunteerism and community. Volunteer-oriented vacations -- call them a alternative spring breaks or service travel -- are becoming more and more popular as people look for a more significant (but still fun) ways to spend their time on a worthy cause. This spring break, instead of partying on a beach or sightseeing in Europe, put yourself to good use.  Below we recommend some fun, charitable and even inexpensive ideas for people of all ages.
