Andy's travels

[...] Ridiculous is probably the word that coms to mind... Yes ridiculous. For me and Las Vegas. Flying in, just about to land, the las vegans strip appeared out of nowhere. The hotels stuck [...]

[...] neon running shorts.  I hopped on the next express bus and made my way up to the real Las Vegas, Freemont Street. If you thought south Vegas was nuts, this is even crazier. Women dancing on [...]

Wow. Because this place is ridiculous 24/7, it's only appropriate to overhear and see ridiculous things. See where I'm going with this? One of my fa [...]

[...] What an awesome city! Perfectly nestled in a beautiful valley, Salt Lake City is surrounded by amazing mountains, big but small city atmosphere, and a massive (and yes [...]

Yuck, another bus. Another early morning. Rick dropped me off at the fancy Greyhound station Wednesday morning. Crazy to think that I had only booked [...]

[...] all set and ready to embark on my next journey. Are you ready for it.... Going to Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, Zion national park, The Grand Canyon and Phoenix. Pretty random trip, yes. What's even more [...]

2 bottles of wine, 4 beers, 4 burgers (one of which had a grill cheese sandwich attached to it) and 6 tacos later, day 1 is complete. Let me explain. [...]

Time for more tourist things! After a bit of a sleep in, we made our way down to the Fisherman's Wharf area to grab some bikes and explore the city. [...]

So I might have spent ton of money. With three premium outlets within an hour of San Fran..how could you NOT go shopping? We woke up super early (eve [...]

Napa Valley here we come! Because parking is crazy (and cards are frequently broken into) we found an awesome loophole in the car rental situation. We [...]

[...] is massive and is open 7 days a week! Also cheaper than the grocery store. Of course a trip to Quebec wouldn't be compete without visiting a dollarama for snacks and [...]

[...] after passing through Virgin... where we just had an amazing time. Once again, we stopped in a grocery store to admire the low prices and large quantities of products. It didn't stop there. We grabbed [...]

[...] and we have only been hanging out for 30 minutes at this point.  A quick atop at the grocery store yielded us many laughs. First of all, they sell food and drug here. That's all.  We found [...]

Time to explore. How excited AND stressed are we. We woke up early this morning as the wonderful state of Utah subjects travellers to an infamous lott [...]

One more day, one more attempt at getting a wave hiking permit, one more rejection. It was crazy busy in the permit office today and 60 applications w [...]

[...] . We popped into the visitors centre and to our luck, we obtained a hiking pass for the subway hike. There were only 4 left. Luckyducky.  The park doesn't allow you to drive to the various [...]

[...] the third pull as the third group had 6 people.  We hopped into the car and zoomed to our subway hike in Zion park. But first, we had to make a quick stop in Colorado city and take a picture in [...]

[...] around Halifax and see (and eat at) all the sights.  Our day started off with taking a bus downtown.... Which lasted all of 8 minutes. Very fancy. While waiting, we came across these random gems [...]
