It was exciting for Spice and I making travel plans for our 63-day round-the-world trip in the spring of 2015. But not so much fun making major decisions on insurance coverage. What if one of us got sick before we went? Or broke a leg hiking in Oman before we got to Bhutan or New […]| Latitude 65 - Jubilados Savouring the Journey
We didn’t say that. The Times did, this year. “Hippy-chic towns, sweeping surf beaches and the chance to fish among whales and sea lions—Vancouver Island is easily the country’s coolest wilderness,” The Times author, who visited independently, writes. We agree—and would go one step farther to say,” if you only visit one wild and wonderful […] The post “If you only visit one place in Canada, then make it here” appeared first on Latitude 65 - Jubilados Savouring the Journey.| Latitude 65 – Jubilados Savouring the Journey

On the Cabot Trail in Cape Breton Highlands National Park at the top of French Mountain is the Bog Trail, a fifteen-minute, wheelchair-accessible loop on a boardwalk. Yawning, are you? Not so fast—this place is fascinating—but now closed, to align with the Nova Scotia government’s closure of all trails effective August 6 to October 15, […] The post Bogged Down in Nova Scotia’s Cape Breton Highlands National Park appeared first on Latitude 65 - Jubilados Savouring the Journey.| Latitude 65 – Jubilados Savouring the Journey
Hengifoss, Iceland’s third-tallest waterfall, is one of the prettiest in the country. High praise given it’s competing with 10,000 others. In Eastern Iceland off gravel road 931, not on the “Golden Circle” that most tourists take, Hengifoss sees few visitors, a hundred thousand a year compared with two million who see Gullfoss. How does milking […] The post “As far as I know, I’m the only one in Iceland with a license to milk sheep” appeared first on Latitude 65 - Jubilados Sa...| Latitude 65 – Jubilados Savouring the Journey

The thing about a canned tour (well, two things actually) is the lack of free time to explore on your own and the inability to choose where you eat. We’re independent travellers, but as readers know, on occasion we’ve taken photography tours, like the one we did in Alaska, which included two nights at Land’s […] The post “What’s the delay?” “Oh no, a dead cyclist!” appeared first on Latitude 65 - Jubilados Savouring the Journey.| Latitude 65 – Jubilados Savouring the Journey

“Why is there a big transfer from Ruth Ann in our bank account?” Magellan asked me last December. “I forgot to tell you. We’ve just booked Winnipeg for our annual trip next year, and we had to pay the entire cost of the Airbnb up front.” “Winnipeg!
