The Buzz Queen

Not home quite yet, but back in Canada at least!  I’m in Toronto for the week getting my Admin certification for SalesForce, which is the crm (not cpm) software I use for work.
But what a fabulous time we had in Rhode Island!  We sat and watched the ocean, and the sunsets:

Toured some lighthouses:

Wandered in old […]

… and I’ll be flying into Connecticut and meeting Linda and Claire!  The next day will see us load up Linda’s car with wine and beer our luggage, and head to the beach house in Rhode Island, where we will meet up with Mags, Mo and Callie!
There we will spend one glorious week beach combing, […]

I’m not sure how long this ‘fence’ has been there, but I’ve passed it many times on trips back home. It’s between Keremeos and Osooyos in the Okanagan.
It’s quite odd, isn’t it?

Kristanna took these shots, and had so much fun taking pictures on our trip that she decided to use her birthday money to […]

Just a few kilometers west of Osoyoos is a lake I’ve driven by dozens of times, but never bothered to stop and take a good look. Kristanna asked if you could swim in it, and I said I doubted it, but now have read that Natives of the area soaked away aches and ailments […]

My Goddaughter is graduating this Friday, and I wanted to visit with my Mum and help her do some things around the house, so I decided a trip home was in order.
I had originally asked Mikayla to come (as she was done exams early), but Kristanna proved inconsolable about not coming, and since Mikayla wasn’t […]

I took this picture from the back of a bus in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. The whole group of us had booked a water tubing trip up the White River, and of course we were all surprised that our tour bus could even make it up such a bumpy dirt road!
We passed this elderly lady […]

So if you couldn’t tell, the ‘House of Buzz’ has officially caught the travel bug!
The girls asked me the other day where we are going for Christmas this year, so I thought I’d better get planning. Instead of going the all-inclusive route like we did last year, I decided to look into private vacation […]

Well, our first time camping in the new travel trailer was not without it’s problems. For whatever reason, the brand new batteries refused to hold a charge, and the low battery alarm would go off at the most inopportune times (ie: 3am).
Besides that small annoyance, we did have a nice weekend. Great weather, […]

It’s the Victoria Day long weekend here in Canada, and as we have yet to use our new travel trailer, we’re packing up and heading out to the lake for four days of camping!
The Mountie has actually already headed out with the girls, and I will be joining them with Mattie soon. I had […]

I’m actually planning on doing a full review of the Riu as a lot of friends have asked me what we thought of it, would we go back etc. For now, here are a few pictures of the resort.
The view from our balcony:

The activity pool was massive and a lot of fun:

The beach was […]
