Travel in Dominica, Land of Delight

February 20th, 2010 - Posted by: admin

Dominica is about discovery. Much of its 360 rivers, rainforest and mountains remain virgin territory. Sightseeing, trekking, hiking, and diving are among the best in the Caribbean. But Dominica’s true nature is one of harmony; a land of  solace amongst towering mountains and cascading rivers. Being on the island is like being transported back in time, miles away from the fast-paced modern world; time moves at a leisurely pace in Dominica and that is the way Dominicans like it.

Dominicans are benevolent and kind, and take pride in being hospitable. They defer to the environment, appreciating the bounty that the land provides, and are quick to point out that Dominica is a self-sustaining land; one can grow their own vegetables, keep their own chickens and fish off the banks. Vegetables and fruits are in abundance. Two generously sized avocado set one back less than one US dollar.

Dominicans are innovative and considerate; not driven by profit, they take delight in experimenting and are motivated by pride and joy. This tiny population of 70,000 that inhabits 290 square miles, produces its own beer and coffee.  It remains famous, worldwide, for Dominican straw mats and exporting grapefruit and bananas. In the valleys sugar-cane is grown, crushed and processed into a high quality Dominica rum.  Read more about travel in Dominica.

Great Skiing in Quebec

January 30th, 2010 - Posted by: admin

Gorgeous day skiiing in QuebecSun behind the trees while skiiingin Quebec. Beautiful day, great snow.Beautiful day skiing in Quebec at Mont Blanc

On a Ski vacation in Quebec, we found a great ski resort - Mont Blanc, just an hour north of Montreal and before Mont Tremblant. If you want to ski quebec, this is a great place to go. As intermediate skiers, we had a great time taking on the Mont Blanc slopes The mountain  has enough easier runs with a ton of really challenging ones too – 41 runs in all so great for all levels.  We didn’t make it over to the North face because we heard it was the most difficult part but for us the best part was the main face which comes together right in front of the main ski resort, with the cafeteria, lounge, rental, and everything right there.  The conditions were awesome – tons of snow, great terrain, and the sun was out most of the time.   We stayed in their Village Mont Blanc condominiums which are ski-in, ski-out and AWESOME.  Really nice condos, with gas fireplaces, cozy, and new.  A really nice trip - highly recommended!

Climb the hill to the Halifax Citadel, a magnificent star fortress which has defended the port for over 250 years and thrill to the skirl of bagpipes and the musket drill of kilted red-coat soldiers.

Enjoy a summer’s afternoon in the Public Gardens, the oldest formal Victorian Garden in North America, and still leased from the Queen for one dollar per year. Take in some shopping on Spring Garden Rd, one of the best people watching venues anywhere.
