Everyone please help me wish my big brother Ammon a wonderful 36th birthday!!! Have I ever told you about this absurdly cool dude? Well, if you don’t know, Ammon rhymes with salmon, and he is one of the big stars of my “Sihpromatum” travel memoir series. Though I […]

Our spectacular Caribbean elopement followed by honeymoon in Saint Lucia, Antigua, Saint Kitts and Nevis (posts coming soon!) wouldn’t be complete without a full blown celebration and blessings from family and friends at home in Vancouver, Canada.

We are a RTW-traveling family from Vancouver, Canada: With a collective country count of 143 out of 193 countries, and still counting. 🙂 That in a nut shell is my Family. Comments: Met them at Mario’s place on Gozo and then “stole” them from him and took them […]
