Stamps in My Passport: A Travelog: STAMP #1: LE CAMARGUE
http://stampsinmypassport.blogspot.com/2011/08/stamp-le-camargue-1.html
Stamps in My Passport: A Travelog. Wednesday, August 10, 2011. STAMP #1: LE CAMARGUE. Just home after two wonderful days in the Camargue. In the south of France, west of the Rhone delta. Could have spent a week. Too tired to post tonight, but here are a few pix to get you interested:. Two white horses of the Camargue. Flamingoes take up to four years to become pink. The colour comes from the carotene in the shrimp they eat. A bull round-up. The cowboys are guardiens. And the Camargue bulls. BC, July 2015.

Stamps in My Passport: A Travelog: WHERE GOLF IS FUN....
http://stampsinmypassport.blogspot.com/2012/11/where-golf-is-fun.html
Stamps in My Passport: A Travelog. Saturday, November 3, 2012. WHERE GOLF IS FUN. After a week of mindless relaxation, deep sleeps, and good food and wine in Palm Springs, the travel writer in me has resurfaced. I've played some golf here at the Westin Mission Hills where we own a timeshare and, given that PS is a golf mecca, I want to write about one of the two courses at this resort. Second fairway on Pete Dye course with the Santa Rosa Mountains behind. Green moguls around heavily bunkered greens.

Stamps in My Passport: A Travelog. Thursday, July 30, 2015. CLOSE TO HOME: A DAY OUT ON BARNSTON ISLAND, BC. After cancelling our two major trips this year, we are taking day trips around home. We live close to Vancouver in Port Moody and many places beg for a visit and photography. Although I've lived here for nearly fifty years, there's much left to explore. Our first day out involved a five minute cruise after a half-hour drive. Barnston Island. Traffic-free and flat, Dyke Road runs 10kms around the i...

http://stampsinmypassport.blogspot.com/2011/08/stamp-1-dinard-and-st-malo.html
Stamps in My Passport: A Travelog. Tuesday, August 16, 2011. STAMP #1: Dinard and St-Malo, Brittany. After eight hours of hi-speed train travel and nearly missing our connection, we arrived on Monday at our pretty Hotel Pritania on the waterfront in Dinard. Carefully chosen to be 150m from the ferry to St-Malo. Our room overlooks the sailing school on the river Rance. I headed for the Musee de St-Malo to see what I could discover about Jaques Cartier. What else could we have? C) Julie H. Ferguson 2011.

Stamps in My Passport: A Travelog. Sunday, November 6, 2011. STAMP: PALM SPRINGS GOLF. For the last decade or so, Palm Springs has been my destination of choice for my annual golf frenzy. My girlfriend, who is also my golf partner, and I head down for a week in November and play nearly every day. Mid-week, we shop. Here in 2002 I found a brilliant golf pro, Mike Ellis who is a senior instructor with the Faldo Golf Institute. At Marriott's Shadow Ridge. We also thoroughly enjoy the Pete Dye. Over the year...

Ferguson 2011. Bowen Island is a world away next door; a place where I didn't need a stamp in my passport! Go for the day and find yourself staying for three . Planning for solo travel.

Stamps in My Passport: A Travelog. Wednesday, September 7, 2011. STAMP #1: Victoria, BC. An early morning start to the ferry for Vancouver Island and Victoria.

Tomorrow: I will be visiting some foodie outlets and staying in the Abbeymore Manor across the road from the Lieutenant Governor's residence, which I hope to visit. Dinner at Paprika, a highly acclaimed res...
