Irene and Chris Travel. May 2, 2007. We forgot to post our trip to China. We wonder how this could. Have happened but making m. Ovies and slide shows got in the way. We recently returned from a memorable trip to China. Without a doubt this was an experience beyond expectations. Our 15 day trip was remarkably reasonable. An incredible value for the money. Pacific Rim Travel did an outstanding job on this well planned. You would be amazed by this remarkable countr. Posted by Chris and Irene @ 5:49 PM.

Irene and Chris Travel. Apr 13, 2007. O ur first venture on a birding trip and since Panama has some of the best birding we decided to stay at a unique hotel - The Canopy Towers , which. Is just outside of Panama City in Soberiana Park. This used to be a USA Radar installation and has been converted to a small hotel with guides, great meals and spectacular views over the jungle canopy to the Panama Canal. The website for these great sites is. In six days we saw 215 species and Irene saw 122 lifers.

Irene and Chris Travel. Jul 24, 2007. This was our first visit to this Pr. Ovince and we thought it was ab. Out time that we went to see "Th. E Rock".

One was always on the look out for Moose as th. Where the Nor...

Irene and Chris Travel. Oct 24, 2006. To our home on wheels. Yes, it is that time of year again when you receive a note from us saying that we will soon be. Heading south. As you may have heard that Eastern Canada has had a winter blizzard already we had a dusting of snow and very high winds. The camper is being loaded and the last minute details are being completed - such as driver license, vehicle insurance and all those important things. More will be added at a later date when we are on the road.

Irene and Chris Travel. Jul 22, 2006. Tuesday we pick up our van camper only a few blocks from our hotel (Philip Street Travelodge). Our camper rate is $49.95/day with insurance and is almost 1/3 the price of some of the quotes we received on the. Internet and Travel agents. With our sightseeing I have seen 16 new birds. Some quite brilliant and very different from ours. We are fine and so far jet lag has not been much of a problem. Bye for now Irene and Chris. G'day mates Chris and Irene. You are correc...

Irene and Chris Travel. Oct 30, 2007. Our home for many years! Winnipeg is a beautiful prairie city, which has all the amenities that a large city offers - Symphony, Concerts, Ballet, Sports, Parks, Zoo etc. The one thing it does not have is long time consuming drives to any destination. It still is easy to commute from one side of the city to another in about hour and a little longer during the evening rush hour. Since we are retired the rush hour does not bother us anymore. Developed into a gathering s...

Irene and Chris Travel. Mar 16, 2008. February 8 - 28, 2008. What a rugged country! We just returned from 3 weeks in the north east and west portions of Ecuador.

We left our camper at La Laguna Sta Maria del Oro at our friends home in Nayarit, Mexico and travelled by bus with Ben Wassink to Mexico City where we caught a flight to Quito. We spent time...
