We love going to this great little market when we’re on our annual girls’ trip to Hornby Island. There’s beautiful jewelry, wine, clothing, handmade jams & jellies, plenty of cool decor items + more. Support local if you’re going to be on the island.

K, so if you haven’t gone to Bow & Stern in District 1881, Downtown Chilliwack, you should!

The service is great, the drink choices are good, our Scallop Carbonara & Prawn + Mango Tacos were perfectly cooked & delicious!

The atmosphere is a sort of Boho Industrial feel with nice greenery, lots of wood, industrial light fixtures but soft Pampas grass touches & glass touches.

After your meal, you can wander around the stores & maybe grab an after dinner coffee at Smoking Gun Coffee Roasters.

The Royal Mews. A mews, or collection of equestrian stables, of the British royal family. In London these stables & stable-hands’ quarters have occupied two main sites in turn, being located at first on the north side of Charing Cross, and then (since the 1820s) within the grounds of Buckingham Palace, as you see here.

You literally walk a perfume gauntlet to get to Departures… then you sit there for hours as it wafts throughout where you’re waiting. Someone needs to do something about this @heathrow_airport many of us have asthma/allergies. Now a bunch of us will be flying with headaches. #UsedMyPufferTwiceAlready #TwoMoreHoursToGo #asthma #allergies #thinkaboutit #perfume #headache

The Castle Hotel, Windsor.

And sometimes travel ends up like this… the week-long torrential rains in England could only lead to this… we nearly couldn’t get back to where we’re staying. This was a last ditch effort after trying several different routes & telling other drivers to turn back for their safety. I don’t have footage of the last leg of the trip because you can’t film + grip the edge of your seat at the same time… Cudos to my husband for making it through considering he only drives on the left side of the road in a manual rental car once a year… & my brother in law who has “saved us” twice now ☔️

The weather was horrific but magical. From seagulls floating forever on the wind gusts to tasting the salt from the sea on your lips, the always captivating St. Mawes, Cornwall.

This landing was actually incredible… there was a lot of turbulence this trip & I wasn’t so sure how this landing was going to go but they aced it. #IDontActuallyLikeToFly #ButIDoLikeToTravel #so #DealWithIt #GetOverIt #London #Heathrow #BritishAirways #pros

Always check & re-check flights, car rental, itinerary… all of it. We always print off confirmations & check ins etc because sometimes technology lets you down.
