June 27- July 5, 2008 - Montreal, Canada
   

Spent some time in Montreal this summer, it was half pleasure and half work.
Got to enjoy many of the sites as well as the International Jazz Festival.
Then my workmates showed up and we worked as a team doing home renovations for the L'Arche Society.
All in all it was a great trip!!

April 18-25, 2008 - Catalonia Playa Maroma, Mexico
   

My good friend Chantal and I just spent a week in the Riviera Maya on a little spring vacation.
It was an awesome time, met people from all over the world, enjoyed numerous beverages on a white
sandy beach next to the green/blue Caribbean sea, participated in many of the resort events such as
kayak competitions, water polo, ocean aerobics, shows and dancing.

Also got a couple of excursions, one to Xel-ha for snorkeling and then to Tulum as well as a night of
sight seeing followed by a dinner in Playa de Carmen.

The food was actually quite good considering it was a buffet and the sea food dinners in the Ala-Carte
restaurants were very good.

The fact that we missed the big spring snow storm in Calgary didn't hurt things either.
