…e and Miquelon. This is of course, the small French possession in maritime Canada. This is the easiest to do from New York but since it’s off the coast of Labrador, I’d prefer to wait for warmer weather so it will get done in April or May.

I am dying to do a Patagonia hiking trip with some of my friends and when I fly down to Santiago, I will catch a small plane for a few days to the main island in the…

…ch as Chester are what makes Nova Scotia so charming and although it is in Canada, it has a distinctively New England feel. I highly recommend taking the coast road, route 3, back to Halifax. It snakes in and out of some small towns and villages and also passes two very important places to visit in Nova Scotia. First, on September 2, 1998 a Swissair flight bound from JFK airport in New York crashed not too far off the coast of Nova Scotia close to…

…he big white island on the map just below the North Pole, near Iceland and Canada. I bet you thought nobody lived there or I bet that you never even thought about it. Truth is some 45,000 people live on the world’s largest island. To visit is somewhat difficult and certainly expensive. The only ways to get to Greenland are by plane from Reykjavik or less frequent flights from Copenhagen. The only other way to get there is by infrequent boats or cr…
How Sports and Travel Go Together

…I knew every sports team in every major professional sport in America and Canada. I knew the cities they played and the states or provinces that they were in. How else would a 6-year-old American kid from Trumbull, Connecticut know where Winnipeg, Edmonton, Green Bay, Portland and Quebec City were? That knowledge also led me to study maps as a kid and learned about every country in the world and every capital city. I didn’t travel as a kid but I…

…The Fairmont Banff Springs Golf Course boasts one of the nicest courses in Canada. To be honest, it’s one of the most scenic courses I have ever played and have played golf in some amazing places like Maui, Lanai, Fiji and many others. Banff Springs is truly a captivating and challenging course where you can easily be both intimidated and distracted by the massive mountains surrounding the course. Mike and I would just sit in awe of some of the vi…
