Egypt, Egypt, Egypt Egypt, Egypt, Egypt By Megan Cutler | March 17, 2014 | Comments 1 comment When we learned we were coming to England, there was never any question we’d visit the British Museum several times. It’s the kind of must-see location you wouldn’t want to cram into a single day. Even approaching the building was exciting. In England, there seem to be a lot of large gates with small doors … Read More Read More
Always Check the Weather Always Check the Weather By Megan Cutler | February 24, 2014 | Comments 1 comment When we finally got settled into our apartment, we took our first serious look at sightseeing since our arrival. Turns out English schools have a half-term break for every term (and three terms). Unlike the usual two terms that we’re used to. Canadian schools don’t get a major break until Christmas, so it was a … Read More Read More
Bucket List Bucket List By Megan Cutler | December 16, 2013 | Comments 2 comments A few weeks ago I wrote about places I’d visit if I could go to any of the many made-up universes in my favorite books. As much as I like escaping into fantasy realms, there are plenty of places in the real world I’d like to visit. Traveling the world has always been something my … Read More Read More
First Port of Call First Port of Call By Megan Cutler | November 11, 2013 | Comments 1 comment After our brief stay in London, we lugged all our suitcases back to the train station and traveled to Portsmouth. Our trip to England proved an excellent opportunity to meet with a fellow writer we met years ago on an RPG forum. He and his lady graciously offered to host us while we looked for … Read More Read More
A Walk in Westminster A Walk in Westminster By Megan Cutler | October 21, 2013 | Comments 0 Comment Our first twenty-four hours in England were less than ideal. Much of this had to do with jet lag; we left Toronto at 7:20 PM and arrived at Gatwick Airport at 7:20 AM… seven hours after our departure. We both tried to sleep on the plane, but it’s a tricky thing to sleep sitting up. … Read More Read More
The Crystal Skull The Crystal Skull By Megan Cutler | August 5, 2013 | Comments 2 comments Our final journey off-resort in Belize led us to Lubaantun. This smaller set of ruins must seem less impressive to some since we were alone that day on the bus, just the five of us and the driver. For me, Lubaantun was a far more interesting experience than Xunantunich; the pictures don’t really do the … Read More Read More
Maiden of the Rock Maiden of the Rock By Megan Cutler | June 24, 2013 | Comments 1 comment While we spent a lot of time on the beach in Belize, it wasn’t the (sole) reason we visited the country. We took three ventures off-resort. The first was to see a Mayan ruin located about 80 miles west of Belize City. It was about a three hour drive from the resort, but well worth … Read More Read More
