Hi everyone, For new subscribers, I’ve posted my inaugural summer 2009 newsletter here. Relatively speaking, it’s been a quiet fall for travel.

Fairmont Vancouver Airport Hotel at YVR, Canada
To bridge the gap between my fantastic two weeks in Corner Brook and St. John’s, Newfoundland and a five-day trip to Winnipeg, Canada for the first time, I had to fly back to Vancouver and spend the night at the airport before leaving the next morning.

It was one of those dark, cold fall nights in Corner Brook, Newfoundland, and there wasn’t much going on. Supper had long been eaten and an episode of CSI had already been watched. How else do the people here spend their time? Union Street Bar & Billiards (709-634-6410). Pool is a great way to pass [...]
