Portugal - A New Adventure!

Now that we are rested up from our Vietnam adventure we are ready for a family vacation in Portugal. We chose this destination for some great reasons:


  1. Great Food
  2. Its half way between Toronto and Dubai  - so Son David and Anuzya can meet up with us
  3. Affordable Luxury
  4. Great Food
  5. Great Port
  6. Good place for daughter Sarah and husband Josh to honeymoon 
  7. Great Seafood
  8. The WHOLE family together!
  9. Did I mention food?
We will begin blogging again soon with tales of our adventures

Hope you enjoy following!
