My Birthday Flight to Nowhere: Part 1 – Flying to Dubai

ByTravelling Minion March 13, 2022 4 Comments
Emirates First Class In December of 2021, I did a bit of flying to nowhere... Let me explain... One of my travel goals for 2021 was to fly in Emirates First Class. I made a booking to do this late in December 2021. What makes it even sweeter is that it's a little bit of a birthday gift to myself  since it occurs a day after my birthday! In order to maximize the flights, I got "creative" with...

Now that I've finished blogging about this family trip to the Maritime provinces It's time to wrap it up with a few thoughts. This is the first trip I've taken since the start of the pandemic that involves plane travel. It's also a special trip in the sense I get to experience it with my parents! If you've spent the time to read through the whole trip, I appreciate it! If not and you want to you...

We start heading down the coast towards...

Today we bid farewell to Cape Breton and head to Prince Edward Island. PEI is a small island province in Canada but it is also the birthplace of our Confederation. So aside from being a very picturesque island, its also rich in history. We check out of our AirBnB early in the morning for the three hour drive to the ferry terminal. Because we didn't want to pay for a reservation on the ferry, we...

Aucoin Bakery Waking up rested from the past day of travel, we set out early to make the most of our day in Cape Breton Island. Our first stop is Aucoin Bakery.

Aucoin Bakery pops up quite a few times during my research and we make it a point to stop here for some breakfast before our...
