Bucket list: British Columbia, Canada
I have a confession to make as a Minnesotan. I’ve never crossed the border up into Canada even though my accent has made many people think I’m Canadian. I know, I’m a bad Northerner and really need to cross Canada off the bucket list and go back to my roots of nice people, hockey, and

Nice two-day itinerary
Ah, the French Riviera! When Rick and I were there I couldn’t help but fall in love with the views, the welcoming people, and that relaxed Mediterranean ambiance.
