In a few days, I will be in Manitoba!. My early morning habit of waking up super super early will ensure I have no difficulty being ready for the taxi at 5:15 am and getting to the airport for 5:30 am on Wednesday……..LOL.
My vacation itinerary is already filling up! I am looking forward to learning about the history of Manitoba and supporting as many of the local businesses as I can. I’ve chosen to stay at two local B&B’s instead of a hotel chain- “A Wee Bit of Heaven” in Morden and “Evergreen Gate B&B” in Selkirk. I’m taking a trolley tour in Winnipeg, visiting the Museum for Canadian Human Rights, visiting the Canadian Mint, taking a river boat cruise along the downtown core, will take a drive to Riding Mountain National Park, will visit Lower Fort Garry and the local zoo and spend an hour on horseback at Miracle Ranch!. Will also spend a day in Holland, MB. My family comes from the Netherlands – have been there. I’ve also been to Holland, Michigan. Now I can say I’ve been to Holland three times! The second half of my week will include a few days at Grand Beach on Lake Winnipeg – the water temperature is about 20 degrees and I’ve been warned of the presence of “eagle mussels” so I’ll have to wear water shoes. That’s different.
Join me on this exciting adventure – talk to you all next week!
Thank you for reading…..Joye
