Christmas Abroad, our lack of Holiday Tradition
It has been many a year since Dave and I celebrated Christmas on actual Christmas day with our families. We always tend to be traveling during the winter months and have yet to put down any roots to start a regular holiday tradition. So here we are celebrating another Christmas by ourselves in yet another country. This year it is Thailand and we will be kickboxing through the entire holidays. That will definitely help to take our minds off of not being at home.

Winter Activities in Canada you Just Cannot miss!
Canadian winter is a manifestation of nature’s harshness. In most parts of the country, people trudge through the snow for almost six months of the year, from November to April. Though some may prefer to hibernate, there are others who do not wish to fall prey to the boredom of cabin fever during the long winter season.

Hence, to experience the excitement of Canadian winter, you need to participate in the following activities…

Top 10 Things we Love About Travel
Yesterday we wrote about the 10 things we Hate about Travel. You didn’t think that we would just leave you with that would you? We had to counter that negative post. We love to travel and believe me, we love more things about travel than we hate. Otherwise we wouldn’t be doing it. The problem with writing this post was narrowing it down to only 10 things. We love so much about travel that we could have written 100 things that we love about it. But we don’t want to bore you to death.
Top 10 Things we Hate About Travel
I know what your thinking, how can you hate anything about travel? How dare you complain. You are lucky enough to be able to travel the world and hey if you don’t like it then why don’t you just stop traveling? We could have put in things like sub standard rooms or questionable transportation, but we really don’t hate that stuff. We could talk about touts and scam artists or getting ill and lacking the comforts of home. But we don’t hate that either. We could talk to you about a lot of things. But the list below is about the things that really irk us time and again.
Things we Take for Granted in the First World
We were sitting in our room in downtown Delhi enjoying our HBO when the power suddenly went out. We were sitting in the pitch black and it made us think about everything that we take for granted in Canada. Third world countries have to put up with these inconveniences on a regular basis so we thought that we would share with you some of the things that people in India have to deal with daily.

Long term travel can be tough. After a couple of months on the road, it becomes work. You are no longer in that honeymoon phase of excitement.

Here are some signs that told Dave and I that we just may have a little bit of travelers Fatigue.
10 Things that will Ruin Your Sleep in India

Top 5 Memorable Massages in the World
Yesterday we had our first massage in India. It was a memorable experience and you can read about it here. We had the full body Ayurvedic Massage will therapeudic oils. I am sure that we will be having more as we go through our travels. It made us think about the other memorable massages that we have had on our past travels. We love getting a massage, it is a luxury that we cannot afford to have regularly at home, so we take advantage of it wherever we go. Some experiences have been better than others and some stand our in our memories better than others. Here is a list of our Top 5 most memorable massages
Canada’s Lack of Cultural Food Identity
One of the things that we are most looking forward to here in India is sampling the food. We have already enjoyed delicious meals of Masala, Palak Paneer and Dosai. Indian food has incredible flavour. As you read this, we are on a house boat cruising the backwaters of Kerala with our own private chef cooking the best of what India has to offer. The other night our hosts at Skylark Guest house in Varkala cooked us a traditional Kerala meal and it was incredible. We have only been in India a week so we really cannot write a blog post about food yet. We aren’t experts and don’t know a lot about the cuisine of this country yet.
