Are you a fisher? Well if you are and the weather permits – fishing is an awesome activity on the bucket list during summer time. But don’t forget to get a fishing license!

One-year Sport Fishing License Tag $28.33

One-year Conservation Fishing License Tag $16.18

One-day Sport Fishing License $ 12.95

Renewing fishing license is a different price ; of course a little cheaper. When you plan a fishing trip – don’t forget to read about the laws or what not. There’s quite a bit. Some fishes your not allow to take if its not the right size. Just a little heads up for those don’t really know the rules! Have lots a fun and don’t forget to apply SUN LOTION.

Oasis of the Seas

This is one of the newest cruise ship hubby & I been talking about. I know its not the right time to go on another vacation and he’s been always bringing it up – makes me MAD! Because were not going anytime soon and he’s like talking about it almost every day.

We are addicted to cruises because of the delicious food and the awesome staffs they have. Not only that – it is because of the service and just the atmosphere of being in the middle of the ocean. It just feels very romantic to me. You know what I mean? I love it on a cruise ship – just him and I though. No one else – or else it’ll feel very weird. Maybe another couple? Not too sure about that – we like our alone times. Are you like me too??

Oasis of the Seas is one of the biggest ship right now – I also heard that the Royal Caribbeans are having another new ship coming out. I wonder if that one will be one of the biggest eh? The Oasis of the Seas have a large park inside the ship too. Crazy eh? Now – I really want to go on one !!! ARG!!!

Best time to go Disney World?

While little Jayden is my my stomach still – we are already talking about when to bring this little man to Disney World! Are we crazy or what? But since we were planning it – mind as well continue with it right? My husband’s never been to Disney World – the one at Orlando himself so he’s quite excited to go! For me – I’ve been there like 6-7 years ago? It was quite an experience for me. But what I love the most is of course the outlet malls! *hahaha* – can’t forget the shopping right?

Anyways – being there for a week is really not enough because they have so many parks to walk through – if we bring Little Jayden this time – we gotta go for two weeks. I want him to enjoy and experience everything he could. But what’s the best age to bring him?? My husband is thinking about age 5 but I’m thinking that’s way too young for him to even remember where he went right? I’m looking into an older age – so he can remember more. What’s your thought? Any suggestions on what’s the best age to bring your kids to Disney World?

[Travel] Queen Elizabeth Park @ Vancouver

Queen Elizabeth Park is famous for taking pre-wedding photos and any other special events. I gotta say – the government in Vancouver put a lot of funding in their nature parks. I mean – Look at all these beautiful flowers below. I was told that each year – these flowers are different. They put a lot of money and time into these parks. It amazes me and not only that – it’s very very clean.

The day we cruise this park – it was such a warm and sunny day. I even saw a couple of bride and grooms taking photos there. Same with graduating classes.

[Travel] Lynn Canyon @ Vancouver, British Columbia

You’ll be seeing a lot of green and water in this post! Lynn Canyon is famous for the Suspension Bridge (which is on my next post, stay tune). This park is absolutely free entrance and parking. If your a hiker – you would have a lot of fun exploring this area. A lot to see and when the weather is warm – you can even play in the water too. It’s just too bad when we went – it was too cold to play in the water!

Lots of green and water eh?

This is the entrance of Lynn Canyon. Unique eh? It’s a very nice park for people to visit. I think this is one of the most popular one. Maybe because of the Suspension Bridge?

[Travel] Suspension Bridge, Vancouver British Columbia

This was the Suspension Bridge I was talking about from my last post. This bridge is located inside Lynn Canyon. You have to hike for about 15 minutes to get to the Suspension Bridge. There is two Suspension Bridge – this one we went to is the shorter one that doesn’t require a fee. If we were to head to the longer bridge – there will be a fee. It’s the same bridge – except for the length.

It was very difficult for me to walk through the bridge because the bridge does move when people shake it. I didn’t dare to look down because I’m very scared of height. All I did was look what’s in front of me. Scary huh? But thank goodness it was such a short bridge. I’m pretty sure if I look down – the view would be awesome. Have you been here before?

This is how the bottom looks like under the bridge. I didn’t take these photos!

The only downfall was that the hike was really muddy! Thank goodness that I wore my rain boots. So don’t forget your rain boots when hiking up to the Suspension Bridge! It was a wet day for us that day – but nonetheless, it was very enjoyable.

[Travel] Granville Island’s Public Market

The Public Market is HUGE! We took a cruise in there and boy was it crowded. They sale almost everything – they even have a food court inside. They have fresh baked food and different culture food. I didn’t get a chance to try the different food there because I just had lunch. But I did get some fresh huge strawberries!

[Travel] kitsalano Beach @ Vancouver

Beautiful isn’t it? Hard to find something like this at where I live. It was just too bad the water was way too cold to play in. I have to say this beach was very very clean – no garbage at all. How could that be? I gotta rate Vancouver’s cleanliness very high on this point. They take really good care of their parks!

This beach would be just perfect for the summer! It was a late summer this year for Vancouver. I’m hoping to come back next August to enjoy being with nature.

So clean eh? Where do you find such thing in Toronto like this? I would love to live near this beach.

[Travel] Daiso @ Aberdeen Mall

My favorite shop of all. Ever heard of the shop called Daiso? It’s basically a $2.00 shop but some stuff are at a higher price. The entire shop carries Japanese accessories from Japan. If I could spend the day here – I would. It was too bad I only had like 20 minutes that day to browse through everything. I was catching a flight – but for sure worth going to. They have really cute Japanese stuff here!

[Travel] Vancouver’s Olympic Torch

Guess what this is? Remember Vancouver Olympic 2010? This is the torch we visited. There was a fountain under it – they built it after the Olympics. It was a crazy event in Vancouver from pictures I saw. I decided to give it a visit. The Torch is located near the water front.
