We are enjoying our stay in Canada. I thought a list of some favorite things might be in order, even if just to remind myself.
Here is a random list of 10 COOL Canadian things in Victoria, British Columbia: (more…)

We have logged in over 1600 miles, plus a ferry ride to the island of Vancouver in British Columbia. So far, our trip has been a great time for the four of us. Victoria is simply an amazing place. Here are some bullets about our trip so far:
- Staying with friends and family is a huge highlight…we have not seen some of these very important people in our lives for over two years! Priceless conversations.
- Our new car (Nissan Pathfinder) was a good choice. Plenty of room and having more seat belts (7 total) is important–keeps us four and friends together when out on the town.
- Wiring an inverter to the battery to run the Xbox in the car was a massive win for my 12-year old son. Actually, when my wife was driving, playing Modern Warfare 2 with my son in the backseat rocks!
- It is fun to take lots of photos and have friends and family comment on them on Facebook.
- We wish we had more time.
Anyway, I might sneak in a blog post on our way back down…or not. What is your favorite road trip experience as of late?

We spent the day today at the USS Midway museum in San Diego.
Uhmm… any caption ideas for this photo?

The screen shot here is just an example of the coolness of this application for the iPhone. The Wikipedia links give information valuable to the traveler and tourist.
Google Earth lets people virtually fly around a 3D view of the world made from satellite and aerial imagery mapped onto the planet’s mountains and valleys. The iPhone version reproduces this core experience, downloading imagery from Google’s servers as the perspective shifts and dotting the map with landmarks, photos, and other information.
What is your favorite application for the iPhone, Treo, or G1 phone? Or what do you wish they come up with next?
