Thursday Dec 10 2009 Here are some helpful tips for travelling this holiday season: Review international policies. Some countries do screenings and exams at airports, and can quarantine passengers in a hospital or hotel chosen by the government for up to 7 days. Around the holidays, screening procedures (including filling out questionnaires and having your temperature taken) could cause significant delays. At the moment, neither the U.S. nor Canada[Read More]
Wednesday Aug 19 2009 Friends and family have been stressing the importance of taking vacations with me for years. I have somewhat deliberately avoided the conversation as much as possible until now. End result: a lifetime of little travel, lots of work and limited 'fun'.All work and no play makes for a dull life. I've been beginning to wonder if perhaps[Read More]

Monday Apr 16 2007 By Marilyn Hay This is the second post in a two-part series.Changes and adaptations to my arthritis didn't end with learning to manage pain or finding new and fulfilling things to do at home. I could no longer manage the spiral staircase where I was living—I came close to falling enough times that it scared me. And the long, brutally cold winters in Winnipeg brought even more constant, relentless pain. I couldn’t bend well enough to get boots on, so was often confined indoors, unable to negotiate the snow. The idea of house-hunting was exhausting and I really didn’t know where to begin looking.
