Six tables of dessert Weddings. They seem to be quite the trend these days. Though I’m not one for fads, I figured it was a good idea that I attend my brother’s wedding. After all, it was one of the major reasons for this crazy and wonderful trip to Canada. Plus, he was holding it …

Welcome Aboard I’m not sure if I’ve ever been sea-sick before. I’ve been dizzy on a boat; nauseous on land after boating (though it may have been all the beers); and sick while on a boat (during a very memorable overnight ferry ride in Tanzania).
