The tar in the street starts to melt from the heat
And the sweats runnin’ down from my hair
I walked 20 miles and I’m dragging my feet
And I’ll walk 20 more I don’t care
And I’ll wander this world, wander this world
Wander this world, wander this world all alone
I’m like a ghost some people can’t see
Others drive by and stare
A shadow that drifts by the side of the road
It’s like I’m not even there
And I’ll wander this world, wander this world
Wander this world, wander this world all alone
Well I’ve never been part of the game
The life that I live is my own
All that I know is that I was born
To wander this world all alone, all alone
Some people are born with their lives all laid out
And all their success is assured
Some people work hard all their lives for nothin’
They take it and don’t say a word
They don’t say a word
Sometimes it’s like I don’t even exist
Even God has lost track of my soul
Why else would he leave me out here like this
To wander this world all alone
And I’ll wander this world, wander this world
Wander this world, wander this world all alone
–Jonny Lang, “Wander This World”
Brendan and I left from DEN Airport early Tuesday, flying to Casablanca, Morocco mid-day on Wednesday after a 28 hour journey with 3 flights, 3 carriers and 3 continents. We had booked our 14 day Morocco and Portugal stopover on July 1, more than 90 days in advance. The only hitch we had came about…
Our final full day in Vancouver started with a leisurely breakfast and a “go” time to Granville Market of 945AM, our latest morning on the trip. We had already explored the overview of Granville Market as part of our Vancouver city tour on our first full day (blog here). We already briefly walked through the…
The next day was our uber long day where we’d head from downtown Vancouver to the mountains for Whistler day-tripping. It was about a 2 hour drive, so we got started early and met in the hotel lobby at 8AM to depart. We were both really excited for a day that consisted of all sorts of…
The next morning, Saturday, was our Vancouver City Tour departing at a more reasonable 830AM, coupled with our spa visit in the afternoon. This was probably the most leisurely day we had – this was not a relax kind of vacay. This morning, since we were on an early schedule, we actually woke up with…
The next morning we were up at 6AM for a 745AM departure time to head to Victoria whale watching, after partaking in the daily breakfast buffet (breakfasts were also the same every day, but since I’m not a huge breakfast for breakfast person, this was no problem at all). The first stop was the Vancouver sea…
A few weeks ago, my boyfriend Brendan and I enjoyed an all-expenses paid trip to Vancouver for 5 nights for the Travelport Star Awards trip. My employer, Travelport, selected me as one of the top performers of 2016 along with 31 other people, and this trip was the reward for all of us. I have…
