February 23, 2018: On our second day in Yellowknife and before heading out for our night time aurora light chasing, we headed to Elke’s Table on 47th for dinner.
Amazing Mr. Google helped us find this place. It was just 2 minutes away from the hotel and had a rating of (at the time of visiting) 4.8 stars! Perfect for us! Continue reading

Feb. 22, 2018:
Omg today was amazing! I got to cross off/achieved another bucket list item — to see the northern lights!! ^_^
The trip started bright and early in the wee hours. Our flight to Yellowknife was preceded by a stopover in Calgary first. The flight from Toronto to Calgary was at Continue reading
Chateau Nova Yellowknife located at 4571 48 St in Yellowknife
February 22, 2018: During our four days three nights visit in Yellowknife, we stayed at the Chateau Nova. I have to say this was one of the best hotels I’ve stayed at because they had so many amenities available inside the room! (Keep reading.)
First of all, we checked in at the hotel at around 2 p.m. after we deplaned Continue reading
Vietnamese Noodle House located at 4609 50 Ave in Yellowknife, NT
February 22, 2018: For our very first meal in Yellowknife, we ventured towards Vietnamese Noodle House. We had deplaned, checked into the hotel, and after dropping off our luggage in the room, were ready for food. A quick search on Google Maps pointed out this restaurant which was about an 8 minute walk from our hotel. Who wouldn’t be down for some comfort food like some hot pho in a new Continue reading

Blogging!! I still have a lot of backlog blog posts I want to clear out from my list and yet sometimes when I get a chance to catch up, I end up resting and letting it pile up again. I can’t wait to blog and clear out my entries. 😀
Ending the third day of the trip in Kingston, Ontario
February 14, 2018: On this final day of the tour across Ontario and Quebec, we began the day finally with some continental breakfast courtesy of the hotel! The first two days didn’t include breakfast. I like Comfort Inn’s continental breakfasts since they provide the essentials and their essentials are decent too. Continue reading
First time visiting an ice hotel!
February 13, 2018: The second day of the tour involved a lot of stops! First, after a little bit of breakfast in our own hotel room, we set off to Saint Joseph’s Oratory (3800 Queen Mary Rd, Montreal, QC) in Mont Royal in Montreal, Quebec. This “is Canada’s largest church and claims to have one of the largest domes in the world.” Continue reading
Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada. February 2018
This week, ask me why I am standing in the middle of nowhere (a frozen lake) in the snow all bundled up with a misty cloudy sky at night. Ask me why I was there and what led me there. Ask me what time of the day this was and why I was still awake when many others were tucked in safely in a warm place at home. Continue reading
In the airspace between Calgary and Toronto. February 2018
As I took the plane back home from Calgary and Yellowknife this weekend, I saw this view on my red eye flight. The airplane (rocket) could be something that takes us literally out of this world while those grooved clouds remind me of the Continue reading
