Our 2025 Holiday in Panama

I am restarting my Blog as well as the YouTube channel so our Mum's can keep an eye on what we're doing. We live in Alberta and the Mum's are about an 8 hours drive away in Saskatchewan.

Here is our recent 2 week trip to Panama which we took from May 24th - June 9th. 

What an amazing place.

Editor's Note: 

I hadn't been planning to make a video at the time which is why it is mostly pictures and voiceover.

Trusted HouseSitters 25% Discount

Trusted HouseSitters have provided us with a 25% discount for our readers.

This is a great opportunity for you to get in on this incredible system, 25% off of anything is a great bargain these days and this allows you to travel very inexpensively as accommodation is often the most expensive part of any trip.

We love this system as it allows us to travel almost anywhere in the world, we then stay at someone else's home for free while they are away on their own adventure. We look after their house and pets and receive free accommodation in return.

The system offers contracts for those who prefer a more formal arrangement or just online communications as we have been using and they provide a free 24/7 vet line should it be needed while you are sitting someone's pet.

More information about How It Works can be found HERE

We would very much like to thank Trusted HouseSitters for offering this very generous discount to our readers.


We have another sit coming up very shortly, right here on our little island.

*Disclosure: Should you use our discount code we will receive a small credit towards our own membership fees.

A few days away

Virginia and Thomas (Relief hosts) were having company come so they traded us a couple of days so they would have time off to visit their family.

This meant we had 4 whole days!

We get a lot of campers from Parksville and they have told me how great it is there so that's where we went. TO THE BEACH!

I tried to book a hotel with a deep dish bathtub but the rate was $550/nt ( deep dish is only in the suites), so a stupid regular bathtub was in my future - Damn it.

Anyway, we got a great hotel, Bayside Resort. It has a regular hotel bathtub (better than no bathtub) but with our military discount it was only $138/nt... much better. And - right on the beach.

Yup, this is the life

Robbie liked the view

Lots of people enjoying the seaside at low tide

Same view at high tide

A flock of seagulls doing yoga on the beach

With Tim's (coffee) in hand we wandered around the beach

Great playground for the kids and even a free workout area for everyone just out of frame.

This woman has been dragged through a bush, me thinks...

Our hotel from the water side

Decided to check out Qualicum Beach but wasn't much there so we kept driving... through Comox Valley all the way to Campbell River before deciding we best turn back. Thinking we were only 50Km from our hotel we were shocked to have Google Maps tell us we were 1 hr 20 min from the hotel.... Whaa..?

We stayed in Parksville for 2 nights on the waterfront and it was great to be back on the ocean again.
