Bob's Travel Page

 

There are a lot of photos linked to from this page (about 49,000 for 174 destinations). However, under each location below I have a link to the "just the best" photos, which is a selection of 10-35 images.

 

New Destinations for 2025: Panama, Copenhagen, Aarhus, Malmo, Gothenburg, Stockholm

 

The evolution of this travel page is as follows:

  • In 2007 I took time off work and travelled extensively and the site was intended as a kind of travel diary for that year, with destinations like Dubai and Tokyo.

  • After 2007, it made sense to continue to add in other places to which I travelled, such as Beijing.

  • I got the idea that I could add in earlier images of trips that I had taken where the photos were available in digital formats. I had started using a digital camera in 2002. I went back and added in those cities, such as Buenos Aires.

  • When I scanned all my hard-copy photos, I eventually added these to the site as well. I had some misgivings doing this, because the image quality is often quite poor, and because there are often so few photos of any given destination that it seemed not to be worthwhile to add in a gallery. An example of a destination like this is Bilbao.  

  • In 2015, I thought about the Canadian destinations on my site, and decided that my list of Canadian cities was a bit arbitrary. For instance, I had both Thunder Bay and Kingston, but did not have other cities that were greater in population, perhaps because they are harder to imagine as travel destinations. I decided that I would try and add galleries for any city that is currently a Census Metropolitan Area as defined by Statistics Canada, or which is a provincial or territorial capital. Starting in the summer of 2015, I began making trips, sometimes day trips with Yvon, sometimes flying by myself, to these destinations for the purpose of adding them into the website. An example of this kind of destination is Guelph.

  • In 2017 I started travelling when flights and weather allowed to secondary US destinations for micro trips, which involved packing a lot of stuff into a quick weekend. An example of this type of destination is Baltimore.
