No, I wont have Nunavit (again, pun intended)...

The Territories: These places are probably about as close as you can get to God on earth these days. No people, vast resources, dramatic landscapes, gold, diamonds, silver and enough Eve's for every Adam. This could be Eden for half a year. Miles of sandy beaches that are empty of humans on hot, hot summer longweekends. Those beaches might be empty because most of town folk are too busy sitting in lawn chairs pulling 10 pound walleyes out of the river downtown. Everything to do for those with at least a moderately strong constitution and an outdoor inclination - and 20 hours a day to do it in!

My greatest regret in Canadian travel is not having spent enough time in the territories... but there's next year.

Now you owe me a primer on the UK - my extensive travels there ended with my 16th birthday, but we are planning to visit England and (primarily, I think) Scotland this fall.

Ciao
