Welcome to the 2nd News Post of the revived “The Ducksoup Blogs”!
It’s hard to fathom the impact the last almost 2 years have had on all of us!
Memories from Feb/Mar 2020
Looking back on these pictures from late in our 2020 stay, we had no idea what was ahead!
We count ourselves very fortunate, not only to live in Canada where we’ve been able to receive our full vaccination status, but that our entire extended family have been able to avoid the severe outcomes that have afflicted so many!
NOTE: I originally created this News Post in early November... before Omicron! So, I put off publishing this until we actually made it here, which we did on Tuesday, January 4th, 2022!!!
We are planning on returning to our winter home in Uaymitun, MX in early January and returning home the 1st week of April! Hopefully our return will be less stressful that the one in March 0f 2020!
Our strategy while there won’t vary much from our strategy here… minimize outside contacts, avoid large crowds, socialize only with a small group of similarly minded folks, wear masks while in public! However, we plan to be much warmer there than we were last winter in Sarnia! 🙂
Once settled in, I hope to restart our blogs and I hope you all will enjoy them!

Welcome to the 1st News Post of the revised “The Ducksoup Blogs”!
As a part of the move to our new platform, I will be introducing changes in format and content from time to time.
One of the first changes is automatic notification of new posts. Hopefully, if my MailPoet driven subscription list works as advertised, you will have received notification of this News Post automatically!
Another of those changes shows up in the content within the right hand sidebar!
In addition to the usual RECENT POSTS and RECENT COMMENTS areas, I have added two new ways of searching for specific posts:
ThePOSTS BY DATEdropdown will allow you to review all posts from a specific year and month and will show you how many posts there were for that month.
ThePOSTS BY TRIPdropdown will allow you to select posts from specific destinations and year.
I’m still investigating ways and means of altering the display order for these posts, as the default is newest to oldest but I would like to order them oldest to newest so the reader is working in chronological order.
The other major change is additional content for the blog.
During this COVID-19 seclusion, I have migrated some of my older blogs from another platform to WordPress and have started creating new blogs of trips to other destinations!
In addition to our frequent post of our winters spent in Uaymitun, MX, I’ve migrated some of our earlier travels to Europe and some of my work travels around the world. The latter can be displayed by selecting Doug’s Travels from the Trip catalogue.
So far, I’ve been able to include Uaymitun blogs from 2012, the winter before retirement, to 2020, the past winter shortened by the pandemic. I still have one more to recreate, which is our very first trip to the area in 2009!
Uaymarima
Celestun
Teatro José Peón Contreras, Mérida
Uxmal
From around 2006, my work was focused on a Hewlett-Packard program known as “The Digital Hospital“. This led to a customer visit to Trondheim and Oslo, Norway in 2007 which was very special as Elaine was able to come with me!
Den Siste Viking, Trondheim
River Nidelva
Nidaros Cathedral
Karl Johans gate, Oslo
Aker brygge
Vikingskipshuset
In the midst of my frequent travels outside of Canada, Elaine and I had planned an early summer 2011 trip back to England, one of our favourite destinations! However, work intervened and we had to delay it until early fall. I’ve added a blog capturing a few highlights of that England trip.
Corfe Castle, Dorset
Durdle Door, Dorset
Broadway, Cotswolds
Ring of Bells, Dartmoor
Port Isaac, Cornwall
St. Michael’s Mount
Between 2010 and 2012, my work travel was unbelievable! It included trips to London, England; Trondheim, Norway; Amsterdam, Holland; Auckland, NZ; Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; and two trips to Sydney, Australia and Singapore. I’ve migrated/created a few blogs from those trips, but there’s still more to be done!
Marina Bay Sands, Singapore
Singapore Bay
Raffles Hotel
Petronas Towers, KL
Central Market
Batu Caves
Sydney Harbour Bridge
Sydney Opera House
Links to all of these blog posts can be found through the two new areas in the sidebar!
