We went to Veradero for a week at an all-inclusive resort, did a day trip into Havana, and spent a lot of time laying beside the pool. It was lovely, and I remembered how much I loved to travel.

Cuba
After my exchange to Germany in Grade 12 (SOOOOO long ago!!) the only plane trip I went on for a long time was a family trip to Haiti - something to do with needing to work and pay for life - so Cuba in 2007 with 3 other girls was my first vacation that wasn't a road trip.

Egan Chutes Provincial Park
Part of the series: Bancroft - a destination, not a trip
When I was growing up, Egan Chutes was not a Provincial Park. It was one of those places that our family used to go to on a Sunday afternoon in the spring. Everyone had to wear rubber boots, and jump a creek or two, but the hike was well worth the view.
The Ontario Parks website describes Egan Chutes as:
If you plan on visiting Egan Chutes, I recommend going in the spring, just after the snow has melted. Once the runoff is over, the white water disappears, and there is barely a trickle to watch going over the rocks.

The Ontario Parks website describes Egan Chutes as:
A bend of the York River has become a wetland with an adjacent sand flat, where poplar, white birch, ash, buffaloberry, and purple flowering raspberry grow. Minerals found here include nepheline, sodalite, biotite, zircon, and blue corundum.The last time I was there was in the spring of 2008, with my brother Jonathan and his girlfriend (now wife) Wilma.
... a short walk along an unmaintained road will take visitors to three picturesque waterfalls within the nature reserve.
Mineral collecting and camping are prohibited.
