This past month Viv spent time taking a trip down memory lane in England with
her mum, Viv, Sr. It has been 30 years since the Chapleo family made the big
move across the pond to Canada, so it was definitely time to go back and visit
family, friends and childhood haunts. A good time was had by all with loads of
laughs, great eats and sightseeing - more to come on this trip in the near
future.

If you're contemplating a trip to limey land, put Liverpool on your list of places to
visit whilst there - not just because of the FAB 4, but also because Liverpool is
the European Capital of Culture in 2008 and there will be festivities galore
throughout the year. ~ www.liverpool08.com
Jill kept busy in Central Oregon attending Wine by the River in Bend, at the
beginning of October. There were 60+ wineries represented during the two day
event. Wine by the River took place the same weekend as Bend's Fall Festival,
so twice as much was to be had around town. Bend is always a fun and
beautiful place to visit at any time of the year, but fall is especially fabulous
when the autumn colors are out in full force.

Travel Safety Tips for Women ~
Staying Safe in Your Hotel Room
by Leyla Ayse
Most of us travel because we love it - and whether we stay in tents, hostels or
luxury hotels, the one thing we want to feel is safe once we tuck in for the night.
Basic safety rules are just common sense, whatever the accommodation. You
wouldn't let a stranger into your home, would you? Nor should you let one into
your hotel room. Same rules, different places. These basic safety tips and hotel
room precautions should keep you snug at night. I follow them, and I know I
sleep more soundly knowing I've taken care of things before bedtime.

RESTAURANT REVIEW - SALEM OREGON
You're not a Geek if you Like Greek
~ by Nancy Pitman
Call it a wonderful surprise. Suggesting a dinner for our family at the Macedonia
Greek Restaurant sent shock waves through my steak and potatoes loving
family. Little did they know the delights in store for them. Located downtown
Salem Oregon, in the historic Reed Opera house sits a little piece of Greece.
Enter through the mock marble columns and archway shrouded in leafy plants,
to an oasis reminiscent of warm and friendly Greece. Huge pots filled with more
sprouting plants hang from the high ceiling above. Mediterranean windows
overlooking small boutique gives a European ambience as you watch
pedestrians stroll through a bevy of shops.
Servers dressed in black slacks and white dress shirts welcome you with wide
friendly smiles. Given our menu's we felt like total geeks trying to figure out what
to order. Plates passed by holding delectable looking creations.
