Janie Robinson at home in Crete and around the world (The United Church Observer)

Here's one of my favourite stories about two of my favourite subjects - my hometown of Vasey and travelling! Janie Robinson's Easter Spirit Story is in the April 2012 issue of The United Church Observer.










BERMUDA - GO FLY A KITE ON GOOD FRIDAY

Janie Robinson celebrates a time-honoured Easter tradition on Bermuda's pretty-in-pink Horseshoe Bay Beach in the April 2012 issue of Westjet Magazine.   Bermuda's annual Good Friday's Kite Day Festival  is a fun-filled beach party with live music, dancing, tasty treats and rainbow of colourful kites dancing in the brilliant blue sky above the island’s pretty Easter egg-coloured pastel homes. The Fairmont Southampton, Bermuda has a family fun four-day Easter Holiday program April 5 - 8 http://www.fairmont.com/shp/Easter2012/

Molokai - the Newfoundland of Hawaii

With just one hotel, a main street that shuts at sunset and not a traffic light or spa in sight, this quiet and quirky Hawaiian island isn't everyone's cup of coconut milk.  Relatively few visitors find their way to Molokai, but Janie Robinson did and loved it!  Discover an authentic way of life and some great colourful characters in this unspoiled tropical paradise, in Janie's Toronto Star travel story  http://www.thestar.com/travel/northamerica/article/1153312--travel-u-s-quiet-and-quirky-molokai-is-the-newfoundland-of-hawaii

Sun, Sand and Satisfaction in 2012
