Where in the world is the Chronicle?
Just “where” you may ask? The answer: across the globe and back.
What a surprise it was to discover that since the launch of the Where in the world is the Chronicle? column in 2011 that our community paper has quite literally travelled around the globe.
Thanks to adventuresome Manor Park residents – students studying abroad and families travelling for work or for pleasure – the Chronicle has crossed many borders and continents with stops at some of the world’s most intriguing and famous locales.
Stuffed in backpacks, carry-on luggage, suitcases and briefcases, the Chronicle has made its way across Canada, the US, the Caribbean, Central and South America, the Pacific region, Australia and New Zealand, and Europe.
In filling out its travel itinerary, it was fascinating to note that Chronicle’s global journey included stops in Canada (Victoria, BC; Garry Island, north of Inuvik, and Hudson, QC) and the United States (Berkley and Los Angeles, CA; Myrtle Beach, NC, and Singer Island, Fla).
In Central America, the Chronicle has appeared on the beaches in Belize, the jungles of Costa Rica and tourist destinations in Havana and Varadero, Cuba.
On to South America, the Chronicle has been to the top of the Inca Trail (Machu Pica) in Peru and to the coastline and cities of Japan.
Heading to Europe, it has surfaced in Wales and at the 2012 Olympics in London, England. Also, at stops in Chamonix, the Alps and Paris, France. It’s been to Krakow, Poland; Vienna, Austria; Murcia, Spain and the Swiss Alps.
And travelling down under, the Chronicle has made its way to Brisbane, Canberra and Sydney in Australia as well as Christchurch in New Zealand.
We thank the many travelers who have remembered to pack a copy of the Chronicle on their travel adventures. We look forward to many more intriguing stops for the Chronicle in the coming months ahead now that COVID travel restrictions have been eased.
Do enjoy the return of our Where in the world is the Chronicle? column in this edition while reading about the Bryden-Brown family’s trip to New Zealand this fall.
And bon voyage – the Chronicle’s journey is far from over! Your future travel submissions are most welcome and encouraged!
The Bryden-Brown Family – Aimy, Jason, Jake and Ian (as photographer) took the Manor Park Chronicle to New Zealand in September 2022. In this photo, Aimy and the boys are seen at Huka Falls which feeds Lake Taupo, New Zealand’s largest lake. They spent three wonderful weeks in New Zealand travelling around the North Island with stops in Wellington, Coromandel, Tauranga, Rotorua, Taupo and Napier to name a few. No question the highlight of the trip was attending Aimy’s brother Alex Loiselle’s wedding in Hawkes Bay. After a long, two years of multiple re-scheduling due to the pandemic, the family finally got to meet Alex’s lovely wife Kathryn and her extended family. Certainly, a trip to remember!
