A resort so spectacularly nice, I visited twice – The Crane Resort, Barbados
This is a guest post by Jen's friend, Dara, who traveled with her to the beautiful Crane Resort in Barbados.

Celebrating 110 at the King Edward Hotel
There are a few iconic buildings in Toronto but when you walk through the doors of the 110 year old King Edward Hotel, you can just feel the opulence and imagine all the incredible stories of grandeur (and gasp!...scandal) that have occurred throughout the years.

Between Dragonkind and Us

Jet Lag
I'm kinda surprised how easily I get jet lag when I travel. I need a day (or RedBull) to adjust when I get to my destination and if I'm going to somewhere beautiful like Europe, I really don't want to waste a day catching up on my zzz's. There's been some talk about having proper LED lighting to … [Read more...]

I had the good fortune of going to Horseshoe Resort this past weekend to be a part of their Girlfriend Getaway package. I flew into the lobby from a full day of getting better acquainted with my van, to be told that the clairvoyant was going to be starting promptly in 5 minutes. I love that … [Read more...]
