Blackcomb Mountain, British Columbia
Blackcomb Mountain is one of Canada’s top ski resorts. It has countless runs for all levels and beautiful conditions for skiing and boarding.
You probably already know that. Here’s what you don’t know.

Cirque Du Soleil, Downtown Disney, WDW

UBC Botanical Garden and Centre for Plant Research
Located on the scenic grounds of the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, the UBC Botanical Garden and Centre for Plant Research is not one of the most popular tourist attractions in the city, but perhaps it should be. Not only is it beautiful, it also has an educational …
Universal Studio’s Halloween Horror Nights
Honestly I wish that I could give this a good review, but I’m afraid that I can’t.
The first time that I went to Universal Studio’s Halloween Horror Nights, it really was something to remember. It was the year that they had “The Director”. It was spectacular! As …
Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada
If you ask me which park is the best park in the world, you have asked me a very easy question, indeed. It’s Banff National Park for me nothing else ever comes close!

Fairfield Condo System
When I first fell for (bought into) a time share, the result of doing so was that my entire vacation was almost ruined. What was I thinking? I bought into the “points” system from Fairfield, and it turns out that my thinking was not so off.
The point …
Scarborough Bluffs in Toronto, Canada
The Scarborough Bluffs were named after the famous chalk hills in Scarborough, England by Elizabeth Simcoe, wife of the first lieutenant governor of Upper Canada. But these days, everybody who’s familiar with this place loves to call it simply as Bluffer’s Park.
As such, the term conjures the image …
The Penguin Plunge Jamestown RI
On January 1st at exactly 12 Noon, there is no place I’d rather be than at Mackerel Cove in Jamestown, RI to witness hundreds of people jump into the icy cold waters of Narragansett Bay. They come in swimsuits, some bikinis and some with bow ties and top …
Traveling to Melbourne
If USA has New York and Canada has Vancouver, Australia has Melbourne. The common denominator for all cities is the signature reputation for being the famous shopping precincts.

Strensham services
Strensham services are situated on the M5 motorway south of Worcester, just north of the junction with the M50 motorway. This makes them a very useful stop for drivers travelling between Birmingham and Bristol or south Wales. I like the fact that when travelling northbound, there is a half-mile …
Hockey Hall of Fame

First 3 bus route, Worcestershire

First off, the path is (appropriately) named: the Kit Carson Walking tour …
Viena City (Austria)
Hi, i’m going to talk you about a long trip to Viena I did some time ago.
First, Vienna it’s cold, reaaaaaly cold, especially in December when it snowed almost every day. The city itself is expensive compared to Prague or Budapest, but it’s more worth of a visit.
I arrived …

Cabgan Island, Barobo, Surigao del Sur, Philippines

Miami Seaquarium
Earlier in the summer, I took a vacation to Miami with two of my best friends and we spent part of the day at Miami’s Seaquarium. I call the seaquarium an answer to Orlando’s Seaworld without the rides. I liked seaquarium because it was exactly Orlando seaworld except they …
Custer’s Last Stand-the Battle of the Little Bighorn
For me as a Canadian, who didn’t learn much about the Battle of the Little Bighorn, General Custer, or really any U.S. history, I was very eager to visit the Custer’s Last Stand Reenactment Site near Hardin, Montana. I was traveling across the northern U.S. States and insisted to …

Sky Deck Chicago IL
The Sears Tower “Sky Deck” In Chicago is a waste of money. It’s no where near worth what it costs, unless you have your military ID then you get in for free. You have to watch a movie before you go up, it’s really educational and great for kids, …
