Pampered Luxury at Hastings House, Salt Spring Island

March 1, 2015 by Ariane Colenbrander1 Comment

The welcoming hotel grounds are filled with fragrant flowers and colourful birds, all with a … [Read more...]

February 6, 2015 by Lauren H.Leave a Comment

Part of the island's natural looking charm can be attributed to the rule that no buildings can be erected on Kauai that are taller than a coconut tree, so the luxury hotels, shops, homes and other buildings are never tall enough to spoil the view, with tourist accommodation taking … [Read more...]

October 14, 2014 by Richard Bangs1 Comment

The Mad Hatter: “Have I gone mad?” Alice Kingsley: “I’m afraid so. You’re entirely bonkers. But I’ll tell you a secret. All the best people are.” The Mad Hatter: “There is a place.

Canada: The Road Less Traveled

August 3, 2014 by Preethi Chandrasekhar2 Comments
