Pampered Luxury at Hastings House, Salt Spring Island
I was recently pampered with a two-night stay at luxurious Hastings House Country House Hotel on Salt Spring Island. While I've been to Salt Spring several times, I had yet to enjoy this corner of the island, close enough to downtown Ganges yet far enough away to appreciate the solitude and nature that helps define this Relais & Chateaux property. The welcoming hotel grounds are filled with fragrant flowers and colourful birds, all with a … [Read more...]
Riviera Cancun: Secrets Silversands Resort
Looking at numerous websites, Trip Advisor reviews, and tips from friends, we’re spoiled for choice when it comes to picking a travel destination and resort. My husband and I wanted to visit the Riviera Maya this month, in a location away from the thumping of Cancun or Playa del Carmen.

The Allure of Disney World in Orlando
Having made multiple trips to Florida over the years (the first one was in the middle of the summer in the Everglades - think heat, high humidity and a serious mosquito problem, you would have thought that trip would have turned me off of the sunshine state forever).

No, this year we were going to take it slow – slow down, slow time, and live in the moment. So what did we decide to do? A 14km return walk into the Victorian wilderness. Now stay with me here. It may sound strenuous – and trust me, it was – but what a way to get back to the essentials of life, … [Read more...]
Traveller Information For Visiting Kauai, Hawaii
Kauai is an idyllic and fascinating Hawaiian island which looks remarkably untouched, despite being a favourite with US tourists and also home to over 62,000 people. 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...]

Dubai Tourist Attractions
Where can you ski, sand board, shop till you drop, visit a man made island in the shape of a palm tree - all the while in the middle of the desert? All of this can be accomplished in a single day in Dubai - where in a relatively short amount of time this city has become a gleaming oasis in this part of the Middle East.
