I have attended select Travel Massive events in Los Angeles for several years now (Los Angeles has a healthy community of such startups) and was pleasantly surprised to meet the founder, Ian Cumming in Bangkok earlier this year.

As we descended onto the twinkling lights of Saskatoon below we flew next to a significant lightning storm. Jagged bolts of lightning lit up massive thunderheads for a moment – alternating between bright white and pink light. This lightning is the cause of hundreds of fires that are burning out of control in the northern part of the province having displaced some 13,000 people. The economy seems to be doing well here according to my driver who moved here several years ago from Toronto to work in the Potash mines. […]

We were in Paradise! There were six of us holed up in a luxury three-bedroom condominium resting at the top of a hill. From our lofty perch we overlooked the most beautiful turquoise water of the southern Caribbean Sea that surrounded the Island of Tobago with a fine-grained sandy beach that stretched in both directions as far as any of us cared to look. We sat on cushy cloth-covered deck chairs at our swimming pool, sipping our second or possibly third cup of strong coffee sweetened with rock-hard clumps of […]

Every Wednesday evening between March and October, Charles Dickens visits the house in which he made an early London home. He must have great affection for it. “Oliver Twist” was born here; so were his two eldest daughters…At 7:30, the lights in the basement library are dimmed, and a long-haired actor in full Victorian dress strides through the open door, marches towards a burgundy-coloured velvet armchair, and regales his “guests,” their “glasses charged” (a sideboard in the lower hallway is set with a selection of red and white wines, included […]

On my way to Stirling Room, strolling down a brick-paved street edged by charming restored Victorian-era buildings of Toronto’s Distillery District, I felt that I was in a previous age – a time when the upper crest of society enjoyed culture and life more fully at a slower pace than our busy life in this modern age. From their times we today can relish the renovated Victorian architecture in its pedestrians-only aura – no modern traffic to mar the atmosphere. The old and the new have merged to produce what […]

In 1966 Toronto, you could smoke in elevators, but men had to doff their hats. In the early 19th century, when Canada was very much British, you could be hanged if caught singing the pro-United States protest song “Yankee Doodle Dandy,”. In the now super-trendy and expensive Yorkville section of the city, folk legends like Joni Mitchell and Gordon Lightfoot got their musical start during that neighborhood’s edgy bohemian days. And that smiling tour guide with the goatee standing next to a cardboard figure of a Canadian Mountie in the […]

When I first married into a Tuscan family, I was stunned at the sheer number of butcher shops that stood under the elegant porticos in Greve-in-Chianti’s gracious piazza. This tiny town in the middle of the Chianti Classico wine country has a score of butchers, many more than I would have thought could possibly earn a livelihood from the miniscule population. Americans may be known for consuming large quantities of beef, but Tuscans are the masters of preparing it. Visitors can savor very expensive cuts, such as the lean but […]

“I must come back and enjoy this golf course!” my colleague sighed as we stood beside the ‘Xanadu Mansion’, the Club House of the Varadero Golf Club – Cuba’s only 18-hole golf course. He went on, “Imagine we can combine a holiday by everyday romping on this beautiful beach with its talcum sand and relaxing waters then play [playing] a game of golf. It will be a perfect vacation for golfers seeking a fulfilling holiday.” My colleague had a point. For vacationers enamoured with golf, Varadero’s Golf Club located in […]
