Sobeys is winding down its Club Sobeys Program — As of September 12, 2014, at Sobeys locations and as of September 10 at Thrifty Foods locations in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, Aeroplan members will no longer be able to convert their Club Sobeys/Club Thrifty Foods points to Aeroplan Miles. I am disappointed, the ratio was nice to earn Aeroplan Miles and I am a big Thrifty’s fans (they are transferring the plan to…

There are numerous ways to get from Vancouver island to Seattle however my desirable crossings is using the Victoria Clipper. When you compare time and cost of the journey the clipper offers good value for both. The Clipper is one of the fastest catamarans. It takes approximately 2.5 hours to complete the journey. The journey not only offers a a…
We certainly do not have any American Express Syncs like they do in the United States but at least this helps a bit! This is a great promo to stack with their existing coupon codes and promotions. I think some of the prices on this website are quite high but if you can find a great deal (that you can…
One of my must haves is free wifi when I am on the road (as a blogger and someone that is always connected). Many hotels offer this but sometimes it could be slower than a Starbucks in Seattle! Hotel WiFi Test is crowdsourcing its speed data by having you test the Wi-Fi in a hotel. It can pin down your location…

This is a beautiful ship – very tasteful and classy but it is not extravagant. There is plenty of room for everyone on board and no major bottlenecks for passengers. You will find official documentation and instructions in Italian, German, French, Dutch, and English. We had some hits with the food on board (veal shanks and roasted salmon and cheesecakes)…
As a Canadian, Aeroplan is my favourite frequent flyer program. I have flown to Hawaii, Ontario and have a BIG trip planned for 2015 (future blog post). I was shocked to hear that they have been around for 30 years! They are constantly evolving and they try to improve the program ( I know many programs are being devalued but…
