I am a big fan of wax museums. I always have fun and learn a few different things while visiting. We had the chance to visit the Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in Sydney Australia on a trip this past winter. I went with the whole family as I feel this is a good family activity to do. We did the entire exhibit in about…
I have had the pleasure of staying at the Westin Wall Centre, Vancouver Airport (YVR) many times. It is one of my favourite hotels in Vancouver. It is located close to YVR with a free shuttle, you have a great lounge to watch planes land, close to River Rock Casino and the Canada Line to get downtown, a nice pool and…
I loved our stay in Sydney and our trip to the Sea Life Sydney Aquarium was very interesting. It is conveniently located in Darling Harbour just north of the Pyrmont Bridge. My wife and my 2 kids went in. A child is considered 4 – 15 years. 3s and under enter SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium free of charge (great policy). It was very…
Early in 2015, I took several months parental leave and enjoyed a trip with my family to Australia/New Zealand. We stayed for 10 nights at the Four Points by Sheraton (almost felt like we moved in) and had an amazing time. The location is perfect (close to Darling Harbour, Pyrmont Bridge, and about 40 minute walk to the Opera House,…
After living in Victoria, BC for the last 5 years I finally had the opportunity to do one of the top best things to do in Victoria British Columbia – have afternoon tea at the grand Empress Hotel! Every person we’ve had come visit from out of town raves about experiencing high tea at the Empress. They either know someone that has been or…
Being the father of 2, I enjoy activities that keep them learning and occupied. If you are in the Miami area, I have just the attraction for you (after some time at their beaches). We had the pleasure of going to the Miami Children’s Museum (a non-profit educational institution located in the city of Miami, Florida). Our daughter had a…
Perhaps one of my favourable lounge experiences yet is the Maple Leaf Lounge in Toronto. Keep in mind business travel was not on the agenda when I spent my time waiting for my connecting flight from Victoria, BC – Thunder Bay, ON. As a solo traveller with an infant there are different criteria that parents need. Since having my baby…
Never again are we going to Jamaica! These were the words my wife and I said to ourselves after taking a Montego Bay tour. My wife and I enjoy to travel and see new things but if you looked are our house you would rarely see any trinkets that we bought from our travels (we feel we would rather spend our…
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…
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)…
