Top 5 U.S. Cities for Foodies (Besides New York)
The U.S. has some serious eats, and we’re covering five of the very best cities to eat in. So why not New York? Frankly, it’s too easy. Everyone knows the Big Apple is a foodie’s paradise, so we wanted to share the spotlight with other culinary highlights across the country.
Busting Some Common Myths About Cuba
For many-many years the Island of freedom was on the top of the list of my must-see places. All these colorful pictures from travel blogs and magazines just kept teasing my imagination on and on. Needless to describe the degree of my excitement when all the tickets were finally booked to Cuba.
We Love Talking Travel
Fresh off our appearance at Travel Bloggers Unite in Italy, we’re already planning our next speaking engagement in our home town of Toronto to speak at the Travel Tales Symposium at Centennial College.
The Gateway to America: Ellis Island
When taking a tour to he Statue of Liberty, make sure to stop at Ellis Island for a fascinating look at American History. The Grand Hall has a different view today than it did for new arrivals to the United States at the turn of the century.
On Our Next Trip To Orlando, We Want to…
In a few weeks my parents will be coming home from Florida. We’re bummed that we didn’t get to visit mom and dad so in honour of their coming home, we wanted to share our favourite things to do in Orlando.
Sunset Over Maman, National Gallery of Canada
It took one hour to capture this shot free of people. Winterlude in Ottawa is a very busy time of year and it is almost impossible to take a photograph of anything with out a crowd gathering in front. Maman is a famous sculpture designed by Louise Bourgeois. It was first unveiled at the Tate Modern [...]
Winterlude. Art, Ice and Family Fun
Our weekend at Winterlude was the perfect getaway to beat the February blues. After a jam packed day one, we decided to take a relaxing stroll through the charming city of Ottawa, Canada
Ice Sculptures at Night at Winterlude Ottawa
There’s no doubt about it. The star attraction of Winterlude in Ottawa, Canada is the Crystal Garden. Especially when the Rideau Canal is closed due to warm weather.
Winterlude in Ottawa
Can you believe we’ve never been to Winterlude? It’s a festival that happens every February in our nation’s capital and Canada’s Adventure Couple has never been!
Social Media Week in Toronto, Will You be There?
Social media is taking over the world and for one week in February Toronto is hosting an event along with several other cities around the world from Feb 13th to the 17th.
Alaska – Thrills, Spills and Stunning Scenery
It is a dream to think that we have made it to both Alaska and Antarctica in 2 years time. But with a little luck and a lot of hard work, we have managed to make our dreams come true.
Shopping Adventure and Visions of Superstardom
Not all adventures have to take place on a glacier or in the Himalayas. We had our own little adventure downtown Toronto at Roots Canada flagship store on Bloor.
A Niagara Weekend Winter Getaway
Not a lot of people think of Niagara Falls in the Winter, but it is a great getaway during the cold months. During the month of January the ice wine festival is going on and Niagara Wineries are open for business. Not only are they open for business, they are running special promotions and events. [...]
A Niagara Winery at Sunset
It was nearing the end of our day as we sampled the various ice wines of the Niagara Winery, Jackson-Triggs. The ice wine festival is going on right now and it is an amazing opportunity to embrace the cold and enjoy the unique wines that are created during the bone chilling freeze of winter.
Niagara Ice Wine Festival
I will admit, I wasn’t a fan of ice wine and while Pam of Spunky Girl Monologues tried to sell me on the idea that I was going to love the Ice Wines of Inniskillin, I had my doubts.
Snowshoeing a Niagara Winery
People are always looking for unique ways to enjoy a wine tasting. We’ve heard of horseback riding from winery to winery, cycling between vineyards, hiring a private bus or limo, or running a marathon between wineries like Marathon Du Medoc in France where athletes taste wine during the 42 km event. However, this is the [...]
The Fairmont Royal York, Toronto’s Grand Dame
I remember coming into Toronto for baseball games as a kid and looking out from the Gardiner Expressway towards famous Royal York Hotel. I imagined what celebrities were staying at the most elegant building in the city. The Queen herself has stayed at the Royal York along with The Dalai Llama, Various world leaders, Playboy playmates and rock legends!
New Year’s Resolutions, Tips to Keeping on Track
It’s that time again. The time when you’ve already given up on your New Year’s Resolutions…that is if you made them. Dave and I are the type of people that make resolutions. We tend to make goals all year long, but we always take our New Year’s goals more seriously. After all it was a [...]
Roots Canada and Ottawa Tourism A Natural Fit
It’s our nation’s capital and an iconic Canadian company together at last! Founded in Toronto Canada in 1973, Roots has become engrained in the Canadian psyche as a part of our national identity. Sure it dressed the American and British Olympic Teams at one point, but is was our stylish athletes making a splash in [...]
Where to Stay – For Free Around the World
We have saved thousands of dollars by seeking out free accommodation on our travels. These opportunities are easier to find than you’d think and have not only saved us money but led us off the beaten track, provided some of our most interesting travel experiences, enabled us to connect with local communities and been a refreshing break from the backpacker trail.
