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.
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.
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.
A Trip Down Memory Lane of New Year’s Past
Wow, can you believe it’s nearly 2012? This has been a short Christmas season, it seems shorter than usual with Christmas and New Years falling on a Sunday. It seems like the holidays just got started and they are already coming to and end
Winter Photos: Cold can be Beautiful
The First Snowfall happened this weekend here in Ontario, Canada and it was beautiful. The world can be stunning in winter. Many people dread the coming snows but we are really looking forward to spending a winter at home in the Great White North. After waking up to a blanket of snow on Friday morning, [...]
Adventure Travel Wrap Up – A Look Back on 2011
As I sit down to write this 2011 Adventure Travel Round up, I am in shock and awe that we really did all these things in a span of 365 days. We just lived a year of adventure travel that I never thought I would have the opportunity to ever do in my life
Using Travel Rewards to Ease the Holiday Money Pinch
During the holiday season money is tight. However, we have a little nest egg that we can use through our travel rewards with American Express to stay at hotels during the festive season.
Toronto Canada, A Scenic Thrill Ride in the Sky
When Samba Days asked us to be Sambassadosr of adventure we didn’t expect to have such a thill flying over Toronto, Canada’s spectacular skyline.
