New York by Helicopter

The next time you get out to New York and are looking for things to do there, seriously consider a helicopter tour. To fully get a sense of the scale of Manhattan and the surrounding areas, it’s best to see it by air [...]

New York in October

New York in October. Always a solid trip. How much has been written about this city? It is the most famous in the world. There’s probably more content in cyber space about New York than any other city. I am always excited about about travel, especially to New York. My grandfather got out there [...]

Boston in October

If you asked me to name one of my favorite places to visit – it HAS to be Boston. We had never been there before and this place is fantastic!
History, culture, great food, architecture and lots to do. It’s a good thing we walked a lot, because we ate and drank a lot.
We stayed [...]

A Beautiful Wedding In Montreal

I love weddings. This is a post about an incredibly well done wedding of some old friends. We combined the visit to Montreal with some vacation time.
Having been to many weddings and receptions, I must admit that this was probably the most beautiful and romantic wedding I can recall having been to.

Most of the guest list had flown in from western Europe – predominantly Holland, the UK and the Netherlands, since the bride [...]

Hong Kong

Hong Kong in July.  Hot, humid and fun.  Hong Kong is a digital photographers paradise with all the light, textures and rich detail you could ask for.  Plus – it’s a great place to buy electronics because they are so inexpensive.
This is a photo and text summary of a recent trip with the top 5 [...]

A Visit to Hillside Winery in Naramata

Last weekend we took a drive down to the south Okanagan valley here in western British Columbia, where some great wine is made on the Naramata Bench. We love to get down there at least 3 times a year and taste wine. The scenery here in the Okanagan valley [...]

Things to do in Chicago

Frank Sinatra made a good point about Chicago.
It is a very fun town and it’s my kind of town. I’ve been there many times in just about every season and June is the best time to go. It’s like a mini New York, but with a slower pace and friendlier people.
The temperatures are just [...]

Ritz Carlton Laguna Beach Hotel Review

The destination of choice on a recent winter vacation was Laguna Beach, just south of Los Angeles.
Being huge fans of the arts, we’d heard that Laguna Beach was a great place to visit for just that. The hotel of choice was the Ritz Carlton Laguna Beach.
Actually – I think it’s called the Laguna Niguel. [...]

Squamish Chief Hike

Here are some shots from a hike that we did up the Chief in Squamish. The Chief is part of the Shannon Lake Provincial Park here in British Columbia, where Shannon Falls are. The Falls are worth seeing even if you don’t do the hike. It’s a fairly easy hike with a few [...]

The Gun Store Las Vegas

If you ever get to Las Vegas, there’s no question that you’ll have lots of entertainment options competing for your dollar. Having been there a number of times for both work and pleasure, there’s one place that I recommend you try at least once: The Gun Store. Yep, The Gun Store Las Vegas.
Now, you [...]

Road Trip: Porsche Boxster and BMW M5

Here’s a trip I did with my neighbor: A road trip to bring The Beast (a beautiful white, 2001 BMW e39 M5) home from Spokane, WA. It was one of the more killer road trips I’ve done in a long time. The weather was perfect. Did the whole drive round trip in one day [...]
