Living in downtown Toronto I’ve visited The King Edward Hotel (or King Eddy as we locals like to call it!) on numerous occasions and last year during March Break I even took the kids to enjoy their famous Afternoon Tea. With our upcoming travels where we are going to be with the kids 24-7 for […]
Lounging by picturesque Sri Lankan beaches was high on my list of things to do but given the hectic 10 day Sri Lankan road trip I had planned, we only managed to enjoy the beach on a few occasions. One of the most relaxing beach sessions took place at the Nilaveli Beach Resort located near Trincomalee. When […]
Having spent a month travelling around with the kids, I was reflecting on our romantic getaway to the Outaouais region this past November. During our second night on that quick Quebec weekend getaway we checked into the Hilton Lac-Leamy. From the moment I entered this hotel in Quebec I was captivated by the amazing artwork […]
Do you remember when I told you I was on a mission to discover Ontario’s best beaches? We recently explored Norfolk County and it was a beach filled vacation for us and I was truly blown away by the beauty of our Ontario beaches. During that trip we stayed at the soon to be opened […]
During my recent visit to Sri Lanka, I was invited to dine at one of my family’s favourite spots, the Galle Face Hotel. My maternal grandfather worked most of his life at this hotel and so it has always held a special place in our hearts. Growing up I heard many a story about the Galle […]

The last time I was at the resort (for a corporate getaway many many maaaany moons ago) I had stayed at the Westin and over the years […]
During our Boston explorations with Porter Escapes, we were invited to stay at the Fairmont Copley Plaza and there I discovered a hotel that’s oozing with historic charm at every inch of the property. From the moment you enter the Fairmont Copley Plaza, you notice the elegant touches but what really captures your eyes is […]
When your grandmother is visiting you from Sri Lanka, there’s only one way to really entertain her – taking her to an elegant English Afternoon Tea! That was my thinking when I invited my grandmother and my parents to join Little Monkey, Baby Boy and I for Afternoon Tea at the Omni King Edward Hotel in downtown […]
During our escape without the kids, we stayed at the Omni William Penn Hotel in Pittsburgh and given that the property will soon be celebrating their centennial, we wanted to share our thoughts about this historic property in downtown Pittsburgh.
