Every once in a while, I have a “pinch me” moment. That’s exactly what I as doing every couple hours during my stay at the renowned Fogo Island Inn. I was fortunate to spend a luxurious 5 nights at this impressive cultural hub, nearby to what some believe is one of the four corners of earth. What […]
If you have spent a few nights out with me, you will know that I’m a fan of Spanish wine, and so exploring La Rioja was near the top of my list of things to do in Spain. Visiting wine regions with kids seems to be something we’ve done a lot, especially since we frequent one of Canada’s […]

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.
