Fes was the first major Moroccan city we visited. Unsure of what to expect, we hopped a train in Tangiers for what turned out to be a 6 hour journey to Fes. Our family would be staying in a GuestToGuest home located just inside the walls of the Fes Medina, one of the largest car-free urban […]
Ronda is a city unlike any other place I have visited. Located near the Spanish cities of Grenada, Málaga, and Seville, Rondo features a number of attractions that make it an ideal place for visitors to spend a few days away from the urban centers of the Andalusia Region in Southern Spain. We had originally […]

As you may recall, we won a weekend in Hamilton recently and I promised to head back […]
We visited Newfoundland this past August and as many may know, July/August is pretty much the best month to visit the Island. Having been to St. Johns in the middle of winter, I was very excited to head back during the summer months and best of all, the hubs’ entire extended family was there to […]
Back in 2009, Cape Breton Island made it to number 3 on Travel and Leisure magazine’s reader list of the best islands in the world. Considering the competition, which included Bali and the Galapagos islands, the ranking was a point of pride for Cape Bretoners. Assailed by high unemployment after the collapse of the fishing, […]
