When I’m booking a trip, choosing the hotel becomes a Sherlockian task. I’ll spend hours, nay days, researching where to stay. Finding the right accommodations is part of my fun. — Read More —

Looking for a place to recharge your batteries? A place to cleanse your body and soul? Or the perfect spot for your next girls' getaway? Look no further then Sedona, Arizona. I had no idea what I've been missing. — Read More —

I just got back from a week in Maui. It was raining on my last day so the post-vacation shock was somewhat mitigated. I haven't been to the Hawaiian isle in almost eight years. In addition to the stunning natural beauty, I was impressed by the scope of hotel, dining and shopping options. — Read More —

Air travel for the masses has become nothing other than undignified. Given the close proximity we're thrust into with the security line ups, pat downs and on the plane itself, it is an oddly intimate experience that too few people realize is happening with a bunch of complete strangers. It's like everyone has forgotten we're in a public place. Hellooo.....we all see, hear and smell everything you're doing! — Read More —

When someone says "LA", it can mean a lot of things. It could mean you're in Malibu or Santa Monica or Hollywood or the Pacific Palisades or many points in between. The place is sprawling and the traffic is HIDEOUS. When I go I do my best to restrict my movements to one or two neighbouring areas. Anticipating road congestion is part of the planning. (Note to self: Do not fly into LAX at 5pm on a Friday.) — Read More —

Travel company Sunwing made the headlines recently, after keeping 200 passengers stranded at a Cuban airport for hours, without any food or water. I recently had my own travel troubles with Sunwing. — Read More —

A free day in a city away from home is a gift from the gods. For me anyway. And that's assuming we're talking about a city worth leaving the hotel room for. Of course, Montreal is one such place. And then some. — Read More —

Anyone who travels a lot understands the pure agony of being stuck on an airport tarmac for hours. And it's worse, in my opinion, when said delay comes at the end of a long flight (as opposed to the beginning). Last night, Kristina and I were returning from a pre-TIFF event in Toronto. So after 5 hours of flying, we then spent almost 4 HOURS sitting on the tarmac in Vancouver due to a lightning storm, during which airport ground crews are not allowed out. (A sensible rule I'd say!) — Read More —

I am extremely particular about hotels. Well, I'm particular about a lot of products, but hotels are probably number one. I LOVE a great hotel. As in, I have fantasies about living in one. I see myself writing a book and letting a few months slip by, somewhere like the Beverly Hills Hotel in LA, Corinthia in London or Palazzo Manfredi in Rome. No grocery shopping to do, a freshly made bed every day and best of all, room service! — Read More —
