We dined early at the popular Joe Fortes Seafood and Chop House in downtown Vancouver, BC prior to taking in the much-anticipated Pearl Jam concert at Rogers Arena (the first show of their phenomenal Dark Matter Tour). At Pearl Jam “Dark Matter” show – Rogers Arena, Vancouver (May 2024) We weren’t […]
Narcoosee’s is a lovely seafood restaurant located at the edge of Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, right on the Seven Seas Lagoon with great views of Cinderella’s castle at Magic Kingdom.

Daniel Boulud’s Boulud Sud (NYC) is a restaurant located in New York City’s Upper West Side. It’s an easy five minute stroll from Lincoln Center where we were attending the opera (Turandot) later that evening. The show began at 8:45 pm, so we booked a very early dinner (5:45) in order to linger and savor […]
Deck the Halls… We returned to one of our favourite Canadian holiday destinations this past December, The Post Hotel (Lake Louise, Alberta). Believe it or not, it was our first time there in the winter. While not technically the Christmas holidays at least according to the school calendar – more mid-month – the spirit of […]
You may not be able to see an entire city in three days, but you can go a long way in experiencing the highlights. We found a recent trip to Seattle cut short by circumstance, but were able to pack in a surprising amount of activity without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. Of course, to get […]
