Like a network TV show cliffhanger, I left you all in suspense a while back. And just like a network TV show, enough time has past that you don’t even recall what the cliffhanger was. Here is a recap to refresh your memory: In my post about my Summerland, BC getaway with friends this summer, … More Boursin Cheese and Joint Custody of Marley
I did a 1-day itinerary for Santorini so it only seemed fitting to do one for Athens. After all, many people seem to spend limited time in Athens before heading to the Greek beaches although in my option, it is so worthy of more. However, for those with limited time there, here is my best … More Athens: The Best 1-Day Itinerary
Well, that is a grandiose statement I am making…the best 1-day itinerary in Santorini. For Armando and I, it truly felt like the best day so hence, the title. But perhaps…maybe, just maybe, it is? Exercise…on Holidays?! By default, we automatically exercise when we are on holidays. Armando and I love to explore, whether we … More Santorini: The Best 1-day Itinerary
I felt compelled to comment on a recent ESPN’s NHL Player Confidential article that announced that Winnipeg was named as the NHL players’ most-dreaded city to visit. “Most-dreaded city” are pretty harsh words. Why ESPN would take that angle to essentially demote NHL hockey cities with that specific poll question is unclear. But if you … More Winnipeg is Beautiful, No Matter What 21 NHLers Say

While Armando and I love going off the beaten path on many of our adventures, there is still something to be said about going to those touristy places. After all, floods … More To Santorini or Not To Santorini, That is the Question.

I was excited and nervous at the adventure that lay ahead only for it to be cancelled by the school a couple months prior to our departure. Since … More A HONEYMOON IN GREECE AND BAKLAVA
Delayed FlightI just arrived at the Vancouver International Airport and found out my flight is delayed by over 2 hours. My initial reaction was to check for an earlier flight. The check-in agent confirmed there were no earlier flights. I did not stress. I actually embraced the opportunity to hang out in a place that … More Airport Love and Sudoku Hate

Armando and I were elated when Bake49 opened in Yaletown. Could these cheese tarts that were being sold in downtown Vancouver, Canada be as good as the ones that unexpectedly set foot in our lives a couple years back when Armando and I travelled to Japan? I remember that moment like it was yesterday. After … More Cheese Tarts and Marriage Lies
