Is that ” Free ” Drinks Package Really Worth It?
All Inclusive holidays have been around now for a while. I think they probably started life in the Caribbean where sometimes it s difficult to get to many bars & restaurants, especially as some of the hotels are set on large, sprawling estates in quite remote areas.

Well it`s August 1st today which means summer is almost over, but then we haven`t really had a summer this year as the weather has been so bad. I noticed last night as I let the dog out before he went bed that it was nearly dark, it was only 9.15pm! Dark nights are approaching […]

Calgary – an oil city on the middle of Canada with not much going on! I`ve heard that said often about the city but, having now been there, there is a lot more to Calgary than you might think. Calgary is in Alberta and is a Cosmopolitan city that does owe its growth […]

Vancouver was amazing but the best was yet to come and another early start meant, for once, I was grateful for the effects of jet lag as Rocky Mountaineer involves early morning starts. We gathered in reception around 6.45am and were swiftly and efficiently transported by coach to the railway station to start our […]

Time passes quickly when you are enjoying yourself and last 10 days or so have passed in a flash. The last Wednesday in April and my flight from Heathrow to Vancouver was the beginning of one of the best trips I have ever been lucky enough to travel on and I really don’t know where […]

Next Wednesday will see me embark on a fabulous journey, something that will be on many people`s Bucket List, the Rocky Mountaineer Western Explorer from Vancouver to Calgary. I have been to Canada once before on a cruise to Alaska on Diamond Princess and it was a wonderful experience. The Alaskan scenery was breathtaking with […]
