Thermëa Review: Running Hot and Cold in Winnipeg
I am not the best at relaxing. That’s not true. I can do active relaxation—yoga, hiking, watching a movie. Meditation or lounging on the beach, on the other hand, are difficult. I had heard about Thermëa, the new Nordic-style spa that opened in Winnipeg a couple of years ago. It looked like a big deal, and people seemed to be buzzing about it, but I put it in the category of lounging on the beach and dismissed it. As with so many of my assumptions, I was wrong! Thermëa has a different approach to relaxation. […]
Tag Along Travel Year in Review: 2016
It’s time to say so-long to 2016, but as I head into what’s shaping up to be another eventful year in tag-along business travel, it’s worth reviewing this past year’s destinations. As usual, I didn’t plan to go to many of these destinations. One of the things I like about the kind of business travel Steve does is that it’s a bit unpredictable. That means opportunities to visit places I’d never think of on my own. […]
What to do on a business tag-along trip to Winnipeg
I’ve written about several outstanding under-the-radar cities in my adventures tagging along on Steve’s business travel. However, until Expedia.ca asked me to collaborate on a post about Winnipeg, I hadn’t thought about what I would do on a tag-along trip to my own under-the-radar city. I was surprised at how hard it was to narrow down the options that could fit into the timeframe of the typical business trip. […]
Seeking out east coast clichés in Newfoundland and Labrador
On our vacation to Canada’s eastern provinces this past June, we were probably most looking forward to visiting Newfoundland and Labrador. It’s a funny thing, as frequent travellers we usually steer away from the usual must-do attractions, but on this trip we wanted to experience all the clichéd stereotypes this unique province is known for. […]
Review: Toronto’s Union Pearson Express Train
Last year, Toronto launched a slick new way to get from Pearson International Airport to the city’s downtown. The Union Pearson Express (UP Express) train had a bit of a rocky reception as locals rejected its initial high fare, which has since been lowered significantly. As frequent visitors to The Big Smoke, we were eager to check out the UP Express to see what all the fuss was about. […]
How to get the most from a short vacation break
Steve and I had a getaway to Ontario over Labour Day long weekend to go sailing with family. It was one of the best holidays we’ve taken despite it only being a few days. It felt like we had been away a lot longer and the holiday afterglow stretched into the week after our return. Research supports that holidays don’t have to be long to have a restorative effect if you know how to get the most from a short vacation break. […]
