Hotels By City: Cheap Hotels, Hotel Guides & Hotel Blogs

Vancouver is renowned for being a lush, green city. With the kids out of school, and tourist season kicking into full gear (if you doubt me, just hit Robson street on a Saturday afternoon), I thought it would be a good time to do a series on our wonderful parks.

Looking outside today, it's hard to imagine the long sunny days of summer, but I assure you, they are on their ...

For certain, sushi is one of the trendiest meals on the westcoast. Apart from being stylish, sushi is a healthy choice for anyone. Fresh vegetables, fish, and rice come together to form a very low fat, high nutrient meal. And if you opt for maki (rolls) you get the added nutrients from the nori (seaweed).

My current favourite for take out sushi is Ogenki Sushi on main street. ...

Last night I finally have the pleasure to taste the food from Chef Rob Feenie's very own creation "Feenie's".

Feenie's is a total different atmosphere from Lumiere, THE upscale French cuisine restaurant. Feenie's is very casual, with down to earth menu (when I mean down to earth, I probably mean $$ more than the actual food menu). There is no 11 courses menu which takes 4 hours to finish ...

Has anyone heard about an infrared sauna or, better yet, tried one out? I am here to tell you all about it.

Available at The Spa at Fitness World North Shore, the Far Infrared Sauna is revitalization for a weary mind and body. On your own or with a partner, you sit in a close-quartered wooden stall with glass door. At your back, legs and front, vents smoothly blow out infrared heat ...

I have wanted to write about The Reef on Main Street and King Edward Ave. for couple months now. Finally get around to it this morning.

Main Street is full of little trendy shops, consignment stores, and has many flavours to offer. There is the delicious bakery called Liberty, the mouth watery God-Father like Cipriano Italian restaurant, up-scale and hip Crave and Caribbean HOT The Reef.

I am not very "wordy" when ...

The weekend brunch in Vancouver is as common as the construction cranes. And nothing beats a relaxing brunch, right? But, first you'll have to line up, then wait for your server and hope that he or she won't forget about your table. Perhaps you get the feeling that the owners are rushing you out of your table and out the door. ...

I have been to many spa locations, and Spa Utopia in North Vancouver is the one I worship dearly. I have been to the one in Pan Pacific, but it is just not the same.

I started to go Spa Utopia approximately 2 years ago when I discovered that my extended medical covered massages performed by Registered Massage Therapist. All I had to do is to ask for the receipt with ...

Besides all the shopping scene in Vancouver, let us not forget about the Seattle Premium Outlet which is approximately 1 1/2 hour away from here!

When comes to shopping, I am a loner. I like the tactic of 'get-in & get-out'. Therefore, this past Saturday, out of impulse, I drove myself down to the Seattle Premium Outlet. I took out $500 USD and bravely went over to the US custom ...

Last year we went to a free one day open house event at the North Vancouver Outdoor School. Though slightly rainy, we enjoyed a free day filled with paper making, kayaking, archery, and roasting bannock. All of this at a school campus nestled in the trees; beautiful and peaceful.

This year promises to be a beautiful sunny day, and the event will be even more spectacular.

Then event will ...

Hey ladies,
As promised, here is another one of my ongoing descriptions of places for girls who like girls.
Now it may not seem like much, being just a local neighbourhood pub, but Avantis on the Drive has a lot to be said for it and I will say it here for you:
o New flat screens TVs for watching your favourite sports & a juke box
o Very reasonably priced and decent pub food ...
