    5 Reasons to Stay with Country Inns & Suites

    As I age, I can’t help but lean more towards hotels these days. I’m a married fellow who very much enjoys his privacy. While I still love making detours to random hostels and hitting up campgrounds in the summer, when I’m on the road and require the luxuries of home, one of my go to…

  • Double The Fun with Country Inns & Suites

    Double The Fun with Country Inns & Suites

    I’m a huge fan of travel promotions. Typically the most expensive part of any travel is flights, and accommodations. If you’re like me, you hoard airline rewards points. After you accumulate enough of those bad boys, you earn a free stay, or a free upgrade, or if your score enough, even some free flights. It’s…

    Grilled Cheese, Mill Street Beer, A Museum of Shoes, & a Heckuva Time

    Toronto! I somehow end up in this magnificent city at least a few times a year. Despite meandering through it occasionally, I’ve never been back and not found something unique and new to see, do, or try. The Cross-Canada Travel Blogger Tour, put on by the Canadian Tourism Commission, not only gave me the opportunity…

    Toronto Loves Honeybees!

    The shoo-ing of bees is a rather normal thing for most. Who wants to be stung by some little pest? I too am guilty of cursing at those little, fuzzy, yellow & black bugs. While my ignorant hand is swatting the air aimlessly like a fool, there is a pro bee movement that is bringing…
