Dog Sledding in Canada
Blog: Brilliant Tips Travel Blog - 2 November 2009
If you're looking for an outdoor winter experience that's out of the ordinary, try a Canadian dog sled adventure. A truly unique outdoor winter activity, dog sledding is Canada’s traditional and oldest mode of winter transportation. Most people find the feeling of commanding their own dog sled team along trails through pristine valleys and over mountain ridges to be very inspirational. A truly Canadian activity in every way, dog sledding is a fun and interesting way to enjoy winter landscapes and is also a pretty good physical workout.

Hiking Grouse Mountain in Vancouver
Blog: Atlas Parasite - 2 November 2009
American thanksgiving is something we should try to import to Europe instead of Halloween. True! Not only do you get to eat well and a lot (although according to the stereotypes, that’s not something to be surprised about) but you also get this long weekend to do whatever you want or go wherever you feel [...]Rating: 0.0/10 (0 votes cast)

Mont Tremblant, Quebec
Blog: Canada's Adventure Couple - 24 October 2009
We love to snowboard. It is the best way to pass the long winters. It actually makes the cold weather quite enjoyable. There is nothing like racing down the hill on a sunny day. One of our favorite mini holiday destinations is Mont Tremblant. There is just enough adventure mixed in with the decadence of luxury hotels, fine wine and great food.

Beautiful Quebec City, A Winter Wonderland
Blog: Canada's Adventure Couple - 23 October 2009
There is no city more beautiful in the middle of Winter than Quebec City. Dave filmed there a few years ago for the Christmas movie Blizzard with Whoopie Goldberg and Christopher Plumber. If it is a magical enough setting for a Hollywood holiday film, it is certainly magical enough for us to spend a few days there in the heart of the cold season.

A "must see" for any wildlife enthusiasts, travelers are able to view these magnificent creatures up close from the comfort and safety of a purpose built Tundra Buggy.

Making a Splash at Lake Louise
Blog: Family Friendly Hotel, Resort, Suite Reviews: Travel Savvy Mom » blog - 21 October 2009
It has happened to me before. The first time was at the Statue of Liberty. The second time was Mount Rushmore. I partially blame videographers and their camera tricks, but mostly I blame my imagination. It tends to believe things are much more massive than they actually are.

Canoe Algonquin Park, Canada’s Wilderness
Blog: Canada's Adventure Couple - 14 October 2009
It is a badge of honor for anyone living in Ontario Canada. High Schools send students on a trip at the end of each year, cub scouts go on an annual canoe route and dad's around the province take their sons and daughters out for a week of bonding on one of the may routes within the 2000 km of optional waterways.

My Home Town, Toronto for Matador U
Blog: Canada's Adventure Couple - 9 October 2009
I will never forget that beautiful winters day in 1991. Dave and I were graduating from college and we were moving to Toronto together from the town of Oakville. I was a small town girl growing up in Otterville. Dave was my big city hero raised Burlington Ontario. We fell in love with Toronto’s West end that day and 18 years later we are still here

Trekking the Athabasca Glacier on our Rocky Mountain Adventure Drive
Blog: Canada's Adventure Couple - 16 September 2009
It was sad to see our Rocky Mountain Adventure end. We really enjoyed ourselves with the gang from General Motors and the other bloggers and writers in the group. But it was our last day driving the Equinox and it was time to head out for our final adventure. We were going to walk on the Athabasca Glacier at the Columbia Ice Fields.

Canoe Lake Louise in Banff National Park, Alberta
Blog: Canada's Adventure Couple - 14 September 2009
While paddling Dave commented on what an "Authentic Canadian Moment" we were having - Canoeing in the Rocky's on the majestic Lake Louise. He managed to take some great views of the Glacier from a different angle than what others were stuck with being in front of the Chateau Fairmont. Also, looking back towards the hotel was quite beautiful and having the structure in front of the hills and forests gave a great perspective of just how large the land is.

Climbing In Canmore, Alberta With the Chevy Equinox Adventure Drive
Blog: Canada's Adventure Couple - 13 September 2009
We have always wanted to climb in the Rocky Mountains. Finally, the day had come on the Chevy Equinox Adventure Drive. On Day one, Dave and I drove ourselves in our spiffy 2010 Equinox to Canmore where we met James; our guide from Yamnuska Mountain Adventures. It is the premier climbing school in the Rocky's so we were in very good hands.

Chevy Equinox Rocky Mountain Adventure – Part 1; An Overview
Blog: Canada's Adventure Couple - 12 September 2009
Alberta is home to simply the most beautiful mountain range we have ever seen on the planet. Driving north from Calgary towards the Rocky Mountain range was breathtaking. We could only come up with one word over and over. Another writer on the drive Chris, used the word Dramatic to describe the drive while we were eating dinner the first night and he was right. Once those rocky mountains appeared we just couldn't get the word "dramatic" out of our heads.

When Toronto meets Istanbul
Blog: EZGuler - 12 September 2009
Just like a carefully woven, ornate Turkish kilim, Toronto has been blessed with the colourful woolen threads of diversity. People from all over the world collide as they call this zestfully dynamic city of lights their home. In a sense, to know this city, is to know the world. So much of our daily life, our reality and what we love about our city parallel what other people three thousand kilometers away from here love and enjoy about their own cities. In a way, we are experiencing a different version of the same moments.

Quebec City Baby Travel Guide: Eating
Blog: Have Baby Will Travel - 11 September 2009
We enjoyed our fair share of poutine; we shopped at the market for staples for our room; but we ate in a lot of restaurants. Way more than we’ve done on previous trips… In Quebec City, even the poshest bistro welcomes children, but we didn’t go there. We did manage to avoid fast food, and stuck with [...]

It is the first of the month and this tradition is catching on.

Ode To A Canadian Appalachian Spring

Like me, now that summer is peaking, many others will be escaping the city swelter and seeking out campsites and cottages throughout this captivating region. Even an afternoon's drive through the greenery is change of scenery enough, if that's all the time one has.

Wildlife Wednesday; The Wolves of Haliburton Forest
Blog: Canada's Adventure Couple - 19 August 2009
About 3 hours north of Toronto way up in Central Ontario is one of our favorite places in the Province. Haliburton forest is a nature lovers dream. A place for hiking, mountain biking and canoeing in the summer and cross country skiing and dog sledding in the winter. But it is the Haliburton Forest Wild Life and Reserve that has kept us coming back.

Ville de Québec avec un bébé (Québec City With Baby)
Blog: Have Baby Will Travel - 19 August 2009
With every trip we take with our daughter, I get less and less concerned about how she’ll handle the journey, and how to keep her occupied en route. This was trip number 6 for her, and at 3.5-years-old, she’s a great little traveler. Because I was a big chicken (and thankfully I was because that [...]
