THOUSAND ISLANDS, ONTARIO 2002
THOUSAND ISLANDS, ONTARIO 2002
I never liked being in photos. I remember sneaking away my parent’s camera to steal snapshots of scenery during our vacations. I like the simplicity of landscapes without the busyness of people.
I found these pictures a few days ago and thought I should share. I’m hoping I’ll find the rest of my “secret landscapes” soon.

NEW YORK CITY – Review Part I (Hotel)
NEW YORK CITY – Review Part I (Hotel)
Not much sightseeing was done on our first day in New York. Traveling internationally and settling in to our accommodations was exhausting enough. The 33ºC (92ºF) weather only worsened our fatigue. We squeezed in a sushi lunch and bought groceries before retreating to our room at the Affinia Dumont.
The clean and spacious Affinia Dumont hotel is located in east midtown Manhattan on 34th Street (between Lexington Avenue and 3rd Avenue). The staff were friendly and the service was excellent. It is rated 92% on TripAdvisorand 4 out of 5 stars on Expedia, Travelocity, and Hotels.com.
NEW YORK CITY - July 2013
NEW YORK CITY - July 2013
Successfully planning and leading a week long trip to New York City has been my biggest accomplishment of 2013 thus far. That may seem silly, but I have never planned a vacation on my own before. I spent a week comparing flights, accommodations and prices before booking a “hotel + flight plan” from Expedia. After that, I spent another month finessing our trip itinerary, studying maps and researching transit routes. That may sound excessive, but we only had one week to visit over thirty sights by foot and public transit. That’s multiple galleries, museums, bars, parties and shopping districts all across Manhattan, Brooklyn and Long Island.
A calculated plan was essential to conquer this city…

VARADERO, CUBA - Review Part II (Activities, Sights and Nightlife)
After lounging on the beach and mingling with other resort guests for a few days, my friend and I decided to explore the rest of the city. It was only five Cuban pesos for unlimited rides on a sight-seeing tour bus up and down the entire peninsula of Varadero. The bus stops at other resorts, beaches, restaurants and tourist shops. In a few short hours, we had completed the entire loop around the city, and had purchased many souvenirs for our families. I recommend purchasing gifts at the “Plaza América” and downtown Varadero.

VARADERO, CUBA - Review Part I (Resort and Food)
January of this year, I went on my very first all-inclusive vacation!
Cold North American winters and stressful retail jobs inspired my friend and I to book an impromptu escape to Varadero, Cuba with Holasun Holidays. We stayed at the “Sol Sirenas Coral” resort for one week to party, relax and decompress.

Most of us grow up with a preconceived timeline of life events in our head - when we will graduate university, when we will move out of our parent’s home, when we’ll be successful, be rich, have a family…
