…ng up to an unbelievable week at the Nimmo Bay resort in British Columbia, Canada. After doing a lot of work for some of my partners I headed to Europe starting in Portugal.

…ll to book an expensive flight. While cheaper, unless you live in Maritime Canada, the ferry can be a big hassle. You must get to a place called Fortune, Newfoundland where there is a daily one-hour ferry to SPM. In order to get there it takes either flying to St. John’s, Newfoundland or taking a series of ferries from Nova Scotia after a long drive from anywhere in the States or even Canada. Trust me, it can be confusing as I seriously looked int…

…ore valuable than the US Dollar (this sent shockwaves of pride all through Canada). I remember thinking take 25% off the prices listed in the menu and it made it so much cheaper and easier to swallow! The same went for my day of skiing at Sunshine Village or when I went Heli-Snowshoeing in Alberta. The prices I was paying were actually 25% lower than what Canadians pay. This was really the first time in years where I felt I was getting value for m…

…lant, Quebec! I flew up to Mont-Tremblant from New York via Toronto on Air Canada. Last summer I actually flew to Montreal and then drove. This was much easier and the Mont-Tremblant airport is really cute, like a little log cabin! For me, a perfect winter weekend in Mont-Tremblant certainly involves food. The very first thing I did upon arrival is head to lunch! I went straight for La Diable Microbrewery, home to the best poutine in Mont-Tremblan…

…e at Leafs games are as good as anywhere in the NHL. Just being at the Air Canada Center (ACC) is a treat for any hockey fan. We were especially lucky because it was two Canadian teams playing on Hockey Night in Canada. It was a pretty thrilling game as Toronto beat the Edmonton Oilers 6-5 in overtime so I was pumped. Toronto is also home to the Hockey Hall of Fame. In my opinion, it is the second best Hall of Fame is sports behind the Baseball Ha…
