My recent trip to Sandals Ochi in Ocho Rios, Jamaica began with a two hour bus ride from the Montego Bay airport to the resort. I was exhausted from a long day of travel, but I willed myself awake so I could soak in the views along the way. It was my first trip to Jamaica and I didn't want to miss one second of it. Aside from beautiful foliage which I hoped was the rain forest but I've since learned was actually wet forest (you can find the rain forest in other parts of Jamaica), there … [Read more...] about Living the Jamaican Dream

The Kids are Restless #GreatWolfLodge
I think we're all pretty tired of the cold and snow, but we show it in different ways. My husband and I sigh when we look outside and choose not to venture into it unless we have to.

Eaton Chelsea Toronto: Make it Your Toronto Home Base

Thankfully, we have a number of amazing places to visit right here in Ontario. Last week we snuck away to the Eaton Chelsea in Toronto, Ontario for a couple of days of fun. At the Eaton Chelsea Toronto we had two rooms: a Deluxe Double room and an attached Parlour Room. The couch in the parlour room pulled out into a bed and we were also provided a cot so that … [Read more...] about Eaton Chelsea Toronto: Make it Your Toronto Home Base
