Exploring Portugal: Lisbon to the Algarve

October 6, 2019October 6, 2019 Jess

Roadtrip: Cambridge, Ontario’s Langdon Hall

August 22, 2019August 23, 2019 Jess

Every other year, come April, we trek the three hours to Cambridge, Ontario, where we hole up in the deliciously indulgent Langdon Hall Country Hotel and Spa for just one night. Our excuse for the excess? Anniversary. Pass the champs, please.

We spent time in Wailea, Hana and Lahaina and appreciated each for surprisingly different reasons. Find out which we wish we'd stayed at longer, and what can't-miss stops you need to include on your own visit.

May 2, 2019May 2, 2019 Jess

A 90-minute flight away, New York holds all the glamour and grime that you expect of a mega metropolis. Whether you prefer to be sandwiched among the skyscrapers or soaking up the springtime blooms in city parks, there's a version of NYC that won't disappoint. In 72 hours, we did our best to fit in a bit of everything. It worked.
