Hard Luck Canyon is a unique geological formation of sandstone banks and cliffs carved through the sandstone layers some 11,000 years ago.

With the ease of coronavirus restrictions and a need to go somewhere, we decided to take the ultimate road trip to Kelowna from Edmonton.

Like millions of travelers, our Mediterranean vacation last month was cancelled and we are now navigating through the unknown for refunds.

Like many of you, I manage the travel miles and points accounts for my entire family. My favourite and up until recently, frequently used airline loyalty program is Aeroplan . After all, Air Canada is the largest airline in Canada and a founding member of Star Alliance, which includes Air New Zealand, Lufthansa, United Airlines, and many others. In addition to Star Alliance carriers, Air Canada partners with a number of major airlines that aren’t Star Alliance like Cathay Pa

One thing my kids and I love to do regularly is relive a travel experience by sorting through our vacation photos. I am one of those moms who take a million photos trying to document every second, and when I return home, print a thousand or so to put into photo albums. The problem is I am usually missing from half of those photos because I am the one behind the camera! We do the most common approach where we ask a stranger to snap a photo for us, but the chances of that stran

Being Edmonton born and raised, I sometimes forget that West Edmonton Mall , where I worked part-time throughout high school and visit regularly several times a year, is the largest shopping mall in North America and once the largest shopping mall in the world. The mall is home to more than 800 stores and services, eight world-class attractions, two hotels, a movie theatre, and over 100 dining venues. Disclaimer: this blog post contain affiliate links.

In June, my mom had a cousin and his family visit all the way from Melbourne, Australia. It was their first time to Canada and they wanted to explore the Canadian Rocky Mountains. My mom has never been comfortable driving the highway so I volunteered to be the designated driver and tour guide for a weekend. After all, the Icefields Parkway is one of the world's most scenic driving tours. Disclaimer: this blog post contain affiliate links. I will earn a small commission (at no

One thing I discovered early in my research was that lodging in Boston is one of the most expensive in the United States! Since there were six in our travelling party (my parents, Radwin, myself and our two kids), we decided to share accommodations and the rental of a minivan in an effort to save where we can. (In hindsight, it was probably not the best idea considering my parents and I... e clash when in close proximity for more than a few days.) Disclaimer: this blog post c

Boston, Massachusetts is a fun and lively place to visit. There is plenty in Boston to keep you and your kids entertained for days. There are also several easy day trips from Boston that are less than three hours from the city center. Here’s what we did during our week in Boston: Thomas Land Thomas Land is a themed amusement park located within Edaville Family Theme Park in Carver, Massachusetts (approximately 75km south of Boston). My six-year-old son is a die-hard fan of

My six-year-old son is a die-hard fan of Thomas the Tank Engine. He is obsessed with Thomas & Friends and owns everything Thomas—trains, books, toys, bedding, and tons of clothes down to underwear and socks (yes, this mom feeds his obsession). So my husband and I thought it would be a cool idea to surprise him and his sister with a visit to Thomas Land , an amusement park located within Edaville Family Theme Park in Carver, Massachusetts (approximately 75km south of Boston)

The day after we returned from our mid-week ski trip to Banff , my kids and I set out on another road trip, a day trip to Drumheller with their godmother and my best friend, Christine. Drumheller, also known as Dinosaur Capital of the World, is famous for all the dinosaur bones that have been found in the area. The town is home to Canada’s only museum dedicated to paleontology and the world's largest dinosaur. For those who aren't dinosaur enthusiasts, Drumheller is still w

A couple of our friends invited us to join them on a mid-week ski trip to the Canadian Rockies . We left Edmonton Monday morning just after 10am, stopped for a short washroom and beverage break at Tim Horton’s in Gasoline Alley, stopped for a longer lunch break in Calgary, and made it into Canmore shortly before 4pm.
