I don’t eat to live, I live to eat.
This morning, we wanted to get some gym time in since we’ve been stuffing our faces with good food. We started with a small snack/breakfast at the hotel’s canteenM. They had a buffet option but we elected for the a-la-carte as we only wanted a small meal before our workout. There was plenty of seating… Continue reading Boston Day 4
We took our time getting up this morning as we did not have any specific plans until later this afternoon. We used the T for the first time and headed to the South End. Our brunch reservations weren’t until later so we stopped by Render Coffee first. Our friend, Aimee, highly recommended this coffee shop… Continue reading Boston Day 3
For breakfast this morning, we went to the famous Mike & Patty’s, a cute cozy sandwich shop. They only had very limited seating and it was very crowded when we arrived at 9am on a Saturday. Luckily, the staff there is very efficient and it cleared out quickly. Many people were getting take-out so we… Continue reading Boston Day 2
After an early but short flight from Ottawa to Boston, we arrived at Boston Logan International Airport at around 8:30am. We were very impressed by the seemingly new airport. There were very clear signs to lead us to the waiting area for Uber/Lyft and it was very organized with assigned parking spots for pick up… Continue reading Boston Day 1
This spring, we went on a memorable family and friend cruise from Vancouver to Alaska. For this trip, we went with the Golden Princess with Princess Cruises. I’ve been on two cruises in the past (one was actually roundtrip to Alaska from Vancouver in 2009). In general, I feel that this experience is comparable to… Continue reading Alaskan Cruise with Princess Cruises: All Aboard the Golden Princess
Culture I’ve always been reluctant to travel to the States since I feel that is it too similar culturally to Canada. It doesn’t feel like I’m experiencing something new. This trip made me appreciate these similarities. The currency was easy to understand (although it would have been even easier if our dollar was stronger and… Continue reading Trip Reflection: Los Angeles
Bye bye convertible! All good things come to an end as we embark on our last day in LA. First, we had to return the convertible. Aaron was very sad to let it go, and even contemplated purchasing one, but it doesn’t make sense to have one in Ottawa, where more than half the year… Continue reading Los Angeles Day 7: Beverly Hills, Barnsdall Art Park, Silver Lake

Photo credit: Aaron.Getty CentreAaron had planned to do a road trip up to the mountains today and our first stop was at the Getty Centre, which we did not get to see yesterday. Like the Getty Villa, entrance is free but parking is $15 ($10… Continue reading Los Angeles Day 6: Getty Centre, Mount Wilson, Silver Lake
Today, we drove over to snazzy Beverly Hills to return our trusty Yaris for a more snazzy convertible, A.K.A. Aaron’s happy day. He planned out a whole nice scenic route to Malibu. Unfortunately, we were running late so we had to cut our drive short, since we had already made a lunch reservation at Nobu.… Continue reading Los Angeles Day 5: Malibu, Getty Villa, Santa Monica

First, we had lunch at Alcove Cafe and Bakery. It had a large patio, so it was a great place to soak in some… Continue reading Los Angeles Day 4: Los Feliz, Mount Hollywood, Griffith Observatory
