Octoberfest 2014
We've had a hectic few months so it has taken me a while to find time to finish a blog on my trip to Octoberfest but better late than never right?! Dayna still hasn't developed much of a love for beer so she decided to opt out of the trip given Octoberfest has just a...
Birthday at West Midlands Safari Park
Matt gets so excited about surprises that he can't help but let details slip. That, and we have a joint credit card so I saw a transaction for a rental car and asked him what it was about. To his credit, he didn't give much anyway...
The Perfect Food Tour of New York
The first time I visited New York I was 21 years old, had just finished university and was living off my credit card and bank overdraft. I still managed to have a great time but the most gourmet food I tasted on that trip was probably a $2 hot dog. I had a...
New York, New York

Road trip: Calgary to Vancouver Island
It took only an hour of being back on Canadian soil for me to visit Tim Hortons. I knew there would be one at Calgary Airport so I made sure there was enough time to stop in before our bus to Banff. When you become an expat, you romanticise the things you miss back...
Viva Las Vegas
After a great couple of days in the Grand Canyon to start off our trip, we were pretty excited to hit the bright lights of Las Vegas and meet up with Dayna's old workmate and bridesmaid, Jessie. We dropped off the car in the afternoon and got a taxi for the short ride...
