This contest started last month but only today did I find out about it (I received an e-mail from Fairmont). To commemorate the April 4 release of TITANIC in 3D in theaters, as well as the centennial anniversaries of Fairmont Chateau Laurier in Ottawa and The Fairmont Copley Plaza in Boston (which opened the same…
I still get the daily newspaper. Long time again I stayed at a Marriott and every morning a newspaper was delivered. The articles were very good – too good unfortunately as I would try to read all of them – but I would never get the time to finish or even start reading the newspaper…

Yes there is such a law (different from Murphy’s law) and a post of one my fellow bloggers BLOG ADMIN: A message to the grammar checkers out there ‘inspired’ me to write this post. Muphry’s Law: “…. if a mistake is as plain as the nose on your face, everyone can see it but you. Your…
I very rarely participate in competitions especially if they involve downloading an app and having ‘tasks’. However, I made an exception for Star Alliance’s “Picture your Upgrade” promotion which is running until April 4th. I would not say it is fun to use but at least the tasks seem easy to do. And of course, I…
It is only around $30 more. When a friend told me how much he’d paid for Vanouver-Orlando via Toronto (there is no direct flight) I could not believe him so I had to check myself. I used for both trips the same dates Apr 22-26 and I chose the cheapest Tango Plus fare in both cases. Return…
A 30-storey hotel in Changsha, China, went up in two weeks, reports the Los Angeles Times. “In early December, Liu Zhangning was tending her cabbage patch when she saw a tall yellow construction crane in the distance. At night, the work lights made it seem like day. Fifteen days later, a 30-storey hotel towered over…
When I travel I rarely get a good night sleep and the daylight savings time compounded the issue. My plan was to go to bed at around 10:30 PM and wake up at 5:30 AM to go to the gym. However, 10:30 would have been 8:30 back home and actually 7:30 due to the time…
I wasn’t part of it but I was there when it was set (Victoria, BC, Canada, March 9). The record was for the world’s largest rowing class. The class was led by Adam Kreek, a 2008 Olympic gold medal-winning rower (men’s eight). He initially knew he had to break a record of 165 set in 2008…
It’s déjà vu, I knew the government would intervene. The Federal Labour Minister referred the disputes between the airline and its pilots’ and machinists’ unions to the Canada Industrial Relations Board. In 2011 a walkout by the airline’s customer service agents lasted just three days after the minister threatened back-to-work legislation. “Our government’s concerned that…
