Guide to a Perfect Girl’s Weekend: Nashville
Nashville Tennessee is currently one of the hottest destinations for a girl's getaway, bachelorette, bachelor party or any kind of event that can be celebrated with a bit of debauchery.

Poconos Adventure Trip – Day 4
We left the Poconos fairly early on Sunday morning as we had about a five hour drive ahead of us. Overall we had a great time on the trip and enjoyed all of our adventure activities.

Saturday was another adventure day for us - this time white water rafting!

Trip Report – London Day 1
I recently had the opportunity to go to the UK for a business trip and could not pass up the chance to stay the weekend and spend a bit of time in the city. Okay - that is not entirely true - June airfare to Heathrow is so outrageous that the usual Sunday red eye through Thursday or Friday itineraries…
Trip Report: Montreal – Day 2
Saturday morning we awoke to a dreary, rainy day. Our initial plans had us renting bicycles and riding to Mont Royal-Le Plateau but it was looking questionable as we savored our Nespresso from the comforts of our suite at St Sulplice.
