U2 360 Tour in Montreal

I don't know how I should begin to describe this phenomenal concert! When I first bought my tickets for this concert almost two years ago,  I didn't have grandiose expectations. Obviously I was expecting it to be good. It's Bono for crying out loud. But never had I imagined what I saw. The first adventure of the day was getting to the stadium. It was a temporary stadium that was built especially for this co ...

Part 1 – Milwaukee

Only a few weekends ago, I traveled over to a state of the U.S I never imagined myself seeing, Milwaukee and Madison.

Since the cities are fairly close to each other, it was an easy day trip. Our first stop was Milwaukee. Milwaukee isn’t the ...

Week-End Road trip in Hampton Beach

With no expectations, we were 4 girls in a car driving for almost 6 hours to enjoy some sun, beach and adventure in Hampton Beach. Where to begin? Safe car ride, check. Hotel with ocean view, check. Cheap alcohol, check ...

2011, Victoria Day – Long Weekend.

The summer season is officially here, but sure as not feeling it. At the moment I feel like I am living in a rainforest, it just hasn’t stopped raining. So this long weekend, I have planned to enjoy the time off as much as possible even if it does rain. Therefore, my boyfriend and I are taking a little road trip up north into the canyons. Well sort of, it’s actually only an hour in a half north of Ottawa an ...

My Easter Weekend out WEST

Since I was a young kid, Easter was always a big event for my family. I remember the Good Friday picnics and the large festive Easter Sunday meals. It was usually the same for every Easter, but as the years passed and my brother and I got full time jobs the tradition became more difficult. So since my brother lives in Calgary now and the rest of my family lives in Ontario we all decided to have Easter weeke ...

New Orleans; Part 1

It all started out as a lazy Sunday morning and randomly browsing the Internet. At the time I wasn’t planning on any trip or anything around those lines, but for some reason it just found me. I came across a flight and a four-star hotel deal for three nights, breakfast included for $400 taxes all in. At first glance I was like, ummm ya that can’t be there has to be a catch to it. Yet, as I clicked on the de ...
