I've got a secret. It is tucked away in the stunning Coast Mountains in British Columbia. It is one plane and one short car, bus or float plane ride away. More than 50 movies have been filmed here.

Want to take a trip of a lifetime? Spend a week in Newfoundland, the large Canadian island off the eastern coast of North American. Newfoundland is known for their puffins, icebergs and whales and I am happy to say, we saw all three, in a lovely, quiet, unspoiled Newfoundland. Yes, even in July, we saw icebergs.

We didn’t know quite what to think as we flew off to Minnesota last January. All the winter clothes we owned were in the suitcase, but nothing prepared us for this northern winter vacation.

The people of Michigan love the outdoors, and this is taken to the extreme in the norther half of the state.

 

A city plagued by problems; Detroit is on the up-swing. Being a huge car buff, Detroit is kind of like Mecca to me. I write a weekly car review column and it seems that the cars I tend to most enjoy are the ones that I have the lowest expectations for.
