February 1st marks the start of the new year for travel for Vacation Sus. First up, is a week of slow and easy at Las Hadas resort in Manzanillo, Mexico. Maybe it’s boring that I keep coming back to the same resort year after year, but of all of the travelling I do in a … Continue reading »
Seriously? I still haven’t posted about Boston??? If we didn’t have such amazing eats in Beantown, I may not have ever have gotten around to writing this one… Boston was the end city on our East Coast Roadie, with over 700 miles of driving.

Sunday dinner has always been important for my family. It’s he day when we take time out of our busy lives to share a meal and catch up on events in eachother’s lives. If I’m not playing hockey on a Sunday, I can count on being at either my parent’s house or Ben’s for dinner. My parents seem to … Continue reading »
Imagine if you could spend not just an hour, but a whole day with an expert in the one thing in life you’re most passionate about. Imagine also that you can work alongside them and feel like you could ask them any question and that you’d get an answer to it. That, in a nutshell … Continue reading »
I have been in Oaxaca for one day and already, I have eaten more than some would over a few days. For the 3rd time in 4 years, I am back in Oaxaca, crashing the vacation of my in-law’s (Jo and Henry as they would rather be referred to as) and their friends Tom & … Continue reading »
