South Korea's pavilion blew us away. We thought it was a little strange at first that we had to watch an introduction presentation before heading in. What they were doing was throttling the people going through the pavilion so everyone could experience everything. We weren't disappointed.

How can I not expect lots from Japan? We love the country and Tokyo is one of our favourite cities. So expectations were high when we went into the Japan pavilion. We weren't disappointed.

Last night in Ottawa, I took my second and probably my last ride in an UberX "taxi".

Even though Celine was supposed to be the highlight of the weekend (my dreams were crushed by her sore throat), the highlight turned out to be the Cabana at The Cosmopolitan Bamboo Pool. After years and years of trips to Vegas, we finally took the plunge and got a Cabana. We have always toyed with the idea, but with 7 of us on this trip, the time seemed right and we were all looking forward to a day at the pool.

The Guys Who Travel went to Vegas last weekend, and on the flight down, Brad gets Rouged! Here's his story.

Had to make a quick flight to Salt Lake City today so I thought I would give the time-lapse another go.

TSA Pre Check has been expanded to Air Canada making it the first International Carrier to be a part of the program.

This week I was able to fly for the first time in a Studio Pod on Air Canada from Vancouver to Toronto. I have flown numerous times in a standard pod and this is a huge step up from the claustrophobic old pods, in my opinion.

There are lots of different credit cards available for Canadians. Here's what Brad has in his wallet, and why.

When you tell someone you are going or have just visited Las Vegas, the first question almost everyone asks is where did you stay? There are good hotels and bad hotels, lucky for us, most of the time we are at the good hotels.

What makes a good pool? We like character. Waterfalls and palm trees go a long way.

Spas in Las Vegas are legendary. Huge facilities where you can get lost in your relaxation for days at a time.

There is definitely no shortage of places to eat. "Where should I eat?" is probably one of the second most frequent questions we are asked. We'll separate it out into three categories.

With so many trips to Vegas we have seen a lot of shows. We do have our favourites, I don't think we have seen very many duds, but we just do go to ANY show.

Goodbye Air Canada Aeroplan, Hello United Mileage Plus. Why Brad is finally making the switch.

Brad had a conference in Key Largo this weekend, and of course I jumped at the chance to escape Toronto December weather and head down to the tropics. The conference was at the Marriott Key Largo Friday and Saturday. Sunday morning we left for a night in Key West. I was really looking forward to this drive, and I wasn't disappointed.

We just wrapped up a great weekend in Las Vegas after participating in the Rock'n'Roll 1/2 Marathon, chilling at the Aria Spa and filling our mouths with some delicious buffet food.

About four months ago our friend Dana asked us if we wanted to join her in Vegas to cheer her on at the Rock'n'Roll marathon. We were planning our flights about 12 weeks prior to the race and I wondered if I should maybe join her for the 1/2. Could I do it? Could I find the time and energy to train? Could I skip the drinking and heavy eating this trip to Vegas? It turns out I could.

Mike has a spa day at Voda Spa in West Hollywood and tells all...

Who knew this trip to Berlin would be so full of celebrity. I went from D-List to A-List in exactly one week. Who did I see?

If you are coming to Berlin, plan ahead and book a tour at the Reichstag. Being a government building you can't just walk up, as appealing as it may be, and expect to be ushered in. We booked a few weeks in advance and had no problem getting a booking. Alen, who I went with did the booking, and got us on an English tour which was well worth it I thought. The other option is to just get a booking to go to the observation floor and the dome. We actually got to see most of the building and also the assembly hall while learning some interesting facts.

?So far this trip to Berlin has been entertaining, I don't mean the TV shows I downloaded to my iPad, but watching the other passengers.

I was excited to find out last night that The Shard, the tallest building in the European Union, had an observation deck. I love a good observation deck so I can check out the city sites and really absorb how big a city is.

A fun dinner at Monk Kitchen, actually in the kitchen, with the chef and his team. A delicious dinner and a great experience.

After our great luggage loss of Janurary 2013, we were very quick to order the Trakdot luggage tracking devices when it was announced in the winter. After placing our order on March 3, five and a half months later, we have the devices in hand.
