Malls, fountains, taxis and metros. We were all over Dubai today taking in the sights.

We have arrived in the Middle East: Dubai. After flying Toronto - Washington DC - Houston - Washington DC - Dubai we are ready to explore. It is 6:30 pm and we are forcing ourselves not to rest but to head out so we can hopefully get a good night's sleep.

Yes, it’s only been a few weeks since we got back from Istanbul, but it’s time for another GuysWhoTravel crazy weekend adventure! This time...

GuysWhoTravel are having a contest! We are giving away two free day passes for the American Airlines Admirals Club Lounge!

There was a seat sale last June and after about 10 minutes of discussion, Brad and I decided to snatch up the deal (Air Canada ~ $750 return). This is how Brad and I left Istanbul after four days feeling like we hit the major hot spots and saw a great deal of the city.

A Tale of Two Lounges - The Turkish Airlines Lounge in Istanbul, and the Lufthansa Senator Lounge in Munich.

My troubles with Air Canada. I was upgraded to Business using my Altitude Elite 50K eupgrade points but I wanted the miles for the actual flight to go to United. They said no.

It’s been 3 weeks since we got back from Vegas, so it’s definitely time for another GuysWhoTravel trip! Who has some tips for Istanbul that they can give us??

The GuysWhoTravel are back from Vegas, and I am happy to report that a fantastic time was had by all.

Two and a half hours to kill in Montreal's Pierre Elliot Trudeau Airport -- might as well check out some lounges.

The four guys who travel are heading to Las Vegas! Brad, Zak and Mike are flying somewhat direct with only one stopover. And yes, that is direct considering I'm have four stopovers.

Time for for another jaunt to Vegas!!!

When cruising, we always like to try out the premium restaurants on board. On this cruise, we headed to Qsine on the Celebrity Millennium. The restaurant is meant to be fun and modern, you order shared dishes via iPad that are creative and presented with flair. Some hits, some misses… at $45, we expected more.

Our Experience on a Pied Piper Cruise

A recap of the food we ate in Business Class on Cathay Pacific CX826 flight form HKG to YYZ.

A sign of good vacation is a sense of sadness as it comes to a close. My mood right now makes it pretty clear that this was a FANTASTIC vacation.

I'm not a Pho connoisseur. I really don't understand when people say this place or that is the best pho. I guess it depends on the broth and the meat but the subtle differences between locations is lost on me.

On this trip, we quite literally only had one night in Bangkok. And there was one thing that we HAD to do while we were here. We had heard the rumours... We had the teaser from that infamous scene in Pricilla Queen of the Desert... But we had to see it for our own eyes. Yes, we wanted to see a ping-pong ball show.

Just look at it. It is hideous. The towers and the pool and the crazy looking lotus flower out front. Who in their right mind would think this hotel is beautiful?

What's the big deal about upgrades anyways? Here's how I've spent my hours flying over Western Canada this week.

Let the trip begin! Steven and I are heading to Singapore to take a 2-week cruise on the Celebrity Millennium. This is a quick report on our journey there.
