Guys Who Travel

The Shard - Tallest Building in London

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.

Dining in the kitchen at Monk Kitchen

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

Luggage tracking is here! With our new Trakdot.

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.

A Day in Dubai

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

Dubai. 4 flights and 22 Hours of flying.

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.

Four Days in Istanbul Turkey

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.

Frustrations with Air Canada

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.

Las Vegas or Bust!

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.

Qsine on the Celebrity Millennium

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.
