FEATURE: Debunking the 5 myths of “adults only” all-inclusive resorts

Have you ever heard of “adults-only” all-inclusive resorts?  Do places like “Hedonism, Sandals, Secrets and Temptations” sound familiar? 
Don’t worry, this isn’t your girlfriend testing you.  It’s a serious question.
If they sound vaguely familiar, just check out one of your adult or men’s magazines.  You’ll invariably find an ad for these resorts tucked in there somewhere either [...]

TRAVEL: Vancouver, B.C.

I’m so glad Vancouver is getting a lot of coverage and publicity from the Winter Olympic Games. 
It’s a beautiful city with amazing people and in my opinion, should be visited at least once in your lifetime.  Compared to other Canadian cities like Montreal, Vancouver has a much more temperate climate (i.e. it doesn’t snow 6 [...]

FEATURE: Virgin Birth

I’m a big fan of companies that get it right.
Apple, American Express, Mercedes Benz… they all seem to take products or services that we need and turn them into what we want. They’re still businesses and they’re still in it for the money, but there also exists a certain passion for pushing the envelope. I [...]

GEAR: Flight Plan

Travel seems to be getting more and more complicated these days.  There are carry-on restrictions on liquids, lighters, and batteries.  We have to pack THIS way, THAT’S too heavy or too big, and pay extra for our checked bags?  I just want to get to South Beach already!

Yet amidst all the attempts to make travel [...]

FEATURE: XS Nightclub at the Encore hotel, Las Vegas

Okay so I have been to my share of nightclubs in Las Vegas, but I think XS Nightclub at the Encore Hotel takes the cake.  In fact, the moment we stepped into the club, we were wondering why the hell we had never been there before.
From the moment you step into the hotel to the [...]

When that first bite of fall weather takes a nip at your neck, and the warm summer breeze gives way to a chill in the air, it’s time to consider your winter getaway.  The tropical retreats that may usually call for you to escape just may fall on deaf ears this year.  I say we [...]

DESTINATION: Maldives

If you find yourself in the middle of the Indian Ocean, on an atoll that you can walk across in about 15 seconds and walk the length in less than 5 minutes, you just may be in the Maldives.  After landing in the capital city of Male, you will either take a speedboat or a [...]

TRAVEL: Venice, Italy

Venice, Italy is one of those places you have to go to before you die. 
From the moment you step foot off the boat and start walking to your hotel, your eyes will be overwhelmed with amazing imagery making you realize you are very far away from your ordinary life.
Step foot onto St. Mark’s Square and you will feel like you [...]

TRAVEL: Boracay, Philippines

Just a short 1-hour flight south of the Philippine capital is an island renowned for its stunning beaches and exotic nightlife – Boracay Island.
Unless you have Filipino friends (or if you are Filipino), you’ve probably never heard of this place.  If you are from the Philippines, this is the place to go when you want [...]

TRAVEL: Barcelona, Spain

Ah Barthelona (that’s how the locals pronounce it).  One of my favorite cities in Europe.  Beautiful people, beautiful city, fantastic food.  Oh yeah, it’s also an hour away from Ibiza, for you party folks.
From the moment we landed you could tell that the city was so culturally vibrant that it was oozing from each crack [...]
