I just loved the antique rugs, high ceilings and log fires, as it does get...

We had an idea we might be on to a good thing with La Residence des Cascades after we got off the flight in Hurghada in July 2006. The flight had not been without incident, involving at least one drunk British youth, and in general terms we were a little concerned as to the quality of our fellow travellers.

And don't let the fact that Excalibur is nearly 20 years old concern you, the resort has recently undergone an extensive renovation. Conveniently located at t...

As such, they established their own culture and dominance of the land long before the arrival of the first European settler, a Portuguese explorer by the name of Juan Rodrigues Cabrillo.

On a crisp winter day, our coldest day so far, with a brilliant blue sky, I got going early at about 7:15 am and drove about 20 minutes from Banff to the tourist town of Canmore.

The Nakiska Ski area is not far from Canmore and it played host to the alpine events dur...
