Labour Day is almost upon and I have to say, its bit bitter sweet for me. On one end, it means long weekend and an extra day off work (woohoo!), on the other it marks the last long weekend of the summer (*cries).
So with this in mind, how do we make the best of Labour Day? If you're in Toronto, here's how:
Canadian National Exhibition (a.k.a CNE or "The Ex")

Last weekend for the CNE is this weekend, so if you haven't gone yet, it's a good opportunity to check it out. Plus, this weekend is the airshow!
Canada's Wonderland
http://www.canadaswonderland.com/
Open until October, it's definitely a good option if you're looking for [.....]
It's that time of year again... the CNE is back! It's a bit bittersweet for me. On one side I always look forward to it every year, at the same time it also marks the end of summer. However with all thats going on this year at the CNE, your bound to forget that summer is almost over (well, almost).
Thinking about checking out the CNE this year? A couple things to get you there...
When:
August 19 - September 5, 2011
Admission:
General Admission (Adult) - $16
Seniors and Children - $12
Children under 4 - FREE
Saving on admission:
Mon, Tues, Wed & Thurs after 5pm is only $5 to get in [.....]
On the way back from Tobermory, we stopped off at Cyprus Lake to check out the Grotto. We heard it was amazing, but until you see it for yourself it doesn't quite kick in.
A 20 minute walk through the the Bruce Peninsula and you're there. The walk itself was beautiful and relaxing, such nice scenary within the woods.
Once we got there, we were greeted with turquoise blue water, caves and rock cliffs. Swimming in waters that look like they are from a caribean vacation. [.....]
I had never heard about Tobermory before, however came across one of those travel magazines through Ontario Tourism and instantly became intrigued.
The drive up is a few hours (even longer if you take the waterfall route, but well worth it). However it is such a scenic drive, you are going to want to take your time and enjoy it.
On our way up, we checked out some of the waterfalls, and I was just amazed how many waterfalls are on the way up [.....]
So I have to admit, before this year, I had never heard of the Taste of Lawrence. Didn't know what to expect.
So this year, I was checking out pulse24.com and came across some information about it. I kinda wasn't in the mood to venture downtown too much. It was a sunday, it was hot... something that was easy to get to and not too far was what I was thinking, so I thought I would check it out.
I have to say, [.....]
Well its that time of year again... it's Indy time in Toronto! If you're looking for the following: watching fast cars, beers, freebies and more of watching fast cars... this is the place to be.
This year they are doing something a bit different. On Friday, they are offering FREE admission. No this is not a typo... FREE. I mean sure it's just the practice races, but still! If you're looking for something to do on a Friday on a budget, its worth checking out.
If you don't get a chance to go Friday, you can still get tickets for Saturday and Sunday (for a cost of course :-) ).
Also, this year Paul Tracy is racing for [.....]
I just had the amazing experience of spending this Canada Day in Ottawa. What an experience!
I got to say, they know how to celebrate.
We got there on Canada day itself, let me tell you if you plan on going book in advance! We tried finding something a couple days before and everything was sold out. And if it wasn’t, it was super expensive. We were lucky to find a last minute availability at the Lord Eglin Hotel right downtown. I have to say, [.....]
July is almost here, the long weekend is approaching. The weather is nice and you have an extra day off of work… however [.....]
... and the countdown begins!! Canada day is almost here, and for my American friends, Independence Day. No matter which one you celebrate, I think we are all excited about celebrating our country, being patriotic and getting a well deserved break from our everyday routines.
Family, Friends, BBQ, Fireworks, an extra day off work...and good weather (*crossing fingers*). The long weekend is almost here and I don't know about you but I can't wait. Even if you don't have plans, it's nice to know you have that extra day in the summer to sleep in and do whatever you want. So here comes the big question... how to spend it?? I'll be spending this week answering [.....]
Camping is a fun experience and a great way to get out of the city and rediscover nature.
If you have never been camping or with only little experience, its easy to get started.
Find a Place:The first thing is find a place. Figure out where you want to go and what kind of camping experience you are after. There are a number of web sites out there where you can find campsites depending on what area you want to explore.
Depending on where you live, you can quite often find links to camp sites on tourism sites for the place you want to visit.
For camping in Ontario, you can check out:www.ontarioparks.com [.....]
Las Vegas... the sin city. Or as I like to call it, Disney World for Adults. In Vegas, anything goes. Theres so much to see and do, its almost overwhelming.
Here are 10 tips and tricks for a great Vegas vacation:
1. Set aside a day to wander the strip.
One can spend an entire day going up and down the strip checking out the hotels and attractions. Each hotel is themed and has something unique to check out. Make sure to bring your camera and a good pair [.....]
