My latest work trip had me travelling to the northern British Columbia coastal city of Prince Rupert. With only one real hotel in town, I ended up staying at the Crest Hotel Prince Rupert. The Crest Hotel Prince Rupert has been the place to stay in Prince Rupert since the sixties. Returning back to the Crest Hotel, how would my latest remote hotel experience fare? Review: The Crest Hotel, Prince Rupert, British… Read More
Tonight’s Air Canada Business Class flight was on a Boeing 737 – Max Eight aircraft. This was the last flight of the day out of Toronto Pearson International airport. On top of that, I ended up having an additional two hour flight delay on top of our late scheduled departure time. By the time we were on the way, I was pretty knackered. Despite this I had a late dinner on board… Read More
I was recently downgraded onto an Air Canada Rouge Business Class flight. I usually design my travel plans go well out of my way to avoid an Air Canada Rouge flight, given that it offers much less amenties. However, it’s been a while since I’ve had the pleasure of flying on an Air Canada Rouge flight. As such, I thought it would be worthwhile going over a few of the Rouge cabin’s… Read More
Today’s travel would have me returning to Air Canada Signature Business Class on their Boeing 777–300 ER. It is always a treat to end up in Air Canada Signature Business Class, and today was no exception. I would experience a comfortable spacious seat, quiet surroundings, and a quick transcontinental trip across Canada from Vancouver to Montreal. Review: Air Canada Signature Business Class B777-300 ER, Vancouver International Airport – Montreal Pierre Elliott Trudeau… Read More

Alaska Airlines offers reliable and frequent service from the mainland to the Hawaiian Islands. Read on to see what the service looks like as they… Read More

Hawaiian Airlines has managed it’s own lounge networks throughout the Hawaiian Islands. After the merger of Hawaiian Airlines with Alaska Airlines, we can expect to see a more enhanced lounge network that will benefit both Hawaiian Airlines and Alaska Airline passengers. With this investment, we recently stopped by the new Hawaiian Airlines Premier Club in Maui Kahului, Hawaii. We haven’t come to expect too much from a Hawaiian Airlines Premier Club lounge… Read More
My latest visit to the Hawaiian Islands of Maui had me looking into the Road to Hana and it’s various attractions. I have always been interested in travelling the Road to Hana, but the experience had always eluded my fingertips. On this particular holiday, we’d make the time to travel the Road to Hana, calling in on the Black Sand Beach at Waiʻānapanapa State Park and the Ho’okipa Beach Park for sunset… Read More
For an early winter holiday, we returned back to the Sheraton Maui Resort in Kaanapali, Maui, for a seven day stay. Having previously visited this resort on a family holiday, we would be curious to see how the resort fared over the years. While we didn’t get the same value as in our earlier stay, we were treated fairly well by the property. Given we redeemed Marriott Bonvoy loyalty points for our… Read More
My latest trip though Maui Kahului International Airport had me testing out the brand new Maui Rental Car Centre. The Maui Rental Car Centre was a massive upgrade in experience from the past bus shuttle that used to take us over to the nearby rental car lots. The Maui Rental Car Centre was a world class rental car experience. Unfortunately, Hertz didn’t have that many cars available to choose from, and has… Read More

This trip introduction describes how I put together my winter holiday trip to the Hawaiian islands. By using a few tricks that are accessible to anyone, I was able to save about $1,000 USD off my first class airfare, along with getting seven nights for free at the Sheraton Maui resort and spa [without attending a timeshare sales presentation]. I was able to enjoy a great relaxing holiday, along with finally getting… Read More
