4.0 star rating
  9/17/2010

I've never really understood why people say that Westjet is cheaper than Air Canada.  I've honestly never seen a difference in price and the few times I did, it was by only a few dollars or so.

My best experiences with WestJet are always after the…More »

This hotel came highly recommended to me. By highly recommended I mean my company paid for me to stay here.  But they've praised this place to much, that I knew I was in for a treat, but not for the reasons you might think.

First things first, the…More »

Hands down my absolutely favourite airport in Canada. Of course, they probably owe a lot of the recent renovations to the Olympics for making it such a success story.

The main draw for this airport is of course the new Canada Line public…More »

This was my first visit to the Sandman Suites on Davie.  In my experience with these chains, they get either be hit or miss, this one I would definitely consider a hit.

You know what?  I don't mind Pearson.  It's always clean, relatively organized and easy to get around.  I find they do change the gate numbers a LOT, so make sure you pay attention, especially as your flight gets close!

I don't really have any…More »

Oh C-Train...what can I say about you?  You've become the punching bag of Calgary and I don't know what I can do to help you out.

It becomes especially hard to appreciate the c-train once you've visited a city like Vancouver.  The fact that the train…More »

I spend a lot of time at the Calgary Airport.  Sometimes I feel like I should be paying rent there. What was the name of that movie?  Oh yeah, The Terminal.  I'm like the Terminal of Calgary.  Call me the Terminalator.

You know what?  I actually…More »

3.0 star rating
  8/24/2010

The best thing about this hotel is the location. And in a city where you really shouldn't be spending anytime in your room, it certainly deserves its three stars.

But since you are paying for the room, we might as well talk about.  First, the staff…More »

If I have one addiction in my life it is that I'm addicted to the Alberta Fairmont Hotels.  Whether it is Banff, Jasper or Lake Louise, I love them all for very different reasons.

But this review is about The Banff Springs.

First off, yes The Banff…More »

Exploring Stephen Avenue (4)

Stephen Avenue is one of the hottest places in Calgary, especially during the summer when it is packed with trendy Calgarians looking for a great place to have a drink and get some shopping done.  Whenever I'm down there, I try to explore the entire street.  Here are a few that come to mind.

Drunkity Drunk Drunk (7)

Maybe you had a bad week or maybe you want to go celebrate a new job.  Perhaps you are on the worst date and just want to drink your troubles away.  Either way, these are some of my favourite bars!

Funny Guy! (5)

So I just discovered that you can sort your reviews by either Funny, Useful or Cool!  I had no idea!

Apparently you guys think that sometimes I'm funny. Awww that's so sweet.  According to your UFCs, here are my funniest.

Dowtown or bust! (6)

Sometimes it's hard to find things to in downtown Calgary at night. The core seems to clear out faster than you can say Stephen Avenue.  But there are actually lots of things to do downtown, you may just have to look harder for them!

Who doesn't love to be comfortable? (4)

But what is comfortable?  It really depends on my mood and what I'm looking to do.  However, typically it involves one of these places that relax me in many different ways!

The parents are coming, the parents are coming! (10)

Who doesn't love when your parents come to town, right?  Hello?  Anyone?  Well I do!  Here are some of the places I like to take my mom and dad any time they come to visit!

It's the theatre! (4)

Here are some of my favourite (and least favourite) theatres in Calgary for acting or otherwise!

Canadian Airports! (3)

Not that we have much choice of airports but it is always good to know who has free wifi and who doesn't!

Japan: Who needs a passport! (3)

I've never been to Japan but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy the food!  Mmmmm sushi!

Inglewood: No longer a hood! (3)

A few years ago, Inglewood was one of the scariest places in all of Calgary.  Recently it has become to some of the coolest, trendiest and best stores and shops in the entire city!
