Up In the Air - The Travel Edition
See All Lists
1. Vancouver International Airport
Spending more and more time at airports these days there are things that make me truly greatful:
-Somewhat decent number of outlets for laptop charging
-The free, unlimited free wi-fi
-The skytrain stop
-And the biggest one - the AUTOMATED customs area.…More »

A warm mix of memories of trips past and anticipation of future adventures makes me love this… Read more »
2. Aerocar Service
From the time I called late at night to reserve my early morning car, I knew I would become a fan. The woman who took my reservation was talkative, kind and sympathetic to my early bird time. My car was waiting in the right spot (not like most taxis)…More »
3. Wanderlust
Vancouver, BC V6J 1M7
(604) 739-2182
Categories:
Bookstores,
Luggage
Neighbourhood: Kitsilano
From the outside, Wanderlust looks smaller than it is. Once inside it's magical doors, you're exposed to a world, literally!
From suitcases to mosquito nets and fast drying underwear (17 countries, 6 weeks, 1 pair of underwear is what the label said)…More »
4. The Travel Bug
When you wish the travel section at your local bookstore would explode and engulf the biographies, references, and sudoku section? Then come here.
It's always fun to browse, plan and think about an upcoming trip - it adds to the excitement! With…More »
5. Vancouver Pacific Central Station
Vancouver, BC V6A 4C7
(888) 842-7245
Category:
Train Stations
Neighbourhood: Strathcona
When you arrive there's almost a sense that you may just travel back through time and be immersed in a Vancouver from long ago. Sleepy eyed travelers waiting to hear the "All Aboard" call for a southbound train queue, first to check in, then to pass…More »
6. Jasper Bar and Grill
Yes, an airport bar. Hockey game on. Groups of friends saying hellos and goodbyes. Slightly bustling servers and a menu that caused me a laugh... I almost took a picture... almost.
Devoting an entire page to how "healthy" the menu is, it described…More »
7. American Airlines
The first and last two American Airlines flights I will ever take, no matter how much more I have to spend traveling with any other airline.
Loading the plane front then the back? Questionable.
Playing the same movie on all flights, and only one movie…More »
8. Gladstone Hotel
Toronto, ON M6J 1J6
(416) 531-4635
What makes me like the Gladstone and love The Drake even more? The fact that it was The Drake who suggested I stay at the Gladstone on my most recent Toronto trip. It was love at first *lift.* Certainly, there's no denying that the elevator is small…More »
9. Hotel Andra
The rooms are magic. I only wish I could stay for longer. Comfortable and spacious but sleek and modern. It even had a full walk in closet, that's more than what I have at home! And the shower is fantastic. I love hotels that have a shower, not just…More »
10. Matrix Hotel
Unaccustomed to free parking at a hotel, I was impressed that they offered it. Even more impressive is the lobby. It's funky, clean and modern, yet it's still somehow inviting and warm. The rooms are fairly standard with nice touches like pretty…More »
11. Hotel Arts
Since my last review, I was contacted by a Hotel Arts manager and asked to give them another chance. So I did, and it was a fantastic stay: I was upgraded when I arrived at no charge and given a room on an above ground floor. The wi-fi was…More »

Loyalty and regular visits do not seem to improve service here. In fact, it almost seems to reduce… Read more »
12. The Magnolia Hotel & Spa
Hearts, butterflies... in my mind there are fireworks in the sky over Victoria when I opened the door to my suite. In my room there were welcome Rogers Chocolates, a bottle of water and an apple all waiting. The bed comfy, cozy. The shower AND tub,…More »
13. Drake Hotel
Toronto, ON M6J 1J3
(416) 531-5042
I have been a regular guest at The Drake every couple of months for more than a year. And this past stay, I was lucky enough to stay in the room that received my last "Dear Room" Yelp review.
Hello Again 208,
Since I first yelped about you, I have come…More »

Dear Room 208,
I love falling into bed with you. You might be hard to get (walking up a flight of… Read more »
14. WestJet Airlines
Oh Canada, home of the two choice: WestJet and Air Canada. I fly with you both so frequently but time and time again, WestJet wins my loyalty.
Is it because they respond to questions on Twitter? Or because they're smiling and merry on flights? Maybe…More »
15. Banff Taxi and Sightseeing Company Ltd
My low tech dude driver was not who I had expected to pick me up in the middle of a Monday afternoon. This guy looked like he should be tending bar or maybe skiing... and well, I'm guessing that he does both those things in the beautiful town of…More »
16. Air Canada
If this were 2 years ago, I would have 1 starred you. But you know what, you're not that bad when compared to some of the other North American lines. Delta and American Airlines, I'm looking at you.
Over the past year, I've noticed a change in your…More »
