Life In Pleasantville
Food, Travel, Life
There are few things that tug on my heartstrings quite like dogs do. So when my daughters and I had the opportunity to try dogsledding in Mont Tremblant we jumped at the chance. Dogsledding is as old as Canada and it’s origins can be traced back to our northern Aboriginal people. When fur traders and explorers …
People don’t usually go to Jamaica hoping to be scared, but if you’re heading to Montego Bay, you might want to make an exception. Rose Hall Great House isn’t just another pretty plantation mansion. It’s the setting of one of the Caribbean’s most chilling ghost stories, complete with tragic love, murder, and a woman who …
I went to Disney World a week after Donald Trump was inaugurated. I’m glad we went so soon after he was sworn in because there is a good chance he will sign an executive order banning all magic from the place if he’s given enough time. To be honest, I was leery about heading south …

I was lucky to check this one off my list relatively early, when I was invited on a Tahiti Tourisme press trip. For years, I carried constructed notions of what Tahiti would …
You probably landed here by googling something like “Is the Mont Tremblant snowshoe and fondue hard?” or “Will I plummet to my death off the side of a mountain in the dark on my quest for cheese?”.
