Stuck in San Francisco – When Travel Delays Go Right!

By //  by Candace Sampson

It’s not very often that while on the way to one bucket list destination, you find yourself stuck in another bucket list destination, but if it does ever happen to you, consider yourself lucky. My daughters and I found ourselves in this exact predicament recently while travelling to Tahiti.

Finding yourself stuck in San Francisco due to a …

By //  by Candace Sampson

A red eye out of LAX is not something people typically look forward to, but if you know how to spend the day leading up to your flight, it may be something you actually start to plan on purpose.

Eat This, Shoot That Santa Barbara

By //  by Candace Sampson

Recently, on a press trip with Visit California, I participated in a tour with Eat This, Shoot That in Santa Barbara, and it was hands down the best walking tour I've ever participated in. Through the years I've joined in many walking tours, but what makes Eat This, Shoot That so unique is that it brings together all my favourite parts of travel in one perfect afternoon; history, architecture, food, and wine.  I am a big fan of organized tours when it comes to exploring a new city. …
