Vacation
If you’re kicking yourself for not heading to the 2010 Winter Games or thinking it’s too late to get here, think again.
A few days into the Games, traffic is reasonable, crowds are civilized and – believe it or not – there are still tickets available.
If you’ve so much as entertained the thought of dropping everything and watching history unfold in Vancouver, check out the following last-minute guide to getting into the Games:
Human beings can distinguish several thousand smells. Memory of a unique or meaningful smell can last a lifetime as smell is the strongest sense tied to memory. Smell can conjure up images of past experiences, or help transport our imagination to distant lands:
Maybe that’s why many of the indoor rides at Disney parks seem to have a distinct scent or two related to the worlds created within.
It’s a catch 22: The busiest times for most theme parks are the times when everyone (including you) wants to go.
But if you’re willing to plan, cooperate, and make a few compromises, you can enjoy days of relatively line-free adventures.
Whether you’re looking to ring in the New Year or just play in the snow, there are thousands of ways to get away from it all within a half-days’ drive of your home this winter.
Below are some of the funnest destinations you may or may not have thought of, along with a selection of the cities that fall within a roughly four-hour radius of them…
Here’s your chance to literally go where no one has gone before: Would you believe that in this age of GPS and Google Earth, there are some parts of Ontario in which humans have never set foot? There are more than a few acres – square kilometers even – on Earth where no one has been. And in recorded history, we haven’t even been to all the places where lines of latitude and longitude meet.
Whoa! You don’t see that everyday…From fire towers to panoramic mega-decks to extreme boardwalks, Ontario has its share of scenic lookouts. Check out some amazing ones you may not have been to yet…
From the inspiring to the extreme to the downright bizarre, take a look at some of the coolest road trip destinations in Ontario that you [likely] haven’t heard about. (Drop us a line if you’ve heard of more than two of these OR if you think there’s something else that should be on the list…)

Taking a vacation to Disney World seems to be the pinnacle event in every young child’s life. Telling your children that they’re going to Disney World means that they’re destined to be the talk of the playground for weeks to come. It really is a dream come true. But, for some parents planning the trip, it’s often not a question of “Do we go?” but rather “When do we go?”
Summer’s once again upon us, and that means that it’s time again for that great Canadian tradition to commence: the road trip. Although one of the major aspects of a road trip is the journey, it’s also important to end up at a pretty nice destination. It can be hard to know where to begin when planning your trip, as Ontario has a lot of interesting places to visit, so we at CAA have compiled a list of some of the “must-sees” this province has to offer.
For most Canadian families, the winter vacation to Florida is something of a rite of passage. Escaping to Disney seems almost like a necessity when the temperature drops and the snow starts to fall.
Winter Driving
This year especially seems like an ideal time to pack up the kids and head off to Orlando, as our strong dollar means more sightseeing bangs for your bucks.
