[Travel] Cuckoo Trattoria & Pizzeria, Coombs BC

If you are asking for suggestions around Mid Vancouver Island, almost everyone would tell you about this little town named Coombs. So what's there? The biggest draw is definitely the Old Country Market, better known as the Goats on the Roof Market. Namely, there are living goats on the roof! We were lucky to see a few of them grazing and chilling on the roof. While we were there, we had lunch at the Cuckoo Trattoria Italian Restaurant next door. It has a good selection of pasta and pizza dishes.

[Travel] Gabriel’s Cafe, Nanaimo BC

Coconut Milk Pancakes, Gabriel's Cafe

We took a trip to Vancouver Island. It was a pretty epic trip -- travelled from Nanaimo to Port Hardy and San Josef Bay in the northwest corner, and everywhere in between -- 2,300km in 9 days. First stop, Nanaimo. It was brunch time when we arrived in Nanaimo. Downtown Nanaimo has no shortage of brunch options, and Gabriel's Cafe caught my eyes.

[Travel] 36 Hours of Focus in Whistler 

When I was contacted by our friends at Ford Canada that I'd have a Ford Focus for a week, the hopeful boy racer in Mr. asked, “is it an ST? Is it a hatchback?" As it turns out, it was a fully loaded (Titanium) sedan with a pretty blue paint job. It also happened to be the same week as we threw a surprise birthday weekend in Whistler for one of Mr.'s close friends. So we gave the Focus a thorough test on a 36-hour trip.

[Travel] A Walk Through the Lights of Christmas – Largest Display in Pacific Northwest

During the Christmas Break, Mr. and I went to the States to check out some holiday light displays. The highlight of our trip was visiting the Lights of Christmas in Stanwood, at the Warm Beach Camp. With more than one million Christmas lights spread over 15 acres, this is known to be the largest holiday light display in the Pacific Northwest.

[Travel] City Travel in a Ford Fusion Energi

Recently, we had the opportunity to test out a 2017 Ford Fusion Energi for a week. We thought it would be fun to see what it's like to live with an Electric Vehicle. There's no denying that EVs are the future. Every year, there are more offerings popping up in this segment. They range from econoboxs to high end luxury cars. The Fusion Energi falls somewhere in the middle. The Energi is a plug-in hybrid. Simply put, it's a hybrid with the ability to drive on electric only mode for extended periods of time, and the ability to charge the larger battery pack by plugging in. So what did we like most about this Plug-in Hybrid?
