One great perk of being a nomad is that you get to see great shows all around the world that you otherwise may not have access to. I've seen Les Miserables in London, Paul Potts in Japan, and a number of shows on Broadway in New York. Trips through Vegas, which seem to happen at least once a year, always mean seeing a Cirque du Soleil show. As you may have guessed from my previous write-up on ...Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

Jun 8th, 2009 at 10:30AM: We like winners. Whether it's the winning army of a war or the world's fastest 100 meter runner, we lavish attention and praise on the victors and relegate the losers to the dustbin of history. The same is true of travel - the most important travel cities like New York, London, Sydney and Tokyo are favored by visitors while lesser-known destinations are skipped, scratched from the itinerary or ...Canadian Valentine's Day packages for under $300
Feb 7th, 2009 at 1:00PM: Need some last minute ideas for Valentine's Day? Consider our neighbors to the north. Fairmont Hotels & Resorts has put together some fantastic packages that are sure to do better than the box of candy you have tucked under your arm. The Fairmont Empress in Victoria, British Columbia is a 100 year-old castle. Right away, that sets the scene for you. The Lovers' Escape package consists of a ...Budget Travel: Montreal
Jan 15th, 2009 at 11:30AM: Summary: You don't have to dash off to Europe to soak in the sights and sounds of a different culture. Montreal is much closer, less expensive and if you're in a jam, they'll even break into English for you! Just 45 minutes by plane from New York or Boston, and pretty easy from just about everywhere else in the United States, you'll have an endless amount of festivals, local attractions and ...Laurentian resorts try to stay under the radar
Jan 7th, 2009 at 9:00AM: Quebec's Laurentian ski resorts, north of Montreal, are trying to stay low-key. The 14 ski areas dotted along Highway 15 tend to be family owned and operated – translation: reasonably priced. Mont Saint-Saveur is part of this region's offering, taking skiers and snowboarders to 38 runs via eight lifts. Ample lighting makes night skiing much easier (Saveur has the most night runs among the ...Light Up in Montreal
Dec 22nd, 2008 at 5:00PM: Most cigar smokers know what they want when border-crossings are involved: Cubans. Stepping through customs onto foreign soil, you can feel the pull to the nearest tobacconist. Maybe you drop your bags off at the hotel first, but that's about it. As our nearest neighbor-at least from my part of the country-Canada is the top destination for Cuban cigars. In Montreal, go to the right shop instead of ...Montreal: Food, Fun and Shopping

Jul 8th, 2007 at 7:36AM: Montreal continues to intrigue me. This little slice of Europe in North America seems to beckon from so many different travel magazines I crack open. This month, it's Budget Travel.
As a sign of the times, Budget Travel turns to a couple of local Montreal bloggers to introduce its readers to all the best that this city has to offer, broken conveniently down to three categories: Shop, Play, ...Festival du Nouveau Cinéma - Montreal
Sep 30th, 2006 at 10:38PM: With so many film festivals to check out on the planet Earth, I don't know how I even go about picking one to mention here on Gadling. You'd think I'd just live the festival selection to our good friends at our sister-site Cinematical, but with the weather cooling down and snow flurries appearing somewhere in the U.S. or maybe even Canada at this time why not fly in to screen a flick or four? ...
