Our friend Leonidas said we should grab a beer at the Amsterdam BrewHouse and he wasn’t wrong. Beers, great food, cool merch, and a lakefront view with perfect weather? This was probably one of the top places we visited and would definitely go back again. Lat = 43.6378975 , Long = -79.3848648 — Show at … Read more

Walked by the Toronto Stock Exchange, CN Tower, St. Lawrence Market, and Rogers Center but didn’t go inside. Walked through and around the Roundhouse Park area. With the aid of our local buddy … Read more

We had a semi-private balcony off the living area and access to a rooftop patio area with amazing views. Across the street on Elizabeth was a place called the … Read more

It was free of charge and made private to conference attendees only! The rides and atmosphere were extremely immersive, definitely something to … Read more
Visited an old friend in Naples, FL back in 2010. Took in some sights including a great sunset at The Naples Pier on the Gulf of Mexico. Was a very low-key trip but was fun pretending I was retired for a week just playing golf and eating steaks. Just posting old photos to chronicle some … Read more
