European Honeymoon, 2012 – Day #1, YYZ to CDG
Tuesday, June 12, 2012 – What a crazy 36-hours! Julia & I exchanged our vows, we celebrated the occasion with our close family & friends and then started our 20-night European honeymoon. To say I’m incredibly lucky & fortunate would be a vast understatement. My parents offered to drive us to Pearson International Airport for [...]
Suad in Spain, 2012: Part One – Madrid
(Text and photos by Suad Bejtovic) A few months ago, I stumbled upon a fare sale on American Airlines, and booked a round trip ticket to Madrid for only $755. My itinerary had me changing planes in Miami going, and in Boston coming back, but non-stop flights were available from Dallas-Fort Worth for about $200 [...]

St. Maarten, 2011 – Day #8
Saturday, October 1, 2011 – Our alarm went off at 8am this morning, so that we had ample time to finish packing our suitcase and gather up our carry-on items. We took our beach towels back to the towel stand and then headed to the front desk to check out. We hadn’t used the phone [...]
Australia, 2009 – Day #5, SYD to CNS
Wednesday, October 14, 2009 – Since I was flying from Sydney to Cairns (pronounced Cans, apparently the ‘ir’ are silent?), I was awake at 8am to pack up my gear and check-out of Wake Up! The check-out procedure was easy since I didn’t have any extra charges (I didn’t lose my pillow or towel), so [...]

Dave & Nick’s European Adventure, 2002 – pt. 1
As the trip got closer, we had nailed down a few key ideas, at least for the start of the trip. Knowing that our flight was landing in Paris, France, we booked two nights at the Aloha Hostel. After that, we were going to use the Lonely Planet guide book to help us decide on [...]
Cruise – Day 9, SJU to YYZ, via CLT
It was 8:30am when our alarms went off, and we slowly got up and began getting our stuff together to leave the cabin for the last time. It was a terribly sad day – not because we weren’t going to be on the boat anymore, but because the ‘w’ word was clouding our thoughts. Back [...]
Cruise – Day 1, YYZ to SJU, via PHL
Hi all – Here is Day 1 of the cruise, our trip from Toronto to San Juan, Puerto Rico. The day started off well, with Julia & I waking up around 6:30am, and were able to finish up some packing and then head to my parents place for 7:30am for the ride to the airport. [...]
Italy, 2002 – The Beginning

During that journey, I tried to keep my friends and family updated with my whereabouts and my goings on. Over the next few posts, I’ll share those stories with you. Enjoy. Good Day, I managed [...]
