Air Canada - The Worst Airline in the World?
Michelle and I were flying from St. Maarten to Timmins, Ontario with 2 nights in Toronto to see some friends. We flew with WestJet from SXM to YYZ and the trip unto that point was going according to plan. Our friends picked us up and we spent the next 48 hours catching up and trying to get accustomed to the already colder weather.
The next plan was to catch our 4PM flight with Air Canada from Toronto to Timmins, Ontario. This flight is typically 90 minutes. Our friends were kind enough to drop us off at the airport on their way to see family some 2 hours away for the long labor day weekend.
We make our way to the Air Canada counter to check in 2 hours in advance (more than enough time for domestic flights) and wait roughly 30 minutes in line.

Review: Zemi Beach House Hotel & Spa in Anguilla – The New Best Place on Earth?
We can’t talk about Zemi Beach House Hotel & Spa before talking about Anguilla. As many of you know, we live on St. Maarten and have had the opportunity to island hop quite a bit. Last week-end was no exception, as Anguilla being one of our favorite destinations for its proximity and epic pristine beaches and only a 20 minute ferry ride away. Anguilla is a British overseas territory, east of Puerto Rico, that was named by Christopher Columbus for its “eel” shape (Anguilla means eel in Spanish). The small island, only 16 miles long and 3 miles wide, has a population of roughly 15,000 people.
