Golf Course Review – Sechelt Golf
We had a chance to play at Sechelt a couple of weeks ago when we were on the Sunshine Coast for a quick trip. It was actually the first time we had been to the Sunshine Coast and had no idea what to expect at Sechelt Golf & Country Club. As we made our way up a windy tree lined road to the golf course driveway, we were a bit surprised as the golf course appeared to be a links style course with… Read More

Trip to the Sunshine Coast
We had never been to the Sunshine Coast before despite our now 14 years living in BC. Who knew how easy it would be?

We sailed past Islands we knew little about including Gambier and… Read More

Dining in Vancouver – New Cardero’s Menu
Cardero’s continues to be one of the busiest restaurants that we ever visit. There is usually at least a 45 minute wait and often no seats in the bar in which to wait in. But there are a few options for this. There is a bar set up along the kitchen which is usually not full where you can eat and watch the kitchen action at the same time. Another good option is to make a reservation. Reservations are not taken for… Read More
