Have you ever tried to read a newspaper when your nose is too close to the fine print? Everything ends up being one big blur. Well, that pretty well sums up the last few months of the Hospitality Guide.
Sometimes you need to take a step back in order to fully see the big picture.
In the last few months, I’ve shot the show in Vegas, Nova Scotia, Montreal, Sweden, San Francisco, Okanagan Valley, DisneyWorld, Quebec, Buffalo, Toronto and Ft. Lauderdale. Did I leave anything out?? One of the perks of hosting a travel show that focuses on different aspects of the hospitality industry is that you get to experience the best aspects of whatever city you happen to be in; Rafting over massive tides in the Bay of Funday, hanging out in a $9000.00 a night suite in Vegas, taking a helicopter ride over the Niagara Falls, eating ‘body-cakes’ in Sweden, go carting through the streets of San Francisco, and getting a glimpse into the wild and wacky world of competitive eating at Buffalo’s WingFest. Ahhh good times!!
If you’ve missed any of these episodes, check them out online at www.thehospitalityguide.com.
I’m happy to report that the HG team is currently working on some big things in the near future so stay tuned. The adventure continues….
Thanks for watching,

Oh the weather outside is frightful but the sun WILL be so delightful!

It’s cold, windy and the winter jackets don’t seem to be going anywhere for a long while. Wouldn’t it be nice to just get away for a bit? With the economy heading into a downward spiral most of us are discouraging ourselves from spending money on a Timbit let alone a weeklong vacation. Surprisingly, vacation packages are also heading into that same downward spiral and good thing for us because that can only mean one thing, they’re a lot cheaper. For an average price of an airline ticket to New York and back you can get an all inclusive vacation package (all inclusive = free alcohol too).
Every winter, I spoil myself and head to a sunny destination and I was damned sure this year wasn’t going to be any different. So I checked the usual websites: itravel2000, Selloffvacations and Belairtravel. Cuba and Dominican being the more popular destinations you should expect to payless. But I wanted to go somewhere differentl this time around and I decided on Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. After all if it’s good enough for Heidi and Spencer it’s good enough for me. I finally decided on The Rui Palace Cabo in beautiful SUNNY Mexico courtesy of Sunquest Vacations. It’s a 5.5 star hotel right on the beach with an ocean front suite- what more can you ask for? Typically you would expect to pay more than $2000 but I got a deal, only $1400! But before you start planning your vacation, make sure you set a budget and stick to it! Also if your hotel is right on the beach it cuts traveling costs.
Me in T- Minus 3 weeks
Enough about me. If it’s not in your budget to go away you don’t have to - The Hospitality Guide will take you, especially to delicious eateries right here in Toronto and around the world. We will make your mouth water in San Francisco with crab legs at The Crab Shack, try some amazing coffee in Sweden and of course go to the best Hamburger joint in all of the U.S of A at Le Tub burgers. See, even the Hospitality Guide can make the winter blues disappear.
But to curve your appetites, enjoy cooking with George at the opening night gala for Toronto’s International Film Festival.
