It's hard for non-Canadians to understand just how beloved ice hockey is in Canada.  Do you think football is popular in the USA?  Soccer in Ireland?  Cricket in India?  Well, hockey is comparatively bigger than that in...

Toronto is one of Canada's great cities.  Often called the "New York of the North" (I presume as a complement), it's a fun place to visit.  There's lots to see and do in Toronto, from the amazing CN Tower which soars 1815 ft (553 m) into the...

On-time performance by U.S. airlines took a hit in Dec. 2013, with on-time arrivals dropping to below 70%. The Department of Transportation's figures include 16 major and regional carriers...but not Spirit or Allegiant. On-time arrival for the year...

Samantha is wishing for some Timbits and sharing pictures from a visit to Tim Hortons up in Alberta, Canada.

You made me crave a Tim's latte! ☕ There's a Timmies at about a 2 minute drive from here, but stuck waiting for a conference call 😭 😉

You're not really a town in Canada unless you have a Tim Hortons. It's Canada's favorite cup of coffee, and a great place to grab a coffee, drink or something to eat when doing a road trip in the Great White North.
