Cuba is a combination
of colourful people,
colourful Old Havana
and colourful beaches.
That’s why it remains a
top winter destination
for a million Canadians.

Cuba is 5-Star resorts that drift on to
tranquil beaches where Snowbirds gather.

Information
• Spanish-based Iberostar Hotels & Resorts manages a number of luxury
properties in Cuba. Three top-rated Premium Gold properties are: the
5-star Iberostar Parque Central in Havana, the 5-star all-inclusive
Iberostar Varadero and the 5-star all-inclusive Iberostar Ensenachos.
• To experience Cuba in more depth, consider a Sunwing Vacation Package
that combines a stay at Havana’s Iberostar Parque Central with a stay at
one of their ocean-side resorts. For more information visit Iberostar.com
and Sunwing.ca.
Cuba’s ‘50s era cabs are still a big hit with tourists.

The crystal-clear waters that surround Phi Phi Island offer
divers the perfect conditions in which to explore the sealife
that so excites them. Lily, an avid diver, found herself surrounded by colourful tropical fish, many of them rare species, while diving in the waters off Thailand’s Phi Phi. The
limestone cliffs that guard this treasured island also make it
ideal for rock climbing and hiking.
11 Janauary 2015
The long boats that take dirvers on outings to outer islands or to remote beaches ruled by some cute little
monkeys, inset, who can be nasty, is a cheap form of transportation on Phi Phi Island.

The traditions and customs
in rural Japan have changed
little over the centuries. Food
is simple but plentiful and prepared fresh, and daily chores
are completed wearing the
same fashions that ancestors
wore hundreds of years ago.
Gillian enjoyed a feast in the
forest at Mitaki-En, above,
and crab and ginger soup,
left, made from locally grown
ginseng at the Yuuski-En Japanese Garden.
21 Janauary 2015
The fall colours shine
bright at Yuushi-En
Japanese Garden on
Daikonshima Island in
Shimane, where the soil
is rich in volcanic ash
and perfect for growing
Shimane’s beloved
peonies and ginseng.

Whether it’s rafting in
the glorious Chicamocha Canyon or hiking
along the national
park’s majestic peaks,
Colombia offers so
much for the adventure
traveller. Then afterwards you can enjoy
a local treat like the
yummy Arepa, left.

Coffee is liquid gold in Colombia
and it’s so popular that rumour
has it Colombians have a small
cup every hour. It’s still one of
the country’s key exports and the
quality can’t be matched.

Greek Revival
A passionate look by a
proud Greek Canadian
on why amazing Athens
remains a tourist hotbed
40
January 2015
By Dina Maniatis
A
THENS — Summer
after summer, I return to
Greece to spend the better
part of my vacation and
the reason is simple: it’s
home, even if you’re not Greek.
Greece is one of those places that quench
what mind, body and soul are thirsting
for. It heightens the senses, awakens the
spirit and makes people realize that, as
the age-old Greek saying goes, “the simple
life is the good life.”
Athens is a perfect example of that. It’s
not a city inhibited by rules. In fact, its
unorthodox lifestyle is exactly what makes
it so desirable. It’s shabby, social, chic
and laid-back. It’s a place where bars,
cafes, restaurants and anything cultural,
historic and artistic give meaning to life.
I look at my time in this Mediterranean
gem as an elixir; a strong dose of life that
re-energizes me every time I visit.
As July nears and I begin planning my
next summer visit, I’m elated to hear that
PHOTOS BY DINA MANIATIS AND COSTA TSAVARAS
Gritty Athens, with its history and culture still intact despite Greece’s
economic meltdowns, remains one of the most desired tourist destinations and the reason is simple — there’s no place on Earth quite like it!

Strolling through Athens’
lovely neighbourhoods is
like walking back in time.
While much has changed
in Greece’s capital over the
centuries, much has stayed
the same. By day, it’s a
storehouse of history but
at night, it’s comes alive
with chic clubs tucked
away in old buildings. It’s
where time stands still.

Legendary Langshan mountain is
one of China’s greatest natural wonders and a sight to be hold. To walk
on Langshan is to walk in the clouds.
45 Janauary 2015
The staircases that take visitors to the top of Langshan cling to granite mountains and are an engineering marvel that are as exciting as the mountain.

The Hotel Del Coronado,
far left, is one of America’s
best known properties
where many movies have
been filmed. The stately
retreat is Coronado’s most
famous landmark but its
municipal golf course, left,
is the island’s best value at
just $35 a round.

Coronado’s golf course is not pricey
but offers a priceless experience
By Marc Atchison

ORONADO ISLAND, CA. — It’s early morning — the sun is just beginning to show itself on the horizon — but already the parking lot at Coronado’s Municipal Golf Course
is packed with cars. The starter, a small, elderly man with lots of tattoos painted on
his muscular arms — “souvenirs of my Navy days” — is expecting another busy day.
“I’ve been doing this job for many years now and there’s never been a slow day here,”
says the jovial man who greets the first foursome as the digital clock displays 6:30 a.m.
The Coronado Municipal Golf Course, tucked under the sweeping bridge that connects
treasured Coronado Island with San Diego, is an American legend. Opened in 1957, it’s
regarded as one of the finest public golf courses in North America — probably the world and the sixth busiest in the United States — Coronado averages 100,000 rounds a year.
But the best thing about this storied course where U.S. presidents — Bill Clinton among
them — and the greats of golf — Phil Mickelson, Billy Casper, Gene Littler and Paul
Runyan, to name just a few — have played is what golfers are charged to play — $35!
“Now you know why we have so many tee times,” smiles the starter.
Needless to say, Coronado, with its wide inviting fairways, manicured greens and perfect
weather conditions — San Diego is graced with almost 150 days of sunshine annually —
is a steal!
The 6,590 yard, par 72 beauty that offers stunning views of San Diego Bay and the world
famous Hotel Del Coronado, is bordered by a U.S. Navy base — Naval Air Station Coronado
— on one side and the Glorietta Bay Marina on the other.
Every hole at Coronado is memorable but the 17th is its most famous — not for being a
great golf hole but rather a movie set. In 1958, the hole starred in the film classic Some
Like it Hot, which featured Marylyn Monroe, Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis. Part of the
17th, which sits opposite Coronado Yacht Club, was turned into a boat launch for one of the
film’s more memorable scenes.
Golf has been played on the island since 1898 - the year after the Hotel Del Coronado
opened - but the expansion of the Naval Air Station during World War II pushed the original
9-hole course aside.
Both the front and back nines at Coronado Municipal, the most southern course in the
U.S. west, are equally challenging and rewarding and on the first few holes it’s not unusual
to see Navy personal jogging and training on the road that runs parallel to the course.
Every 4th of July, Coronado Municipal shows its patriotic side by hosting a gigantic picnic
for military families that includes a massive fireworks display over Glorietta Bay.
A round at Coronado Municipal may be cheap but playing the experience of playing
there is priceless. •
• Getting a tee time at Coronado Municipal is never easy but if you’d like to try, go to www.golfcoronado.
com / Those staying at the Hotel Del Coronado have better chance because the hotel has some reserved
tee times set aside for guests. / Air Canada Rouge and WestJet offer flights to San Diego from several
Canadian cities. / For tourist information on San Diego, go to www.sandiego.org
Long-time elevator operator Andrew Loundsbury is one of the great attractions at the Del, along with the hotel’s elegant seaside family-style retreats.

After spending a day on Coronado’s incredible beaches, visitors and locals alike head for palm-lined Orange Avenue to enjoy a bite to eat.
Coronado’s chic Orange Avenue home to iconic Leroy’s restaurant
By Marc Atchison
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
C
ORONADO ISLAND, CA — It’s early evening when we wander onto
Orange Avenue, this enchanting island’s main thoroughfare, in search of
dining options. The divided street, a.k.a. State Route 75, is lined with lots
of stately buildings, some of which house the island’s landmark theatre and
library, fashionable restaurants and shops.
Orange Avenue is ground zero for locals and tourists alike — people gather
here each evening after a day of enjoying all this holiday island that sits directly
across from San Diego offers.
We poke our heads inside the upscale boutiques and souvenir shops gathered along Orange Avenue and make a promise to visit one of its many ice
cream parlours before returning to the legendary Hotel del Coronado, the
street’s most famous address.
We see lots of restaurants but the sound of live music coming from one, Leroy’s Kitchen & Lounge, peaks our curiosity.
We scour the street-side menu which promotes the restaurant’s commitment to “farm-to-table” ingredients and are intrigued by the “truffled fries”
and “naughty ding-dong” desert being featured.
A few minutes later, we’re sitting at a table admiring the modern chic trappings that Leroy’s dining room comes wrapped in and our mouths begin to
water as we look at the culinary choices on offer.
Will we start with the “niman ranch deviled eggs” or the “crispy pork belly” or
the “squash soup infused with spiced cream?”
While we ponder, our young server tells us Leroy’s started out as a “hamburger joint” but changed “a few years ago” into a sophisticated room when
owner David Spatafore decided to create a restaurant that would stand out
from the others gathered along Orange Avenue. Interestingly, the street’s other
popular restaurants — Village Pizzeria, MooTime Creamery, Lil’ Piggy’s Bar-
52
January 2015
B-Q and Coronado Coffee Shop — are also owned by Spatafore’s Blue Ridge
Hospitality Company.
“David named Leroy’s after his cousin Leroy Mossel, who was part Dutch and
part Indonesian and our menu has lots of dishes that reflect those cultures,”
the server says.
Being a big supporter of local farmers, Spatafore was one of the first to introduce the “farm-to-table” concept to his eateries — a trend many other San
Diego-area restaurants have now copied — and the freshness of the ingredients makes Leroy’s fare very special.
Diversity is the key to Leroy’s success and thanks to the restaurant’s proximity
to local farms, chefs are able to come up with some interesting and exquisite
dishes, like mushroom and chèvre ravioli with chanterelle and black garlic or
roasted brussels sprouts with orange and chill marmalade.
Because the menu at Leroy’s changes seasonally, there’s always something
new to try but we hope they never leave off the deviled eggs or the naughty
ding dong — a marriage of chocolate cake and ice cream that’s sinfully good.
Leroy’s lunch menu is equally impressive — the truffled fries, udon noodle
and peanut salad and poke tacos are the top choices, we’re told.
Dinner also features a “farmer’s menu with wine pairing” which (the night
we were there) was highlighted by roasted el campito carrots, spinach and
parmesan followed by crispy trout accompanied by he shi ko chimichurri and
young faro and ended with a pumpkin mousse tart with a vanilla bean. The
price: $35-$45 per person. The experience: Priceless!
Leroy’s certainly stands out from other Coronado Island restaurants in more
ways than one! •
• Leroy’s is located at 1015 Orange Avenue in the village of Coronado. It’s open Monday
through Thursday 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Friday 11 a.m. to midnight, Saturday 10 a.m. to midnight and Sunday 10 a.m to 10 p.m. To make a reservation, call 619-437-6087 or send an
email to [email protected] / Leroy’s is a short drive from downtown San
Diego across the Coronado Bridge.

too. Like sharing your photos? With the optional WU-1a Wireless Adapter,* photos can appear instantly on your compatible
smartphone or tablet for easy sharing. Want more professional-looking photos, but unsure of the camera settings? D3200’s
built-in Guide Mode gives step-by-step help when you need it (it’s like having an expert at your side), and you can easily get
creative with built-in Image Effects, filters and more. And its all backed by Nikon Canada’s 2-year warranty for the camera,
and 5-year warranty for all NIKKOR lenses, both with in-Canada service. Now that’s peace of mind. Learn more at Nikon.ca

The Big House, which is decorated for the season, is the main gathering point for guests at Glendorn.
It’s home to the resort’s fine dining restaurant and offers a cozy setting all year long.
Information
• Glendorn is located just outside Bradford at 1000 Glendorn Drive. It’s an easy drive through
Buffalo and Orchid Park where the Bills play their home games to get to Bradford, the home
of the Zippo lighter.
• The Lodge at Glendorn is a four seasons resort and is only closed just briefly at Christmas.
There’s never a bad time to visit Glendorn but in the autumn, when the surrounding forest is
flush with bright colours, that’s when the resort looks its loveliest.

Rocky Mountaineer’s
On The Right
Track
PHOTOS COURTESY ROCKY MOUNTAINEER
From the time the Rocky Mountaineer leaves Vancouver bound for
Jasper National Park in Alberta, passengers are treated to the majesty
and grandeur which is the Canadian Rockies. The Mountaineer snakes
through some of the most gorgeous scenery on Earth and as the train
approaches waterfalls, wildlife and mountains that seem to touch the
sky, passengers rush to their open windows to record the moment. It’s
like travelling in your living room. Then, when it’s meal time, the Rocky
Mountaineer transforms into a 5-star dining experience with service and
meals that would not look out of place in the finest of restaurants.

5 Reasons to visit Jasper National Park
You might know Banff National Park better than
Jasper National Park, but there’s every reason to give
Jasper a fair shake. Here are five:
1
- You can log this claim to fame: Sipping a brew at
Canada’s first national park brewery. Head to Jasper Brewing Company, which opened in 2005, where
you’ll find popular brews like Jasper the Bear Ale.
2
- You can pretend you’re a National Geographer
photographer by taking pictures of one of the
world’s most photographed places, Spirit Island. Do
this via a Maligne Lake scenic cruise.
3
- You can enjoy that morning joe shoreside when
you slumber at the Fairmont Jasper, which sits
on the shores of Lac Beauvert. Then work off that
caffeine buzz by kayaking, canoeing, paddle boating,
hike, bike or play golf, all of which you can do from
the resort. After, hydrate with a Rooftop Honey Lager
made with honey from Fairmont’s beehives.
4
- You can put those hiking boots to the test. Jasper
boasts almost 1,000 kilometres of trails, which you
can tackle on your own or through a guided tour like
those offered by Walks and Talks Jasper.
5
- You can test fate by stepping out onto the
recently opened Glacier Skywalk, a glass-floor
observation platform that hangs almost 280 meters
over a glacier-formed valley.

• One word of caution: arrival times into Jasper are variable,
depending on how many stops you have made for other trains
en route. Our train didn’t arrive until well after 8 p.m. (one
train didn’t arrive until 2 a.m., I’m told).
• To find out schedules and prices on the Rocky Mountaineer, go

Rotterdam’s new Markthal is the most stunning public market in
the world. It’s curved walls and Sistine Chapel-like murals of produce make it the most unique on the planet but the Dutch treats
offered inside, above and opposite page, are still the best part.

• KLM (Royal Dutch Airlines) offers daily direct flights from Toronto to Amsterdam
and Rotterdam is just a quick train ride away.
• Rotterdam offers some excellent hotel deals — The Mainport Hotel, which looks out
on the River Maas, is the city’s newest property and its sleek modern design fits in
well with the city’s skyline. The 5-star property is one of the best deals in Europe and
visitors to Holland would be wise to base themselves in Rotterdam’s Mainport and
take day trips to Amsterdam, the Hague and other more expensive areas. For
information of the Mainport Hotel, go to http://www.mainporthotel.com
• If you’re looking for a great place to eat in Rotterdam, may we suggest Las Palmas,
which is owned by Dutch celebrity chef Herman den Blijker. The fish and meat dishes
here are divine and the restaurant’s decor is fabulous. For information:

The quaint hamlet of Inverness
has two of the best golf courses in
Canada. Cabot Links, top photo, is
regarded as a ‘Bucket List’ experience and its sister course, Cabot
Cliffs, above, which opens in 2015,
is already being talked about as
one of the best new golf courses in
the world. The Inverness courses,
combined with the island’s other
legendary courses like the Stanley
Thompson beauty at Keltic Lodge,
left, makes Cape Breton one of the
best destinations for golfers.

After a round on one of Nova Scotia’s iconic courses, there’s other activities for golfers to enjoy, like hikes along rugged shorelines that are simply stunning.
