Best Travel Experiences 2011

by Tazim Damji

Last year we said goodbye to the West Coast of Canada and moved from Vancouver to Calgary. The thing I miss most about living there is the proximity to Seattle, Washington. Just a hop, skip and a 2 hour drive away, we could eat vegan donuts at Mighty O, enjoy  climbing up hill to have food at the always-delicious Plum Bistro, and escape for a few days. During our most recent trip to Seattle (in late August), we discovered the best (vegan)Thai food restaurant outside of Thailand, toured the ...

Arabica Lounge Café Seattle Travel

by Tazim Damji

After the most delicious Thai food outside of Thailand, down the street—we stopped in to this little corner café in Seattle, Washington. The Arabica Lounge is a relaxed, hip café where I could see people spending several hours. . .lounging around. I loved the vintage-look interior, the different places where you can sit and hang out, and most of all—the great coffee.  ...

Avatar Exhibit at the Science Fiction Museum—Seattle, Washington Travel

by Tazim Damji

The Science Fiction Museum at the Experience Music Project in Seattle Washington is a museum that I like going back to multiple times. The museum used to have an amazing collection of old science fiction books, with tons of information on the history of science fiction. My favourite part of it was the great props from and exhibits of Star Trek shows. Now, in the main space they have an Avatar exhibit, and a Battlestar Galactica exhibit upstairs. I really loved seeing the Avatar movie, and ...

Westin Seattle Downtown Review

by Tazim Damji

On our recent trip to the USA we went through Seattle for a few days, because it was cheaper to fly out from there. . .and it is always great to visit the city. For the first day we stayed in the Westin Seattle Downtown, since it was Greg's birthday and we got a good deal on Hotwire. Staying right downtown in Seattle is great because so many things are within walking distance. We were able to take the Monorail and visit Seattle Center (where the museums and the Space Needle is), plus check ...

Vivace Coffee Shop —Seattle, Washington Travel

by Tazim Damji

It probably isn't a secret that Seattle, Washington is a great city for coffee lovers. I'd like to say that I have always had a good americano or espresso there, but it isn't true. There are certain coffee companies that I always look out for in Seattle—and I don't mean Starbucks! I prefer to go to smaller, local coffee shops where they use some of the best coffee company's beans to make their drinks. One coffee shop that I recently tried out on my trip to Seattle, is Espresso Vivace. Vivace ...

Go Seattle Card—Seattle, Washington Travel Review

by Tazim Damji

Seattle is an expensive city to travel in. The hotels are not the greatest value, and the attractions are pricey. Although I've been to Seattle, Washington many times in the past, I had only been to a few of the many attractions in the city until this past trip. I had the opportunity to check out quite a few attractions using the Go Seattle —and even got to skip to the front of the line at some of the sites! The Go Seattle Card lets you go to typical attractions like museums, ...

Quick Notes From the Road —Seattle & West Texas

by Tazim Damji

This month-long trip to the USA started out like many others—with a stop in Seattle, Washington. It's so much cheaper to fly out from Seattle, and Greg and I both love visiting the city. Seattle We took a 4 hour train ride from Vancouver to Seattle on 2 hours of sleep, the day after we watched movers put everything we own in to a moving van eventually bound for Calgary, Alberta. Greg's birthday—Sunday, was spent at a nice hotel, which I'll tell you about later. We spent 3 days eating vegan ...
