Newly reopened in 2024 after a major expansion, th Newly reopened in 2024 after a major expansion, the Museum of Anthropology at UBC is a must see for museum lovers. Not only is it a showcase of BC's Northwest Coast First Nations art and culture, it has an almost overwhelming collection of artifacts from Japan and southeast Asia. 

In addition, there are large exhibition spaces for current shows.  I Use My Haida Eyes, The History Robes of Jut-Ke-Nay-Hazel Wilson is a beautiful and touching retelling of Haida myths and culture and her life through applique, fabric and painting.

The rows of drawers that I remembered from my previous visits are still there, filled with treasures from around the world in addition to case after case of fascinating displays. Expect to spend hours, if not days, marveling at the MOA. #museum #firstnations #vancouver

Here's a peek at Loews Miami Beach. There's so muc Here's a peek at Loews Miami Beach. There's so much to love about this family friendly hotel. 

The location is optimal. Right on the beach with a huge pool, close enough to walk to lively Ocean Drive but still secluded. Several dining options on site including the iconic Rao's Italian steakhouse and the outdoor terrace at Collins. 

Many, many lawn chairs so you'll always find a place in the sun. The Sea Spa and fitness centre overlooks the pool through one way glass. Tons of indoor and outdoor activities for the kids. And, of course, the fabulous beach #loewsmiamibeachhotel #miamibeach #luxuryhotels
