Accent Inns Blog

Sure, we thought about coming up with a new and exciting name for our blog: Ol’ Bloggy Blog.
The Duck Stops Here. Kevin.

But at the end of the day, our Google experts said that if people are looking for our blog, they aren’t going to search “The Duck Stops Here”. Or sadly, “Kevin”.

(By the way, if you do come up with a great name for the blog, let us know—and then we’ll let our experts know, who will let Google and Bing and all the other search engines know. You know?)

It’s About How To Travel!

I was writing a recent blog post on movies shot on location in B.C. and for some inexplicable reason the 1987 movie Planes, Trains and Automobiles came to mind.

World Class Wine Touring

As a food, wine and travel writer I’ve done my share of touring wineries, not just in North America but across Europe too and I can assure readers that the Okanagan Valley stacks up against the best in the world when it comes to a wine touring paradise.
