I just can not believe the unbelievable rates that are flying around the internet for flights from New York to London and return. For the prices I have seen, I can not even fly from Vancouver (that is where I am) to Toronto! I, for one, just love price wars, especially when it [...]

From solo piano performances to trios, quartets and full seven-piece bands, the many sounds and styles of jazz will take center stage aboard the award-winning Crystal Symphony’s December Jazz theme cruise.
