Happy Cabbie NYC! Every year we travel to some pretty amazing destinations to find the world’s leading eyewear of distinction to bring back to Halifax. In April we headed to New York to see what we could find. With all our appointments taken care of, evening events attended, art appreciated and tunes grooved to, we […]
It’s that time of year when you reflect somewhat and look forward even more, this is exactly what I did when I realised that it’d been a few months since our last blog! Oops – there’s a New Year’s Resolution right there! Must do better! 2015 … WOW! What a great year! As a young […]
After so many wonderful days of eye geekery, it was definitely time to head home. Day six was done, we had finished with the expo, safely hopped on board the shuttle bus headed to the airport and settled down. We traversed Manhattan on the way out and managed a last fleeting glimpse of some of […]
Wow! Our sixth day in NYC, this trip has turned into quite some marathon! With yet more appointments, though, it was time to dig deep and find the energy and enthusiasm to keep going. All packed up, a quick coffee and muffin at the Yotel does the trick and we head off back to the […]

Phew, we made it! That was our immediate thought on arriving in New York, but now the sun is rising on our first day and we have something which is a little strange to us all, some free time! What to do? There were many different options. Should we just have a fun day seeing […]
What a week! Late March, our flights are all scheduled, we’ve re-jigged our diary and all prepared to take head down to New York on the first flight on Thursday morning to get us to our first workshop for 10 am. Taking the days out of Ocean’s diary is a big commitment for both Dr. […]
