The Polar Star cruise offers great views of Newfoundland.

The editors at TraveLife have been busy finding stories for your enjoyment.

This week, four of our finest contributors sent us their recent travel experiences and we're now sharing them with our readers at http://www.travelife.ca/

One of the stories was contributed by Brian Brown and Laurel Rowbotham, two excellent Toronto-based writers who have become TraveLife's cruise experts. Brian and Laurel are renowned for finding great cruise deals at rock bottom prices and their latest story deals with their trip around Newfoundland and Labrador aboard the Polar Star, a fine Canadian vessel that offers discounted trips around Canada's youngest province in the shoulder season. Brian and Laurel write about the delightful people they met at stops along the voyage and the amazing scenery they saw from the deck of the Polar Star.

Another of our newest stories was contributed by TraveLife regular Cynthia Dial, a California-based writer and author of many travel books who recently attended a food festival on the South Pacific island of Guam. The American island, which saw its share of horror during World War II, is now an oasis of calm where people go to surf in the choppy waters and enjoy some great island delicacies.

Jane Holt, a Montreal-based writer, tells TraveLife readers about the House she happened upon while touring the Kowloon side of Hong Kong recently. However, as Jane points out in her entertaining story, Hullett House is no ordinary House. The charming colonial structure named after English scholar Richmond William Hullett that opened in 1881, was once the most important “house” in the former British colony because it was home to the famed Hong Kong Royal Marine Police. From its lofty perch on Canton Road atop Tsim Sha Tsui, the highest point on the Kowloon side – very near where the famed Star Ferry boats still dock - Hullett House afforded the Marine Police uninterrupted views of Hong Kong’s bustling harbour. It's now been brought back to life and its original brilliance.

Karen Asp, a writer based in Indianapolis, takes TraveLife readers on a joy ride around San Francisco on bikes and Go Carts she and her family rented during a recent visit to America's most beautiful city. The bikes and street legal Go Carts can be rented rather cheaply but offer up a lot of fun for travellers hoping to save a little money on a vacation in the City by the Bay.
