The winter of 2007/2008 has arrived with a vengeance. Ontario's many snowmobile enthusiasts view the combination of colder than normal temperatures and an abundance of snow so early in the season as a sure sign of a great season of snowmobiling to come. Additionally, Ontario's many winter resort and tourist operators who have, over the past few years, seen their businesses suffer from lack of snow and milder temperatures, are welcoming the change. This year the only problem snowmobilers might have is deciding where to plan their winter vacation. However, many snowmobile enthusiasts are turning to the Bancroft area of Ontario for their winter getaway for several reasons.

First, the province of Ontario has one of the very best snowmobile trail systems in the world. Ontario has a number of winter tourist destinations that cater to snowmobilers, and there are literally thousands of miles of groomed trails and hundreds of organized clubs and associations for the snowmobile enthusiast to choose from. The 250 member clubs within the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs encompass over 42,000 kilometres of groomed snowmobile trails that are divided into 17 distinct areas within the province. With so many trails and snowmobile destinations to choose from in Ontario, snowmobile buffs may have trouble deciding where to go for their snowmobile getaway. The economic impact of snowmobiling in Canada is huge - about six billion dollars a year-and many winter sports enthusiasts enjoy coming to an area that can support their love of snowmobiling.

Secondly, the convenience to larger cities brings many snowmobilers to the area for their winter vacation destinations. Some of the finest Ontario snowmobile trails can be found in and around the town of Bancroft in District 2. Located within an easy drive of Toronto, Ottawa and Belleville, known as the Bancroft area, includes the towns of Apsley, Coe Hill and Gilmour which offers over 400 kilometres of scenic trails over a variety of exciting terrain. While some snowmobilers like the remote aspect of smaller towns, others prefer the variety of activities that they can take part in by being near larger cities, that way they can spend a day out in the snow and then return to the city at night for a nice dinner or an evening of sight-seeing.

Another factor that draws snowmobilers to the area is the wide range of services offered. Whether it's snowmobile friendly resort accommodations or a wide range of dining options, these small resort towns offer something for everyone - from economy motels and coffee shops to upscale lodges and fine dining. Additionally, the location of some of the resorts allow guests to park their trailer at the resort and ride right from the door to experience hundreds of kilometres of scenic groomed trails that also connect to the Haliburton and Algonquin Highlands trail systems. For guests that want to experience the thrill of snowmobiling but don't have their own machine, there are also snowmobile rentals available at nearby snowmobile dealerships.

No matter where snowmobilers decide to ride in Ontario this winter conditions should be much more appealing than last. With a good base of snow already established during the first week of December, many trail systems are already partially open. And, with all reports pointing to a colder and snowier winter, this snowmobile season is destined to be one of the best in years.

For those who have not set foot in Langkawi in a while, and are planning for great culinary adventure on the island, you are in for a treat.

Make yourselves welcome at Pantai Tengah, just south of Pantai Cenang, at the south-west tip of main island of Langkawi. Pantai Tengah today now hosts trendy, unique up-and-coming restaurants and bars.

The night is always young in this district. When asked “Where can I go for a great dinner?”, or “What can I do later tonight?” the answer just might be “Head to Pantai Tengah”.

And off with a steady piece of this action is Sungroup of Langkawi (http://www.sungroup-langkawi.com), boasting the best and trendiest eatery and bars ever to hit this island. An enticing variety of restaurants under this chain is Sun Café, Matahari Malay Restaurant, Sunvillage Grill and Sunsutra. For a night of lounging or chilling, head to Sunba Retro Bar or Sunkarma Chillout Lounge.

And let’s not forget other remarkable establishments under the Sungroup chain. There is the very beautiful and secluded boutique resort Sunset Beach Resort, aside from the Sunflower Handicrafts Shop for you to peruse for that souvenir to take home.

Let’s check out their individual styles and identity.

All Day Dining at Sun Café - http://www.sungroup-langkawi.com/suncafe

Sun Café will become your favorite place to have great food all day everyday. Boasting (and quite frankly, tales have been told) of great service and atmosphere, the truth lies not far behind. Indeed, Sun Café has a casual feel about it, allowing you to be comfortable in shorts and flip-flops. The selection of dishes is superb, both in presentation and taste – and does not choke you budget-wise.

Have a try of their house specialty, the Grilled Fillet of Barracuda.

To finish off the meal, try the succulent and creamy Crème Brulee for dessert. You won’t be disappointed.

Another unique feature to Sun Cafe is its open-air concept for a restroom area. Within a short distance, along a nicely landscaped walkway, you will get to see and utilize this amazing his-hers toilets overlooking the same glass pond. You might ask, “How is that possible?”. It is possible, and it is an out of this world experience!

Tasting Tradition at Matahari Malay Restaurant - http://www.sungroup-langkawi.com/matahari

This is Sungroup’s award-winning restaurant, serving authentic Malay cooking by local kampung (read: village) ladies. A favorite Langkawi eatery for foreign and local tourists, you will experience a blend of local herbs and spices in their specialty platter called Nasi Campur Kampung. The selection of dishes in this platter is delicious, and might even be a new experience for Malaysian or regional guests.

This restaurant is set in an amazing landscaped property, along with its sibling restaurant, the Sunvillage Grill.

‘It’s So Fresh!’ Seafood at Sunvillage Grill Restaurant - http://www.sungroup-langkawi.com/sunvillage

Famous for its freshly caught seafood, this restaurant offers guests outdoor patio dining or under a large gazebo.

They look so mouth-watering, accompanied with vegetables and potato salad.

Repeat customers have returned to enjoy more of what this delectable eatery has to offer. Open from 6.00pm to midnight, every night, your Langkawi dining experience is sure to be a satisfying and full one.
