Exploring Ontario: Relax & Rejuvenate At The Liberty Inn Nordic Spa Hotel – Caledon’s Hidden Gem

It’s been a busy 2025 for us because we’ve been downsizing – again to simplify our lives and hopefully give us the chance to travel a bit more. As a result, we haven’t been venturing far, sticking mostly to local spots. Then, out of the blue, we received an invitation to experience The Liberty Inn Nordic Spa Hotel in Caledon!

Although not exactly a travel article, this was an experience that included travel and adventure… Originally published on a racing website in 2007, we’ve included it here for our readers to hopefully enjoy. We both got to enjoy the experience, but Gail wrote the article. Ride of a lifetime … we’ve heard that expression used before with previous generations of Champ Car and Indy Car two-seaters, and to me it always sounded so cliché – so when I was asked to help promote the Champ Car F1X2 (F1 times 2) two-seater program I promised myself that I would find a more apt description for the experience.
