If anyone knows me they know I love beer! 🍻
So Avalon Waterways really piqued my interest with Beer River Cruises!

Select departures feature world renowned brewing experts such as Austrian Bierpapst himself, Conrad Seidl, and acclaimed brewer and beer sommelier, Dennis Kort, on a special Tulip Time cruise departure in Holland.

What intinerary intrigues you the most?

Almost the weekend. Running to the border to pick up a parcel? Some gambling at Grand Portage? Lunch in Grand Marais?

What would happen if you got into a car accident? Had a medical emergency? Twisted your ankle while on the trail at Gooseberry?

Do you know that you can purchase annual emergency medical insurance that will allow you to travel out of the country for up to 4, 10 or 30 days at a time? Unlimited trips for one small price.

The 4 day plan is as little as 50$ per person

No more having to think about getting insurance on Friday afternoon, for those quick weekends away to Duluth. You are covered.

Let me help you have that peace of mind, for you and the whole family.

It can be intimidating to drive in Europe. Not just in the countries that drive on the left!
So why not sit back and let someone else do it for you!

Ahhhh train travel. It’s becoming a favourite.

From the iconic architecture and legendary food and drink, Ireland has so much to offer - and there's no better way to see it all than by rail. Let Railbooke...

Just booked clients on a train voyage from London to Paris and beyond.

Railbookers curated the experience to the itinerary they preferred. Nothing cookie cutter about this trip.

This company knows its stuff and can navigate the complicated rail system with expertise.

Getting from city to city, the most expeditiously and civilly, may be my new favourite way of travel.

Superb dinner tonight. The seafood pot pie was delicious. Then a walk along the boardwalk watching the fireworks happening at EPCOT, ( which you can walk to from this resort). Final stop for an adult beverage at Abracadabar before heading home.

What a wondrous place, Disney Springs is in Walt Disney World.

There is a free, nearly 10-minute show runs nightly during the summer and features hundreds of drones that light up the sky above the water to create 400-foot-tall versions of Disney characters and icon

Free parking. No park ticket required. Lots of shops and restaurants and all the magic of Disney.

Sunsets from the deck and a pool to ourselves. The grounds here are the cleanest I’ve ever seen. Meticulously maintained. Disney Springs tonight for some music. 🎤🎶

Hold onto your hats, folks!

We're embarking on an adventure-filled week of sun, fun, and character breakfasts in the land of Mickey Mouse!

But first, a welcome drink at the Premium Plaza Lounge, Toronto Pearson International Airport! 🍊🌞🎉

Cheers, travellers!

Do you bring back souvenirs for those who stayed home?

As a woman it can sometimes be intimidating travelling alone, and to be honest, in a group of couples, sometimes lonely.
On that note, Insight Vacations has curated a collection of 11 Women-Only Tours.
These tours are for women, by women. Small groups of less than 20, and plenty of solo rooms.
For women who want to follow their curiosity with confidence

First tours start in 2025, with destinations like Portugal, Egypt, Morocco, Scotland, India & Nepal, as well as the US.

Let's make some unforgettable memories.

Travel with a diverse group of women on immersive and enriching guided tours that triumph local women’s achievements in their local communities.

Happy St. Patricks Day!

I am checking out resorts for clients on this blustery day, and wondering...

Do most travellers prefer a large resort, or a smaller boutique hotel? There are so many benefits to each !

If you had YOUR druthers, which woud YOU choose?

03/16/2024

Just like that, we switch from "get me out of this cold weather" to "where should we go for an escape this summer?"

Paris has always been a favourite of mine... iconic architecture, flutes of effervescent champagne, buttery croissants, legendary fashion, dedication to the arts, and elevated gastronomy... I could go on !

What's on your Paris list?
Let's plan your trip now.
