For the second year in a row, Victoria has topped the list. 🎉

In Condé Nast Traveler’s 37th readers' choice awards, Victoria was named the top small city, while Vancouver ranked 6th among big cities. 🏙️

Over half a million people participated in the survey.

A lovely ride to work this morning along Dallas Road before meeting my 90 guests from the Lindblad/National Geographic Venture that are in Victoria for the day. (If you zoom in you will see the small expedition ship. That’s the ship my guests are on.) 😉

Have you heard about the new rules of travelling to the U.S.A with a dog? They come into effect August 1! Be informed.

Starting on August 1, 2024, dogs entering or returning to the United States must meet new, specific requirements depending on where they have been in the 6 months before entering the U.S. and where they received their rabies vaccines (if required).

Beautiful day cruising the Pacific Marine Route on southern Vancouver Island. Is Vancouver Island on your bucket list but you’re not sure how or where to start (planning)? Give me a call. I specialize in creating custom itineraries for someone like you.

Another picture perfect day to host the Lindblad/National Geographic Quest, sister ship to the Venture that was here last week. The 63 guest’s onboard experienced Victoria in all its grandeur, wrapping up with a private reception at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria. And what’s a reception without an amazing culinary experience. Enter House of Boateng, the culinary maestro who always creates tantalizing canapés with every bite being a symphony of flavors. Fabulous day!

A great kick-off to the season with Lindblad/National Geographic expeditions. Their first ship of (our) season sailed into Victoria yesterday with 69 guests aboard. They had a fun filled day of adventure and cultural immersion, wrapping it up with a fabulous reception at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria.
