Visiting my home country to see how the tourism industry is returning. I'm also seeing it through new eyes as I travel with someone who has never visited the country before. Love sharing this experience.

It has been awhile since I have been on the International side at YVR - 2 yrs and 24 days to be exact. I'm excited to be on this little hopper to get me to the big plane that will take me across the ocean!

Looking forward to some sun, sand and most importantly family time!

For those that are wanting to travel, you will need to download and show your new Canadian Proof of Vaccination record. For those in BC it is fairly painless, just use your BC services app.

No so quietly!. It is about time the risk rating actually reflected the risk!

Canada has lifted a blanket advisory against all non-essential travel outside the country which had been in place since the pandemic was declared in March 2020.

For all the mixed vaccine recipients, you will be accepted into the USA starting November 8th!! Woohoo

Another question answered :-)

Following weeks of speculation, the United States announced late Friday it will accept mixed vaccines when new rules kick in on Nov. 8 requiring all foreign travellers to the country to be fully vaccinated.

This is how I spent my weekend. The Whistler Sailing regatta was hosted by the Whistler Sailing Association . Great wind, great weather. Pleasant days spent on Alta Lake with the flags.

I enjoy being a member of the club and our race days. Maybe next year I will be sailing instead of volunteering...

SUSTAINABLE SUNDAY
Pick local business operators for your excursions. They provide jobs for the people living in the area. This benefits the community as the money you spend on the activity remains in the region.

Thank You Bronwen.
When you shared with me your experience on the Rocky Mountaineer, I started remembering my train travels as a kid.
I am sharing my video I captured yesterday. 😎

Captured the Rocky Mountaineer as it passed through Whistler.I love the sound and sight of a train. Makes me feel like a kid again!

After a bit of a hectic start **Reminder - check validity of your documents, before going to the airport, otherwise it will be hectic** I made it to Banff for the start of my Rocky Mountaineer Adventure. First I overnighted at the beautifully historic Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel - late night stroll resulted in many photos and identifying the perfect reading nook. Next day, got on the Rocky Mountaineer, an adventure I had always wanted to try! It was an amazing experience. Breakfast served at your seat so you could take in the majestic Rocky Mountains...no better start to the day.

Instead of taking all your time and sharing my 6 billion photos, I have selected just a few!

Tough day in the office today! Riding the Rocky Mountaineer and being spoiled.

Hi, I'm Bronwen from Personal Travel Management. Something to know about me, I love watching my little seedlings grow! I planted my seeds on the weekend and they are shooting through, I'm so excited to watch them flourish. Today I put a fan on them to try to toughen them up ready for the outside world. It's going to be so delicious when I can make my first salad with our own greens!

It's the same feeling I get when I plan someone's vacation, excitement watching the plan come together and so proud when my clients return having such a wonderful time and telling me the stories.
