White Christmases are lovely…but we all tend to dream about warm beaches and tropical vacations when bundled up in the cold. Post Christmas sales on cruises are almost as good as the post-Turkey day sales. I am open for business the next three days to help you get a cruise booked for 2025 or 2026. Only $250 required to put a future cabin on hold with any major cruiseline…so why not get the deals before the prices go up in the new year?

Here is some friendly travel advice for today :
Reminder, there are many great travel deals out there to be found but it is very important to read all the terms and conditions before you pay any money towards a deal, so you know exactly what you are agreeing to any online deal. watch out for any non-refundable travel purchases. When it comes to cruises and hotel bookings, we are happy to help you with those to make sure you get the best pricing possible. We watch the deals daily, so we are well prepared to guide you in your travel search. : ) Jeanie and Kim

I have been getting many questions about the pros and cons of traveling the Canadian Rockies by train vs. by car. I will use these photos to outline the many “positives” of traveling with Rocky Mountaineer luxury rail service:

1) you can go places on the train tracks that cars can not go, and enjoy scenery that can not be viewed from any roads.
2) you get to ride on this beautiful train…it was a smooth ride most of the time.
3) any direction you look, you can see amazing views in this glass topped train car.
4) Snacks, Meals and Beverages (even the over 21 kind) are all included while on the train
5) The food was amazing!!!
And guest service was top tier.
6) Each train car filled with 60 friends you just haven’t met yet. If you are friendly, you will get to know some new friends while on the train.

Visit RockyMountaineer for more details on routes, lodging and amenities. But, PLEASE reach out to me when ready to get price quotes or book
the train.

Starting with the last day of our “Rocky Mountaineer” adventure 10/8 and working my way backwards with my posts. Though a bit nerve wracking for me to be so high up, traveling up Sulpher Mountain on a Gondola to overlook the amazing Rocky mountains in the Banff area was so worth it! If you want to learn more about traveling to Banff on the “Rocky Mountaineer”, please contact me!!! I’d love to help you make plans to experience this beautiful part of the world.

I will be sharing several posts this next week detailing my Canadian Rockies/ Banff train trip on “Rocky Mountaineer”. Completed the trip yesterday and still basking in the serenity of beautiful Banff and Calgary! Would love to share details of how you can take a similar trip, DM me for more info. Here’s a few nature highlights. (Most of these photos taken by others in my group who had better camera phone than I do)
