    Vancouver Airport Marriott Hotel in Richmond, BC

    April 4, 2017 - By 

    That’s right you read the title correctly. The Vancouver Airport Marriott Hotel is in Richmond, BC. It’s a quirky thing that several Richmond hotels are not identified as hotels in Richmond, BC. Such is the case here with this lovely hotel stationed about a 10 minute drive from the Vancouver Airport. The Vancouver Airport Marriott Hotel in Richmond is the best of both worlds. How is the Vancouver Airport Marriott Hotel the best of both worlds? Well, let me explain. It is close enough to the Vancouver Airport to make travel simple and convenient.

    Teen Travel – When Are They Ready To Go Solo?

    March 26, 2017 - By

In this day and age of spread out families, international job opportunities, and easy long distance travel, solo teen travel is becoming more common. The question becomes this: How do you know when they’re ready to travel on their own? Maybe your teen has taken the bus around town or the train to an Aunt or Uncle’s Home a few cities away. They have most definitely done a bit of family travel with you their parents. But as for flying on their own, well that’s…

    Mad River Glen – The East Coast’s Most Authentic Ski Experience #IFWTWA

    March 21, 2017 - By 

    We started out twice on the morning we planned to meet up with our host at Mad River Glen. German Flats Road is slippery and winding. One of those mountain roads that you only find in ski states like Vermont, where there are signs dotting the roadway that say Moose Crossing. Clearly, we’re not in London anymore. All along the highway on the way into Vermont I marvelled at the strange winding single lane mountain roads. Our GPS threaded us through the APP Gap, and eventually we made it through to Sugarbush Resort where we stayed. For two days we skied,…

    Making Memories All Year at Lakes of Wasaga #ParkbridgeLife #IFWTWA

    February 28, 2017 - By 

    Many of my happy childhood travel memories were set in, or around, Wasaga Beach. My Mom drove us to Wasaga Beach every year, until my brother and I were in high school. Our summers were spent making memories together in Collingwood and Wasaga. We were Three Musketeers, and we lived for those summer adventures. Now, decades later, I still treasure those times, even while building my own lasting family memories with my kids and my husband. This past Family Day, just like the one in 2016, we packed up our skis and gear and drove to Lakes of Wasaga. Our Family Ski…
