    How to Pack For a Ski Trip

    November 20, 2018 - By 

    It’s almost ski season and that means it’s almost time to pack for a ski trip. Packing for a ski vacation is easier with a little organization. I say easier because there’s a lot of gear and a lot to remember too. But, the best way to make sure you have everything required for your trip is to start a list of course. You won’t want to leave anything important behind because let’s be honest it’s cold out there and also expensive. YOU don’t want to get to your destination missing something vital and then have to buy it or…

    Top 5 Frequently Asked Disney Vacation Questions

    November 13, 2018 - By 

    This is a sponsored conversation with local business Click the Mouse London.  Let’s face it, a Disney trip is a rite of passage, an experience you have to share with your kids at least once. Even if your kids aren’t big on princesses or Mickey Mouse, you don’t want your kids to miss the chance to experience the wonder and joy only a major theme park can offer.   In both Disney and Universal parks, the immersive experience can’t be beat and the level of service is second to none. But if you aren’t very familiar with Disney and Universal…

    Stay Healthy on a Cruise Ship with These 7 Tips

    November 6, 2018 - By 

    How do you stay healthy on a cruise ship? Staying healthy is always important, but it’s even more important while cruising. Even the cleanest cruise ship sees hundreds of thousands of passengers pass through every room on the ship over the course of a year. That’s a lot of opportunity for germs and bacteria to spread. In addition to that, you’ll find new foods, and you’ll be tempted to overextend yourself in other ways in an effort to maximize your fun. While it’s your vacation and a great time to do all the things and try all the foods, you…

    7 Reasons We Love Vermont Skiing

    October 23, 2018 - By 

    Vermont skiing is our happy place. As you can probably tell from the many posts I’ve done on the subject, we are a family of skiers. My entire family came to this game late. I only learned how to ski in my 40s!! But ever since that first season when we strapped ski boots on and took lessons at Mont Tremblant, we were hooked. We love to get out on the slopes for the day and then return to a cozy, warm room to relax and unwind. We’ve skied in several places but one of our favorite places to ski…

    Nine of the Best Reasons To Love Fall Camping in Ontario

    October 16, 2018 - By 

    The golden leaves lit by sleepy sunrises, the rhythm of an afternoon canoe ride, followed by a brisk evening walk through lush wide open forests, and plumes of smoke swirling together as you watch the crackling campfire. Relieved of their crowds after Labour Day, a fall RV Camping experience in Ontario’s Provincial Parks will help you slow down and listen, romanced by Fall camping in Ontario. As a summer lover, I’ve never considered fall in Ontario an ideal time to travel, camp, or explore. With its long sprawling sun drenched days full of swimming, fishing, hiking and cottages, summer naturally lends…

    Everything You Need To Know About Cruise Gratuities

    October 9, 2018 - By 

    Cruise gratuities are still murky and confusing to many travellers. Of course, most travellers and tourists want to be fair. After all, the crew does work hard. They have to keep droves of people happy over the course of a week or two, and they have to do it all under somewhat stressful conditions. On the other hand, we’d also like to leave the cruise without going into debt. There has to be a happy medium. Or perhaps just a general guide on how and when to tip. That’s why I’ve put together this guide to cruise gratuities. Using this,…

    October 2, 2018 - By 

    What’s one of your favourite outdoor adventures? Recently we discovered a spot that wowed us with lush Carolinian forests, nearby beaches, darkest of skies, and thrilling outdoor activities all day long. You might be surprised to discover it’s closer than you realized. Right before school returned I decided to take the girls somewhere fun.

    How to Embrace Self Care Before Every Trip

    September 28, 2018 - By 

    Before every trip here I have a list of work obligations and personal details to get through. Not going to lie. Sometimes it gets hairy. One by one each task slowly gets ticked off my To Do List. Of course there’s packing and getting organized, but those are mostly routine jobs I can do quickly. I also have a specific self care routine that allows me to strive towards being in good health during the trip. That means paying attention to a few consistent things before every trip. Travel is truly an epic adventure always and it’s also hard work…

    Who knew that Norfolk County was a destination full of potential adventures so close to home? I certainly had no idea when I booked a quick trip to visit Long Point Eco Adventures this summer. In fact, I originally pictured a few fun activities and some relaxing at the beach. What we ended up with was so much more.

(my guilty pleasure) Then we landed on Long…
