    Nine Reasons to Stay in Saint-Sauveur Quebec

    October 28, 2023 / No Comments

    It’s no secret that we adore Quebec in any season. In the wintery months, we often take at least one road trip to Mont Tremblant ski resort and village to revisit the extraordinary trails where we learned to ski as a family. While Tremblant is a huge draw for tourists both nationally and internationally, there’s so much more to see in the Laurentians.   In this area of Quebec there are numerous villages and cities that are charming, relaxing, scenic and affordable. You won’t have to search too long to find great food or a spectacular relaxing spa for the day. Places like St Agathe, St Jerome and Saint-Sauveur Quebec each…

    Rent An RV Directly From Owners – Win a Dream Trip!

    June 4, 2019 /

    This post has been sponsored by RVshare, which means I received compensation. Just last fall we took our first ever RV trip. It was something we had been talking about forever. When we got started we fell hard for the RV lifestyle. That RV road trip through Northern Ontario was one of our favourite family adventures. But we don’t own an RV and yet we’d love so much to do this again some day soon. If you are at all thinking the same thing, you might be excited to hear about an RV rental that can help you experience the RV lifestyle. Rent Directly From Owners RVshare offers RV rentals…

    February 25, 2019 /

    Everybody wants to know how to save money on gas. What if that could be done by attending to fuel mileage over time with a few small changes to your habits? Well, with the prices of gas constantly fluctuating any and all tips are welcome here. Fuel saving techniques are obviously related to driving habits, but did you know they are also dependent on vehicle maintenance? It’s true. Combined with changing your driving habits a bit, regular vehicle maintenance can make an impact on your fuel mileage and gas costs. I mean individually each idea here is not extremely new, but if you pay attention to most or all of these…

    Nine Things You Need in Your Winter Emergency Kit Now

    January 25, 2019 /

    Do you have a winter emergency kit? Have you considered what would happen if you got stranded in a snowstorm or other wintery weather disaster? Here’s hoping you never are in that situation, but what if you were? Weather related weirdness is the rule rather than the exception in so many areas of the world right now. So, it makes sense to be prepared for anything that comes your way. It’s common sense when traveling during the harsh winter months, whether it be just across town or several miles or hundred miles away to always keep an Emergency Kit in your vehicle. There are dozens of ways to encounter problems and…

    Bring on The Sun, Summer Fun Awaits!

    June 18, 2018 /

    Summer fun is right around the corner. The sun is out, the temperatures are finally where they should be. It’s time to get out and enjoy the warmer months. I am a July baby. So is my oldest daughter. We seem to come by our love of summer naturally. It’s a happy, calm sort of season that breeds a feeling of contentment. We love to take road trips and hit the beach when the weather turns warm. And we have a pool, so as soon as the pool opens we are in summer fun mode. Pool parties, beaches and family travel are some of my favourite things. But every single…

    Educational Books from Lonely Planet Kids Encourage Exploration

    May 30, 2018 /

    Educational books are always top on my packing list when it comes to keeping kids occupied on trips. These types of books help broaden a child’s horizons and keep them interested in learning. We’re planning a road trip or two this summer and as any diligent parent who travels with family knows the key to successful road trips is preparation. That’s why I’ll be loading the van up with resources for the kids to stay busy. Gadgets will help of course and some of my free printables always make the trip. But this summer I am bringing some excellent educational books from Lonely Planet Kids to help encourage my kids…

    Getting Road Trip Ready for Spring and Summer

    May 14, 2018 /

    Road trip ready is a motto I live by. As a travel writer, I take many trips, and when spring and summer roll around, I’m on the road pretty often. In case you are not familiar with the life of a travel writer or travel blogger here’s a sample of what it’s like sometimes. Wednesday morning email or call comes in asking you to be in Quebec, or to drive to cottage country Friday around noon. Drop everything, pack and drive or fly. Not a lot of time for planning. Which is why I strive to be travel ready and road trip ready always. In the summer every year, my…

    Buying Snow Tires – What You Need to Know

    January 15, 2018 /

    Buying snow tires is something I have debated and put off for a couple of winter seasons now. Last year I got new all-season tires in the spring and assumed they’d get me through the winter. It wasn’t a super snowy year, but there were a few challenging winter road trips, especially on our annual trip to Vermont. This year with all the snow in the forecast, and the number of ski road trips we take, I knew I needed them so I started shopping months ago. I had so many questions initially. Are they worth the money? What kind should I buy? Which snow tires are best with my…

    Five Free Travel Games to Make Road Trips More Fun

    July 12, 2017 /

    Travel games are a great way to make any trip better. They are especially good, however, for road tripping. Road trips involve long hours crammed together in the car, and while at first blush this can seem like a great way to promote family bonding, in a few hours, everyone typically is a little bit cranky. That being said, travel games can turn road trips into a fun experience from start to finish and free travel games are even better.   5 Free Travel Games to Keep the Road Trip Moving We all have our favorite games to play on the road.
