Summer has officially begun, which means it’s time to take a break from your busy life – and what better way than to embark on an adventure! Here are the Top 10 Summer Travel Destinations for 2015 – both within Canada and international. This is a great list of iconic places to visit, that offer…
I think we’ve all heard from someone (if not from many), that ‘Prince Edward Island is Beautiful.’ Since I’d never before visited our smallest Canadian province on the east coast, I had always wondered – how so? How is PEI beautiful? Simply because of the landscape? What does ‘a beautiful place’ truly mean? Recently I…
When thinking of our time spent at Velas Vallarta in Puerto Vallarta Mexico, this phrase comes to mind: Happy Kids, Happy Vacation It’s true, we as a family had the best time, kids and adults included. This all-inclusive resort just a short drive from both the airport and Puerto Vallarta, really does cater to all….
When travelling, we always make a point to venture off the hotel or resort, explore the area, and talk with locals. It’s our way of fully soaking in the experience and getting to know the destination and the people – to the fullest. While taking in in Nayarit Mexico for the first time recently, we met…
Before going to any destination for the first time, I make a short-list of things I’d like to do and attractions I need to see. Usually when away on a press/business trip, there isn’t ample time to explore aimlessly, yet I’m pretty resourceful when it comes to squeezing in the time to see the highlights and…
We recently visited Louisville Kentucky for the first time, a trip planned for a cheerleading competition for my oldest daughter. I have to admit that when I first learned about the trip, many months prior, I wasn’t all that excited about going. I mean, when I think about my must-see bucket list of US cities…
What are your summer plans? Us, we always stick closer to home during the summer months, and take in local activities and attractions. We might visit other provinces within Canada, but we rarely leave the country. After all, we Canadians have such a long and bitter winter, yet our summer weather is simply amazing. Many…
I was bitten by the travel bug while on my first ever {big} vacation – to Europe. This started an intense passion like no other, and since then have had passports full of stamps from all over the world. After having children, I didn’t let my love for travelling get lost in the chaos of daily…
So, your family doesn’t fit the typical two adult, two child model {mine sure doesn’t!} Does this mean cruising is out of the question? Ten years ago the answer might have been yes. Not only were cruises cost prohibitive, there were few rooms available that could accommodate a larger family. Today the situation is different….
In the breathtaking British Columbia Rockies, there is a mountain resort called Nipika, nestled in a valley just outside Kootenay National Park. Just a 20 minute drive from Invermere, Nipika Mountain Resort is a place that brings you back to the basics. It’s a resort that the family goes to unwind, connect, unplug and play….
Other than our first couple of trips when we needed an agent to hold our hand, we’ve since booked all our hotels and vacations online, ourselves. There’s a lot to be said about sitting at home all cozy, with destination tabs open on the computer, and letting your fingers plan the magic of the escape. The…
This March break, many Canadian families from coast-to-coast will be travelling to sunnier setting to escape the last of the winter chill. As Canada’s leading full-service online travel provider, Expedia.ca knows just how popular a choice visiting a Disney Park is. If you need convincing check out my Disney Parks articles here on My Organized…
When it comes to traveling with kids, some hotels just knock it out of the park. Sheraton Macao is one of those hotels. The property, which boasts almost 4,000 rooms on the Cotai Strip, has partnered with Dreamworks to offer fun and interactive programs that let kids get face-to-face with their favourite Dreamworks characters like Shrek…
Holiday airfare is not only expensive, it sometimes can be impossible to book if you wait too long or need to change your plans. Saving money on holiday airfare also happens to be something that a lot of travellers think isn’t possible, but there are ways to shave dollars off normal fares, and even save…
It’s a fact that travel has been a true passion of mine for many years. The spark started on my very first trip ever, a school exchange to Europe in High School. This excursion to France and Germany started a flame that only grew stronger. It’s a longing to explore + live + experience the…
I’m fortunate that the City of Calgary is just a quick drive from where I live. It’s a city that we visit often – to take in attractions, do some fantastic shopping yet usually our stay is a wonderful mix of it all. One favourite through the years is a visit to The Calgary Zoo….
In a previous post, I showed you our cabin accommodations, during our stay at the Pine Lake Leisure Club with thanks to Parkbridge. Yet, a #glamping experience isn’t complete, without all the great amenities that this resort has to offer. Pine Lake Leisure Club has some great amenities for their guests, ones that really up…
Earlier this month the kids and I stayed at one of the Pine Lake Leisure Club Cabins, by Parkbridge. Just before our stay, my husband was called to work, so I invited a friend and her two kids to stay with us for the weekend. A multi-family summer trip to the lake? Sounds fun, right?…
