Permission to Carry More Luggage – Pack for a Purpose

November 17, 2018 - by Melody Wren

Air Canada now has an application for excess baggage. Not a reason to add in a few extra pairs of shoes, the application process is for humanitarian purposes, including the transportation of live rescue cats and dogs.Explore

How to Breeze Through Security

September 19, 2018 - by Melody Wren

Security is always changing, so read details online about the particular airport you are flying into or out of to insure you know what to expect. I was in too many airports to mention this past summer, and one airport in particular asked me to remove my watch…which was a first for me. Chatting with a woman in the same line, she said she’d been asked her to remove her earrings. As I travel often, I wear either open-toed sandals or slip on shoes and minimal jewellery; all my liquids are carefully measured in a clear zip lock bag.Explore

Travel Insurance – Know What’s Excluded Before You Go

September 13, 2017 - by Anne Brobyn

Insurance Exclusions

We’ve all heard the horror stories about travellers who thought they had the right coverage, but then find out too late about the exclusion clauses. Understanding travel insurance is difficult and interpretation is always present in these lengthy legally binding policies. Hopefully I can shed some light on what to look for so you never get caught. This is one time you will want to read the fine print.Explore

Not All Travel Sites are Created Equal

September 12, 2017 - by Anne Brobyn

Not all travel sites are created equal

We’ve all been there. Reading online reviews about destinations, hotels, car rentals and other travel suppliers. However, all sites are not created equal. Just as you might have a friend who highly recommends a hotel, another just might not be of the same opinion. Reading one bad review should not deter you from looking further, especially when 10 others say it’s fantastic. However if you read five similarly bad reviews on an aspect that is important to you, then take heed and look elsewhere.Explore

The Benefits of Travelling Off Season

September 12, 2017 - by Anne Brobyn

Travelling Off-Season

Most of us look for the value in any purchase, so if you’re looking to stretch your travel dollar, think of the benefits of travelling off season.  If you don’t like crowds of tourists and want to feel special and privileged, without long lineups, you will have a more genuine experience in a destination when you travel off season. Imagine St. Mark’s Square in Venice without any tourists – heaven! And then heading off to a small café in the back streets where a warming cup of hot chocolate and blanket await you.Explore
