So your trip is paid for, after weeks or months of planning, and you’re thinking all that’s left is to cram your entire wardrobe and kitchen sink into your suitcase or back pack.
Make sure your passport has enough pages and validity (more then 6 months) to last your entire trip.
A little planning is good. […]

Skiers who are planning a trip to Whistler in Canada for the Northern Hemisphere ski season might like to try their hand at a completely different activity when they feel like a break from the pistes. How about hitching and harnessing a team of Alaskan Racing Huskies?

I flew into Vancouver yesterday morning and did a morning trolley bus tour of the city (well worth doing to get an orientation of the city - what a gorgeous place and I wish I had allowed more time here) and then caught the afternoon bus up to Whistler. The journey along the Sea to […]
We skied the whole day today at Silver Star in British Columbia, Canada and we had perfect blue skies, no wind and only one or two people on any run we went on - unmatched skiing conditions. This day has officially gone down as my skiing day highlight. WOW. It was hard to get my head […]

I woke early to the sound of the snow plows heading up the mountain - what a perfect alarm clock at a ski resort. After a hearty breakfast and purchasing a bright pink crash helmet we headed up the mountain for a full day skiing. We paid for ski lessons in the morning and then […]

So as soon […]

I did a tour of the Chateau this morning. This […]
