Can you spot me in this 2011 throwback?

Hint: I’m wearing blue. That should narrow it down.

I was fighting for more direct flights from YEG then, and 15 years later, I’m still at it.

Air Canada is launching nonstop flights from Edmonton to Montego Bay, Jamaica, on Mondays beginning December 7.

Jamaica is open for business and needs our support. Filling this flight also shows Air Canada that Edmonton and Western Canada will support more service from YEG.

More full flights = more reasons to give us more nonstop flights.

Would you fly nonstop from YEG to Jamaica? Let me know below, or send me a message if Jamaica is on your winter wish list.

Flying WestJet between late July and mid-August? Read this before you travel.

With ongoing labour negotiations, there’s a lot of misinformation circulating online.

I’ve put together a simple guide that explains:
• What the current situation actually is
• The key dates to watch
• When disruptions are most likely
• What you should do (and what you don’t need to do)
• When things are expected to return to normal

The goal isn’t to create panic. It’s to help you travel prepared.

Swipe through the slides to see the timeline, and save this post in case your travel falls during these dates.

If you booked through me and have questions about your trip, I’m here to help.

Have questions? Drop them in the comments or send me a message.

This little pin represents something important to me.
In an industry where anyone can call themselves a travel advisor, professional certification matters.
My ACTA certification reflects ongoing education, industry training, and a commitment to staying current in a world where travel rules, destinations, and supplier policies are constantly changing.
When you’re investing thousands of dollars in a vacation, cruise, guided tour, or destination wedding, it’s worth working with someone who has invested in their profession too.
Thank you to all of my clients who trust me with their travel plans. ❤️

'The Joy of Traveling Well' isn't just about the destinations you visit. It's about how the journey makes you feel.

The freedom to explore at your own pace. The excitement of discovering new places. The pleasure of exceptional cuisine and attentive service. The comfort of knowing every detail has been thoughtfully taken care of.

That's what makes an Oceania Cruises voyage so unforgettable.

Because traveling well is about more than simply seeing the world. It's about immersing yourself in it and creating memories that stay with you long after you've returned home.

Curious if Oceania Cruises is the right fit for your next adventure? Reach out anytime. I'd be happy to help you explore the possibilities.

Some journeys are more than vacations. They are deeply personal.

This family traveled to France to visit Normandy and Juno Beach, honoring the memory of a late husband, friend and father who proudly served our country. Together, they walked the beaches, cemeteries, and memorials that tell the story of extraordinary sacrifice.

It was an emotional and meaningful journey, and I am grateful to have helped make this special trip possible.

Travel has the power to connect us to history, to healing, and to the people we love most.

Where would you like your next meaningful journey to take you?
