😂 Tell me you’re on vacation without telling me you’re on vacation! 🌴✈️ We’re all a little different when we’re on holiday! 🍹☀️

IS VACATION YOU A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PERSON?

HOME YOU:
$22 for a cocktail?!
Absolutely not. OK, maybe just one.

VACATION YOU:
It's served in a pineapple.
I'll take two. 🍹🍹

HOME YOU:
Up at 5:30 a.m.?
HAHAHAHA.

VACATION YOU:
But the sunrise is supposed to be AMAZING!

HOME YOU:
Walk 20,000 steps?
No thank you.

VACATION YOU:
Walks 20,000 steps around Rome, gets back to the hotel completely exhausted...
“Should we walk somewhere for dinner?”

HOME YOU:
Dessert AND another glass of wine?
I really shouldn't.

VACATION YOU:
You know what they say! When in Rome!

HOME YOU:
Nap in the middle of the afternoon?
I have things to DO.

VACATION YOU:
I've been lying beside the pool doing absolutely nothing for four hours.
I need a nap.

HOME YOU:
Gets annoyed driving 20 minutes across town.

VACATION YOU:
“It's only a 2½-hour train ride!”

HOME YOU:
I would never wear that.

VACATION YOU:
Buys enormous hat.
Wears enormous hat.
RETURNS HOME.
Never wears enormous hat again.

And then there's the hotel breakfast buffet...

At home:
Coffee... maybe toast.

On vacation:
Eggs. Bacon. Fruit. Pastry. Potatoes. Another pastry. Something you can't identify but you're trying it anyway...

What does VACATION YOU do that HOME YOU would NOT USUALLY do?

When do you start packing??? And do you over pack in a huge suitcase?
I used to be weeks before and packed way to much now it’s the night before and if I could get away with a carry I totally would lol
[email protected]

When does the suitcase come out?

🕜 Two weeks before - open on the floor, slowly collecting things.

🕑 Three days before - list made, outfits planned, feeling VERY organized.

🕠 The night before - completely reasonable. No further questions.

🕘 Approximately 45 minutes before leaving for the airport - while yelling “WHERE IS MY PASSPORT?!”

🕗 It never really got put away after the last trip.

But here's the OTHER question...

What KIND of packer are you?

🎒 Carry-on only.
Five days. Seven days. Two weeks. Doesn't matter. You have somehow mastered the dark art of fitting your life into an overhead bin.

🧳 The “I like options” packer.
Going away for 5 days?

Perfect.

20 outfits should do it.

Are you suddenly the kind of person who wears that dress you haven't worn once in the three years you've owned it?

So tell us...

👉 When do you pack?
👉 And are you Team carry-on OR Team 20 outfits and 7 pairs of shoes for 5 Days?

Mine for sure is to check out the views lol

BE HONEST.

You just checked into your hotel.

You've got approximately 90 seconds before the room no longer looks like nobody has ever stayed in it.

What's the FIRST thing you do?

🛏️ Pull back the sheets and inspect the bed.

🌅 Run to the window/balcony to see if that “ocean view” you paid extra for actually contains an ocean.

🚿 Check out the bathroom and shower.

🧴 Inspect the little toiletries like you're suddenly a shampoo connoisseur.

❄️ Find the thermostat and immediately make that room YOUR temperature.

📶 Connect to the Wi-Fi before you've even taken your shoes off.

🔌 Locate every electrical outlet because apparently hotels were once designed for people who travelled with one electronic device.

🍫 Check the minibar, see the prices, quietly close the minibar.

🧳 Put your suitcase on the luggage rack and begin the Bedbug Investigation: CSI Hotel Edition.

🚽 Or are you the person who has travelled all day, drops the bags and immediately announces:

“I HAVE TO PEE.”

Everyone has a hotel-room ritual.

What's yours? And don't tell us you just casually unpack like a normal person. We don't believe you.

The Big Question: “Will I Be Safe Vacationing in Mexico With My Family?” 🇲🇽☀️

I’ve shared this chart before and I’ve answered this question many times, but I’ve recently been asked about it again, so I felt it was time to share this information once more.

As a travel agent, this is one of the questions I hear most—and I completely understand why.

The honest answer is that no destination is completely risk-free, but millions of Canadians travel to Mexico every year and have wonderful, safe vacations.

When I help my clients plan a Mexico vacation, I look at where they are staying, the resort, the area, transportation, excursions and current travel advisories so we can make informed decisions before they go.

My biggest advice? Stay at reputable resorts, use reliable transportation, be aware of your surroundings, follow local advice and travel smart—just like you would anywhere else.

❤️ My job as your travel agent isn’t just to find you a beautiful resort. It’s to help you feel informed, prepared and confident about your vacation.

QUESTION FOR OUR TRAVEL PEOPLE! ✈️

When you book a trip with a travel advisor, how do you want your final travel documents?

📁 GIVE ME THE FOLDER.
Printed documents, everything organized, something I can physically flip through and easily refer back to before my trip so I don’t miss anything important.

📱 SAVE THE TREES.
Email it to me. I’m perfectly happy having everything on my phone.

🤷‍♀️ BOTH.
Because apparently I need the email and the folder to feel like I truly have my life together. 😂 (fun fact, this is ME) Ha.

I'm genuinely curious — which one are you?

👇 FOLDER, EMAIL or BOTH?

Travel Tip — Because “A Few Bucks Here & There” Adds Up to a LOT

That little machine that asks if you'd like to pay in Canadian dollars.

Seems helpful, right?

You recognize the amount. No mental math. No standing at the counter trying to remember whether you divide by 1.67 or multiply by 1.67 while the person behind you silently judges you.

But WAIT before you hit CAD.

There's something called Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) — and it's one of those little travel things that can quietly cost you money when paying with your credit card. So if you chose to pay in CAD in a foreign country, the DCC usually adds high markups and poor exchange rates.

Choose the local currency and leave the conversion to your card network/issuer instead. Your credit card may still charge a foreign transaction fee - that's a separate thing from the merchant's DCC.

ATMs can pull the same trick.

Now ya know!
