creating memories and experiencing new sights, sounds and cultures
I love to be able to get away from all the stress of work and financial worries and just relax
I love just getting away from it all. It doesn’t really matter where. As soon as I get up in the air I forget about all of my worries back home.
love going on cruises and air canada flies me to the port cities
I love to travel because I love to eat and try new foods.
What I love most about travelling? Seeing the world in a different light, from a different angle. It makes home seem more interesting when you get back too, because you’re reminded that it’s new and exciting for other people who visit.
My husband and I are both busy through out the year, he works away from home most of the year and we don’t get to spend much alone time ‘unplugged’ The best way for us to keep our marriage strong is to take a holiday together where we’re away from work and family stress, and no one calling us 10 times a day. But sometimes it’s just not possible due to income.
Now that we are empty nesters, we discovered our passion is seeing the world! We just had our first trip to Mexico and loved it. I love figuring out where to go and the thrill of take -off to our holiday.
Travelling means so many things – but broadening our education is foremost.
By viewing the world through the eyes of other peoples, experiencing their culture, food, history and languages – while sharing our own with them, we expand our horizons and narrow the gaps between people around the globe.
In this way maybe we can save Planet Earth for future generations to enjoy!
Thanks Air Canada for helping to bring our distances closer together!
I love the opportunity to once again be stimulated by my environment. Seeing the same thing day after day can get pretty boring. A new locale creates instant interest.
There’s something about vacationing that let’s you appreciate things differently. Usually we take the country we live in for granted. Travelling somewhere new makes everything, a park, a goat, food really exciting.
Ma troisième passion lors d’un voyage est lors de la découverte culinaire du pays ou je suis, j’adore essayer de nouveaux mets des nouvells cultures ou je suis. Je découvre tellements pleins de bonnes et belles choses manger que ceci agrémente mon voyage au plus haut point.
Traveling gives us a lot of chance to spend quality time together as a family , not only we experience different cultures and its also a good learning experience for my Kids , its something books can’t teach .Traveling creates priceless memories that we would talk about as time goes by
Try to remember all the good times you have with your family and possibly friends you meet while on vacation. Two years ago my sister, brother and myself when to Punta Cana. We knew it would be the last trip my brother would be able to make. I video taped a good deal of the trip with him enjoying himself and having fun. I don’t remember him as he was in his last days but turn on the videos and remember him as he was on that vacation. One never knows if one of the people that you take on vacation will be ther next year although we did know. So please savour every moment of precious memories you have together.
I love the whole process…the planning…then the airport..I love airports and the plane…The feel of power when it takes off. Then getting off in a new place. If the place is warm with flowers and the ocean. I am in heaven. I love the smell, sounds everything!
Beautiful memory. We went to Vancouver to visit my mother to surprise her and take her out for her 84th birthday. She was so happy that we came. A few months later she was hospitalized and passed away. We have these amazing times in our lives, cherished moments.
