Dear
Dave,
I chat with travel agents every day,
and it is good to hear that most are
cautiously optimistic about future
travel. Most tell me that many of
their clients want to travel this
Winter and next Summer, while
keeping an eye on the constantly
evolving pandemic. So, while the
kids are going back to school, it
seems that agents are remembering
their booking skills.
|
As we did last year, we are still
following all of the rules and
traveling locally. Last month we
enjoyed an easy hike at the
Kinsol Trestle,
near Shawnigan Lake.
|
Get out and explore our beautiful
local parks and attractions.
Stay safe and strong.
Sincerely,
Dave Emery

For most of us, health and mental
wellbeing are important in our
lives. We believe that truly
wholesome wellbeing can be found in
the fresh air, being close with
mother Earth - giving yourself time
to breathe and think. Wellness
holidays will allow clients to focus
on their health and treat
themselves. Many clients find that a
few simple changes to their
lifestyle can make a world of
difference in their health.
