I started by visiting different destinations for short stays and eventually started spending the month of February every year in different destinations. You get to know the people, the surroundings and the culture of each place. I would love to share some of this knowledge with you!!

Let me take you there! Mexico

Mexico has something for everyone.  I have been visiting this amazing country regularly for over 20 years.  I have been learning Spanish and it seemed logical however I fell in love with it and try to get there as often as possible.

Let me take you there! Cuba

Let me take you there! Dominican Republic

I have been to Punta Cana, Puerto Plata,and La Samana many times.

I love the Dominican.  You can always count on a hot sunny vacation.

Our favourite vacation south
Jo-Ann has been booking our annual 2-week vacations to the Caribbean for the past 10 years or so, at times joining us on our trip. Her destination suggestions are always welcome.
Jo-Ann is always available to provide pricing and information on hotel packages we are considering, providing us with pros and cons on each location.
