Is Vietnam on your bucket list?
I'm taking a group with Silversea in December 2021. Want to join me?
We're travelling from Singapore to Hong Kong, December 10-21, 2021. Want an amazing way to see 5 ports in 3 countries.
The names may seem familiar but nothing can prepare you for the epic beauty of Vietnam. From the natural beauty Ha Long Bay to the manmade artistry of the sacred temples and pagodas, to the rice terraces and beaches, Vietnam is more than a sum of its parts. Three days in wonderfully chaotic Ho Chi Minh City will excite even the most seasoned traveller while a final day at sea allows for plenty of R & R on board.
My partner, Mark Dzerowycz, from Silversea is going to give a Travel Tuesday zoom presentation this week October 6th at 5 pm est. (Yes, we're back!)

It was World Tourism Day this week.
Travel was the first industry hit by the global pandemic -
it was hit hardest, and it will be the last to recover.
Did you know 10.3% of the world’s economy depends on the travel and
tourism industry = $8.9 trillion. 1 in 10 jobs or 330 million people are
employed by the travel and tourism industry. And 1 in 4 new jobs were
created by Travel & tourism over the last 5 years (from @wtandtc .)

I love getting client reviews. Such as this wonderful one.(Thanks, Peggy!)
As I start my second decade with @visiontravel_ca as @sheila_lushlife , and my 14th year in this wacky world of travel, I am indebted to my fabulous clients.
Sometimes their kind words make this virus mess, and the current state of the travel industry, a little easier to take.
Thank you, Peggy, for your wonderful testimonial!
I know we will all travel again. We just have a long runway.

“Flexible and approachable
I had trips booked for Galapagos and Antarctica through Sheila before Covid hit. Sheila not only took care of all the details of rebooking these trips and the insurance but was able to use her vast connections to secure us a better cabin and saved us money. I would not have been able to secure anything like this on my own. She is always enjoyable to talk to and has so many great ideas for trips to help you find that perfect
one.

Is Iceland on your Bucket List?

I’m going to travel with Lindblad Expeditions to Iceland next July on a Wild Iceland Escape.
Six nights to escape to the “land of fire and ice” – I want to immerse myself in the land of fjords and volcanoes. And I want to go with the best-of-the-best expedition cruise partners.
Wanna join me?
And having just walked Zac Efron’s “Down to Earth” about Iceland, I’m more pumped than ever. Did you know that the country of Iceland can power itself 100% renewable sources?
