Private, You Say? Sure - why not?
With this nasty virus, we all are worried about crowds. So, travelling with your bubble is getting a lot more interest than usual.
I've already published a couple of blog articles about private travel.
Private Jets: https://www.lushlife.ca/private-jets/
Travel with your Bubble : https://www.lushlife.ca/travel-with-your-bubble/
And I've shared ideas about private island stays before too! How about a secluded private island resort in the southern Grenadines? (See video below, or click the link.)
And now - let's give some thought to Private Villa Stays!
A private villa rental is a great way to have your next vacation with minimal social interaction, but still have an enjoyable getaway and much-needed escape.
This coming Tuesday, my Travel Tuesday series will welcome CanLink Travel Representatives. We'll be talking about - Hotels, villas, and long term stays – how to travel safely. Our friends from Canlink Travel Representatives will be on our presentation to share their views. Canlink provides Canadian based representation for exceptional hotels, resorts and other sectors of the hospitality industry. (See below.)
Close to home or far-flung: There’s a private stay for every type of travel.
Here, are some picks for villa life near and far.
As we dust off our suitcases and venture back into the world, there’s a certain peace of mind to be found from settling into a private villa. Luxury villas have always rocked the perks with 24/7 butlers, pantries stocked with local goodies, and concierges who know how to pull the right strings for a meaningful experience. But seen through the lens of present-day reality, they’re also private sanctuaries, a holiday in a secure bubble. A private villa rental is a great way to have your next
vacation with minimal social interaction, but still have an enjoyable getaway and much-needed escape

In the ongoing effort to keep Canadians safe, the government has launched a program called ArriveCAN. On November 21, 2020, it became mandatory for all travellers to Canada to provide contact and quarantine information upon arrival.
How it Works
Travellers can either download the ArriveCAN app to their smart device or use the online form. When entering Canada by land, sea or air you must enter the following information to ArriveCAN:
- Travel and contact information
- Quarantine plan (unless exempt)
- COVID-19 self-assessment
Once you have submitted your information a receipt will be displayed. You must be ready to show the receipt to a Canadian border services officer either from the app as a screenshot or as a printout.
Your privacy is Protected with ArriveCAN:
- doesn’t use GPS or other technology on your mobile phone to track your location.
- uses only the information provided by you, the user.
The personal information provided through ArriveCAN is protected according to the Privacy Act.
Full details on the ArriveCAN program can be found

Northwest Territories - Northern Lights
|
|
One of my western colleagues at Vision Travel has put together a really special group to visit the Northern Lights in Northwest Territories this March.
Actually, she put together this small group with a re-known Canadian wildlife photographer, Dr. Wayne Lynch, around the Equinox with March 18-23, 2021. It quickly sold out.
She's now looking to do a second week of March 24-29, 2021, and is designing the trip to align with the Equinox to see the Northern Lights in Yellowknife (one of the top 3 places in the world to see Northern Lights). The photographer she is working with is a well-known Canadian wildlife specialist too, Dr. Wayne Lynch. http://waynelynch.ca/welcome.html
My colleague is reconfirming the last bits together on the pricing for the second week, but it looks like 6d, 5n for about $3600 Cdn/p for double and about $3900 Cdn for solo (excluding air, meals; including 3 Northern Lights Aurora viewing outings and some other special things). A winter gear package is available.
The trip only goes ahead if advisories lifted – and – if not, trip can be moved to March 2022. Let me know if you'd like the pdf for this trip, and would like to consider doing the trip for the second week of March 24-29, 2021.
We're also building an interest list for 2021. Let me know if you're interested.
