How are you doing? The great news about a vaccine on the horizon is certainly welcomed by the travel world. No doubt you too?!
One thing is for sure - we all are anxious to start travelling again. And that day will come soon. Last week, I shared some studies that planning for a trip is a great way to reduce stress. Having some semblance of normalcy is good, for sure - but it's looking forward to brighter days, and planning for them, that really helps us combat stress. I'm really ready to embrace what the authors of this report share: Why making plans helps manage pandemic stress . As the authors note: Covid-19 has turned all of our plans for 2020 upside down. But scheduling things is more important than ever in these strange times.
And we all know (or at least we should) that Travel And Exploration Spark Happiness, Study Suggests. So, what are you giving yourself this Christmas? What are you doing to reduce your pandemic stress? What travel plans are you making? This week, I have two ideas for you - and two zoom
presentations to get you thinking about travel.
On Tuesday, Dec.15th, I'll host Hurtigruten Expeditions for my regular Travel Tuesday to talk about their Arctic and Antarctic trips. Join us. Register Hurtigruten Tues Dec.15th
And on Wednesday, Dec.16th, I'm hosting a special Wine Wednesday. I'll be hosting my friends at Ritz Carlton Montreal for a special treat with the sommelier to teach us a little about wine for a half hour. You can buy your own to enjoy at home. Did you know that you can go to the Ritz in Montreal, stay the night, and order a special meal from their restaurant to have in your room. Think of it
as an immediate way to treat yourself. Register Ritz Carlton Montreal - Wine Wednesday

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.
