Sandals Montego Bay – New Look, Enduring Passion, One Love

By //  by Candace Sampson Leave a Comment

Is Tahiti Good For Families? A Parents Guide to Paradise

By //  by Candace Sampson 2 Comments

Is Tahiti good for families? It’s a question many parents ask and with good reason. The Islands of Tahiti are not a quick trip from anywhere on the globe.

Titus Mountain – A Quick Winter Escape Close to Ottawa!

By //  by Candace Sampson Leave a Comment

On a recent trip to Titus Mountain in The Adirondacks in upstate New York, I accomplished something I never thought possible—I skied a black diamond hill.

Bock, bock. Needless to say, when my daughters and I visited the Titus Mountain Family Ski Center and I effortlessly skied down a black diamond, I was …

By //  by Candace Sampson 1 Comment

A series of flight delays meant we missed our French Bee flight out of SFO and we were stuck in San Francisco. In other words, best travel delay ever. Finding yourself stuck in San Francisco due to a …

What Is TICO and How Can They Protect Your Next Vacation?

By //  by Candace Sampson Leave a Comment

There are few things we purchase in life that hold more meaning to us than travel. When we purchase a vacation we are buying memories, connection, and experience. Those feelings simply don’t appear when you’re buying toilet paper at a local box store. It’s only natural then, that if things go wrong on our vacation, we seek to hold someone responsible. Sometimes our response is rational, and other times, because we’re so emotionally invested in our holiday, it’s possibly a little …
