𝗪𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗺𝘆 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝗯𝗼𝘅 𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵?

After more than 10 years as a travel advisor, I’ve finally decided I have enough travel advice - and opinions - to start my own monthly newsletter.

And this one is a little different from the marketing emails my host agency’s head office sends on my behalf.

No endless lists of travel deals. No giant sale banners. No supplier promotions.

Just a short note from me with travel information I think is actually worth knowing - practical advice, things I’m seeing with clients, destinations on my radar and the occasional opinion.

It’ll land near the beginning of the month, and it’ll be short enough to read with your coffee.

Basically, my travel brain in your inbox once a month.

𝗪𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻?

Send me a private message with your email address and I’ll add you to the list.

Coffee = life. ☕️
And since it’s National Coffee Day, I have the perfect excuse to talk about one of my favourite things. (And share a few of the ridiculous number of coffee photos on my phone, lol.)

I cannot function without coffee. (Do not talk to me in the morning before I'm caffeinated.) But I love the ritual almost as much as the coffee itself.

At home, it’s that first cup while I scroll, read or work on something. When I travel, it’s an excuse to sit for a while - look at the view, people watch, soak in where I am.

I’ve had coffee overlooking the Caribbean, in the Costa Rican rainforest, at sidewalk cafés in Europe, somewhere over the Atlantic and at the lake. The ritual is always one of my favourite parts.

Oh ya, and I am technically a certified Costa Rican coffee master. I have paperwork. 😘

Anyone else love coffee as much as I do?

Not all of my clients create elaborate award graphics declaring me the “Greatest Travel Agent in the World.”

Full disclosure: Jason is my brother. But also for the record, I did NOT ask him to make this. He surprised me with it yesterday after getting home from Argentina, while I’m currently up to my eyeballs planning our upcoming Italy trip.

I’m not entirely sure whether this is genuine appreciation or an elaborate attempt to make sure I don’t put him in the last row beside the bathroom on our next flight. 😂

Either way, I’ll take the five stars. And the crown. 🥰

There’s a real vacation-planning lesson behind this joke.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with having a firm vacation budget. But the lower the budget, the more flexible everything else needs to become. Your dates. Your destination. Your resort. Your room. Your amenities.

The lower the budget, the shorter the wish list. And if the goal is the absolute lowest possible price, there may not be much of a wish list at all.

Because lower prices come with compromises. Maybe it’s older rooms, more basic food and drinks, fewer amenities, less consistent service, or a resort that’s simply showing its age. Those things can sound perfectly reasonable when you’re sitting at home looking at a price on a screen.

It’s easy to think, “That’s fine. I just want to lie on a beach and relax for a week.” But the reality is, you’ll be sleeping on that uncomfortable bed, drinking that bottom-shelf liquor and spending your afternoons on those plastic pool loungers. Something that sounds perfectly fine in theory can feel a whole lot less fine by day three of playing “guess the mystery meat” at the buffet.

And that’s the part that’s easy to forget. Cheap isn’t free. You’re still spending real money and using your vacation time.

So if keeping the price as low as possible is the priority, flexibility is non-negotiable. Give yourself a range of travel dates. Be open to different destinations. And think carefully about which resort features really matter to you.

Because the question isn’t just, “How cheap can I get this?”

It’s also, “What am I willing to give up to get there?”

09/21/2026

The perfect resort doesn’t exist.

I’m reminded of this every time I see someone crowdsource their vacation on Facebook.

Someone posts, “We want an all-inclusive vacation to Mexico or the Caribbean. What resort would you recommend?”
And then everybody piles in.
“We LOVED this place.”
“My neighbor just got back from this one and said it was amazing.”
“My cousin takes her family here every year.”

Which is all very nice, except none of these people are going on your vacation.

Maybe one person travelled with three kids and you’re looking for a quiet week away with your husband. Maybe somebody spent $2,000 and somebody else spent $20,000. Maybe Aunt Sally’s neighbor's cousin thinks a resort with a giant water park is fantastic, while you care way more about the beach, the food, or having somewhere peaceful to disappear for a week.

That doesn’t make any of those resorts bad. It just means “we loved it” is not nearly enough information to decide where somebody else should spend their vacation.

This is why I ask so many questions. Who’s travelling? What kind of vacation do you want? What matters most? What would drive you crazy? Is the beach more important than the pool? Do you want quiet and relaxed or lots going on?

Even “I want a great beach” needs more questions. A lot of my prairie clients are all about the beach. I mean, come on, we don’t exactly have an ocean sitting in the backyard. But what does a great beach mean to you? Calm water you can actually swim in? A long beach for walking? Beautiful sand and a gorgeous view? Good snorkelling? Those are not always the same beach.

And that’s just one piece of it. Some people want a buffet. Some want à la carte restaurants as often as possible. Some absolutely want premium liquor. For others, that would never make the list. Some want a café for coffee and snacks. Some love room service. Others would never use it. Beach and pool wait service can be a must-have for one person and mean absolutely nothing to someone else.

There are hundreds of all-inclusive resorts out there, but I’m not starting from scratch every time someone comes to me. I have go-to resorts. I also have resorts I avoid recommending because I see the same issues come up over and over again. Sometimes what I don’t send you is just as important as what I do.

When I narrow things down to two or three options, I’m not saying those are the only good resorts out there. Based on what you’ve told me, they’re the ones I think will give you the most things on your wishlist within the budget you want to spend.

That really is the goal. Get you as many of the things that matter to you as I can, for the money you want to spend.

That’s also why you won’t see me posting hundreds of random cheap deals on my page. Even a “cheap” vacation is still a lot of money, and I’m not going to promote a resort I wouldn’t feel good about sending one of my clients to.

I’ve walked the grounds of more than 75 resorts myself. I’ve stayed at resorts I loved that I would never recommend to certain clients. And there are resorts I wouldn’t personally choose for my own vacation that I know would be exactly right for somebody else.

I’m not choosing my vacation. I’m choosing yours.

There is no resort that is perfect for everybody. There is just the resort that is the best fit for you, for this trip, for the things you care about and for what you want to spend.

So when someone asks me, “What’s the best all-inclusive resort?” my answer is always going to be the same.

Best for who?

𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗮 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁. 🇨🇦

If your Canadian passport is coming up for renewal, you’ve got a few different ways to do it now.

𝟭: 𝗕𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹

The old-fashioned route. Fill out the form, get your photos done and mail everything in. Current service standard is 20 business days, plus mailing time.

𝟮: 𝗢𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲

Online renewal is now available for eligible adults. You complete the application online and upload a digital passport photo that meets Canada’s requirements. The guideline is also up to 20 business days, plus mailing time.

That was actually our first plan. The problem was finding someone who could provide the proper digital photo. After a couple of failed attempts in Regina, we ditched that idea.

𝟯: 𝗜𝗻 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻

This is where my husband and I took two different routes.

He went to the Service Canada passport office in Regina on September 1. He got his instant passport photos done in Regina, walked in first thing in the morning, had no lineup and was finished in about 20 minutes. The Regina office offers a 10-business-day processing standard, and his passport arrived September 7.

I took the rural Saskatchewan route. I had my photos done locally in Carlyle and used the Service Canada outreach that comes to town every second Wednesday. I was there about an hour, but I also saved myself roughly four hours of driving to Regina and back. They gave me information to track my application online.

One advantage to applying in person is having an experienced set of eyes look over everything before it goes into the system. They can catch missing information, mistakes or photo issues right there, rather than having your application rejected, mailed back and starting all over again.

Canada also now has a “30 business days or free” guarantee. If processing a complete application takes more than 30 business days, the passport fee is refunded. Mailing time doesn’t count.

So how is mine doing?

I applied September 2. My application falls under the 20-business-day processing standard, plus mailing time, and I was told to expect my passport by around October 16. As of today, it has been received and is under review. Next comes printing and mailing, and the tracker says everything is still within the normal processing time.

And this is where my little passport saga gets interesting. I leave for Italy on October 18.

Yes, I am a travel agent. Yes, I know better. In my defense, I had just been travelling and still needed the passport I was renewing.

So now we wait. My husband’s Regina passport is safely back in his hands. Mine is somewhere in the system working its way toward the printer.

Stay tuned for the next instalment of 𝙒𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙏𝙧𝙖𝙫𝙚𝙡 𝘼𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙃𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙖 𝙋𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙄𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙮?

Greek food vs. Italian food.

I honestly did not realize this was even a debate until we went to Greece last year. Because Italy is basically the poster child for travelling to Europe for the food. Pasta. Pizza. Risotto. Gelato. All the things.

But everywhere I turned, people who had travelled to both countries were telling me that Greek food is better. And then we went to Greece & I understood what they were talking about.

The tomatoes that actually taste like tomatoes. The feta. The olive oil. Fresh seafood and calamari. Grilled meats with lemon and herbs. Tzatziki. And gyros in basically every form we could get our hands on - we lived on them. Everything tasted so fresh and sooo good.

Greece has been very much on my brain this week. I have clients just home from Greece, others getting ready to leave right away, and a couple Greece trips I am currently quoting.

And because I can't stop thinking about it, tonight's supper turned into our Saskatchewan-style version of Greek food: grilled beef, warm pita, tomatoes and a very generous amount of tzatziki. (Yes, Frajolaki. I grew up thinking this was just a normal Greek-food thing you could get anywhere. Turns out it is very much a Saskatchewan thing. IYKYK.) It isn't exactly something you're going to find on the menu in a little Greek taverna, but the flavours took me right back.

I miss Greece & there's a good chance I accidentally book another trip there soon. 😘

The timing is kind of perfect, though, because next month we're heading to Italy. So I feel like I am about to conduct some very important travel research.

Greece had an excellent showing last year. Italy, you're up.

For those of you who have eaten your way through both, which one gets your vote for the better food trip: Greece or Italy? 🇬🇷 🇮🇹

𝗜 𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝘀𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗯𝗶𝗿𝗱 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗽… 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗲𝘁 𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗵𝘆.

If you’re thinking about a winter vacation, here are three things I want you to know right now:

• September is not early. This has been my busiest summer for booking winter vacations yet. A lot of my clients already have their all-inclusive beach getaways deposited.

• Prices are going up as plane seats and hotel rooms fill. I’m already seeing the same trips cost a lot more than they did last month.

• My best-bang-for-your-buck resorts are already selling out for some winter dates. I have my go-to resorts - the ones that price well for what you get, have good food, good beaches, lots to do and consistently make my clients happy. I’m already finding stretches of dates where some of those resorts are completely unavailable.

𝗦𝗼, 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁? You can. But it’s a gamble.

I always compare it to a garage sale. Go early and you get to choose. Go late and maybe things are marked down, but you’re choosing from whatever everybody else left behind.

Vacation planning works a lot like that.

The resorts that consistently fill their rooms don’t need to lower their prices. And when you see something heavily discounted later, sometimes it’s worth asking why there are still so many rooms available when everything else has been filling up.

Waiting might work out. But when you’re spending thousands of dollars on a vacation either way, I think the better question is: 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹?

I’d rather help you find the best vacation while we still have the most choices.

“𝗪𝗲’𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗰ú𝗻.” 𝗢𝗸𝗮𝘆… 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗰ú𝗻?

Because with so many nonstop flights from the Prairies, it’s easy to think of Cancún as one repeat destination when really, the Mexican Caribbean can give you a completely different vacation every single trip.

I’ve visited 75+ resorts along this coastline, and that’s one of the things I love most about this part of Mexico. Well, that and the beaches. I am a beach girl, after all.

𝗖𝗢𝗦𝗧𝗔 𝗠𝗨𝗝𝗘𝗥𝗘𝗦 / 𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗬𝗔 𝗠𝗨𝗝𝗘𝗥𝗘𝗦
This is the relaxed, resort-focused vacation. Think newer resorts, modern design - where you can settle in for the week & be perfectly happy staying put.

Great pools, beautiful rooms, good food. And the beaches. Wide stretches of sand & that ridiculous Caribbean blue water.

Did I mention I like beaches?

𝗖𝗔𝗡𝗖Ú𝗡 𝗛𝗢𝗧𝗘𝗟 𝗭𝗢𝗡𝗘
Completely different vibe. The resorts tend to be taller & more compact, with some absolutely spectacular Caribbean views.

You’ve got restaurants, shopping & nightlife close by. It's an urban-style vacation that feels like you’re in the middle of things rather than tucked away in a large resort complex.

And the water. That almost-unreal turquoise blue is hard to beat.

𝗥𝗜𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗥𝗔 𝗠𝗔𝗬𝗔
Head south and the experience changes. You’ll find lush, tropical properties, sprawling resort complexes, huge pools, water parks, long walking paths and resorts that can feel like little worlds of their own.

You’re also in a fantastic position for cenotes, eco-parks, ruins, snorkeling & just about every kind of excursion imaginable.

And the beaches? Let’s just say they are not all created equal - and you bet I know which ones are worth getting excited about.

And this is by no means every option along the coast - just a few examples - but even within the Riviera Maya, there’s plenty of variety.

𝗣𝘂𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗼 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗼𝘀 gives you a smaller-town feel & great reef access.

𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗮 𝗱𝗲𝗹 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗮𝗰𝗮𝗿 give you walkability. Depending on where you stay, you can literally walk off your resort and into Playa for restaurants, shopping and Fifth Avenue.

𝗣𝘂𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗼 𝗔𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝘀 gives you a marina community feel, with restaurants, shops & easy access to boating and fishing excursions.

𝗔𝗸𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗹 brings protected bays, turtles, snorkeling, dive shops & beach bars into the picture.

𝗧𝘂𝗹𝘂𝗺 gives you a different mix again, with beach resorts, jungle surroundings & easier access to some of the area’s best-known archaeological & nature experiences.

Same airport. Same coastline. Very different vacations.

So yes, you may have been to Cancún before. That definitely doesn’t mean you’ve seen all the ways you can vacation here.

𝗢𝗸𝗮𝘆, 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻. 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻?

08/29/2026

𝗦𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗦𝗮𝘀𝗸𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀, 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗽𝗲𝗴 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀.

Regina may be our closest airport, but for a lot of us in this corner of the province, Winnipeg is still a very reasonable drive - and sometimes that extra time on the road opens up a whole different set of nonstop winter vacation options.

And for my Manitoba friends, Winnipeg is already the obvious jumping-off point - and you’ve got a pretty impressive winter-sun lineup sitting there this year.

That’s especially worth knowing this winter, because Winnipeg has some really good direct lift to Mexico, the Caribbean and Central America.

For winter 2026/27, you can fly nonstop from Winnipeg to:

𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗽𝗲𝗴 - 𝗬𝗪𝗚

• Cancun
• Puerto Vallarta
• Mazatlán
• Los Cabos
• Huatulco
• Punta Cana
• Puerto Plata
• Belize City
• Liberia, Costa Rica
• Montego Bay, Jamaica

And this is exactly why I don’t automatically look at only one departure airport when I’m helping someone plan a winter vacation.

Sometimes Regina is absolutely the best choice. And sometimes it makes sense to drive a little farther to Winnipeg if it means getting the destination you want on one flight - especially in winter, when taking a connection out of the equation also means one less chance of getting stranded somewhere because of a blizzard.

If you’ve been saying, “We should book something this winter,” consider this another little nudge.
