GENERAL INFORMATION

Here we are in July already, where has the year gone. We have had some wonderful trips to date. Many more planned for the future......
We did the Amazon in January 2008, what a wonderful experience, we stayed for 2 nights right in the Amazon at a Eco Park Lodge an visited a village (this was one of my highlights of the trip) I cannot say enough about the experience of sailing the Amazon River and spending time there. It should be a must do on everyones list.
Just came back from doing the European Waterways in May, this is a great way to see Europe and we all enjoyed our time in Budapest.
We have many trips coming up in the next year, as well as planning for 2009 and 2010, so watch for all the changes coming up.

2009... yes 2009, it is closer than you think and have a great 15 day Antarctica Cruise booked with great pricing and optional pre & post cruise packages......am so looking forward to the Post package doing Machu Picchu and staying overnight in Machu Picchu itself
Waiting or pricing for 2009 - Greek Islands in Spring or Early Summer and then watch for a unforgettable trip 2009- EUROPEAN WATERWAYS.. will be offering this one again, space goes so fast that if a person is interested you have to get your deposits in really early, or else you miss out, the ships all sell out. It will be the same itinerary as 2008.
Check out our “up coming trips”, yes we have the itinerary and pricing in for 2010 Oberammergaus. “Passion Play”, we will be doing an extension pre and post trip. We will be touring the Alpine Countries before and after the play.

Check out the Upcoming trips and see what exciting trips we have planned.
Thank you for your support, it is appreciated.

PARKING COUPONS.

I find when going on my trips that I like to leave my car at Park N Fly, you can even get a oil change or have it cleaned when you are away. Here is a link to go to their Web Site and you can print off a coupon to get a special deal it is a electronic version of their e-coupon which entitles you to savings across Canada.

ROOM- MATES WANTED

• We are always needing room-mates for all the trips, the sooner you deposit the better, gives you the chance for upgrades if on a cruise line and also avoid dissapointment of group being sold out.

      An article in our daily paper, re-enforces why Travel Buddies has the policy that everyone traveling with the group must have insurance. They state.

INSURANCE --- DON’T TAKE OFF WITHOUT IT

      Whether your next vacation is to visit relatives across the country, a weekend trip to the U.S. (or in the states to Canada), a cruise or anything in-between, here are a few suggestions to help make sure you stay happy and healthy on your next vacation.
  1. Don’t leave your province-state of residence without medical insurance, as you may not have as much coverage as you think…(a lot of policies have a limit and some require you to pay for services and collect when you get home)

  2. Make sure to carry proof of travel insurance with you, along with the Companies name and phone number. Leave a copy of this information at home with family or friends, as well.

  3. Travel arrangements are often non-refundable so don’t risk losing your entire travel investments should something unexpected happen. ( Yes this does happen the unexpected and when it does it is a nightmare that no one wants to be in)
  4. Make sure your Passport is current. (most countries now require at least 6 months from date of departure)

  5. If you are a permanent resident of Canada, don’t forget that you require a Permanent Resident Card to return to Canada.
  6. Make sure that you are up to date on all your Immunizations. Contact your doctor or local travel-medicine clinic well in advance of your trip.
