wainwright, alberta – FIVE JOURNEYS WITH US!
While we were on the journey along the Douro through Spain and Portugal,
we stopped in a Portuguese bakery. Our Journey Manager Sally told us that there was a man who worked in this bakery that looked like Mr. Bean (Rowan Atkinson). If you saw his phenomenal mannerisms you would have believed this was the real Mr. Bean. I was wearing a ball cap from my time in the Canadian Military. When we were getting on the coach I gave Mr. Bean the hat. He seemed very happy. He then said, “don't move the bus”. A moment later he came back on with a bottle of a port wine and gave it to me. That connection was one of the highlights of that journey that still stands out in my mind.
When we pay for a Journey, there aren't any unexpected expenses. For example, when we would usually not know how much to tip, we don’t even need to think about it because they are included. There is someone else there to take care of it. Even choosing and paying for the excursions can normally be quite an undertaking and with a Journey you have that all picked out for us. The phrase we were sort of caught by was “you don't have to touch your wallet once”.

waterloo, ontario – THREE JOURNEYS WITH US!
While we were on the journey through Yukon and Alaska we enjoyed a spectacular ride in a seaplane over Juneau to see all of the mountains, glaciers and wildlife below. We then landed at a lodge to relax and enjoy a delicious Alaskan barbecue lunch. When we went inside to eat, we looked out the windows and saw a black bear come down from a tree 30 metres away where it turned out he had been keeping an eye on us. He wandered over to the barbecue and began cleaning up for us. It was a special way to see nature!
On all three of our journeys, the Journey Managers in our opinion were very knowledgeable on the countries that we were visiting. They added another dimension to the journey by giving us a lot of explanation and background information that we would not have otherwise known. When we visited Yukon and Alaska our Journey Manager Roland told stories about his experiences and introduced us to personal friends from when he lived in the Yukon years before. It made for an authentic, special experience.
