You Won't Believe What I Saw at the Mall!

Do you know what I saw at the mall on the weekend? School supplies! Yes, children everywhere are cringing and parents are chilling champagne.
Here in Calgary, Alberta, we are in the midst of a glorious summer and I don’t want to rain on anyone's parade. BUT…fall and winter are coming and southern vacations are on sale now! For those wanting to cash in on early bird specials, the time is right. As we draw closer to departure dates, you will either pay more or be filling up space that has been picked over.
Where do you want to go this winter? What adventure do you want to experience? Let’s start putting together an itinerary that will be a standout, not just another vacation.
One last thought. I often hear, “I don’t want to take the kids out of school.” My answer is, why not? The entire world is a classroom depending on how you introduce your children to it. My nomadic father had us on the road a lot and I am thankful every day.
As a specialist in experiential travel and hidden gems, take the best advice I could ever share. From the front page of my website:
How Do You Make an Interesting Human Being? Just Add Travel!
The best present we can give ourselves and our children is the gift of travel. Experiencing different cultures, landscapes, foods, and interacting with endangered species in their natural habitat expands minds, teaches tolerance, empathy, and a sense of priority. You will create a knowledgeable, interesting future leader. Besides, young or old, what's life without ADVENTURE! ~ Wendy Edwardson
*I took the above photo of my beautiful daughter posing overlooking the magnificent swimming pool at Hearst Castle, San Simeon. I'm not really a tour person but this is a must see when traveling to Central California (not too far from Santa Barbara). Built by billionaire William Randolph Hearst in the early 20th century, I have never seen anything so opulent on my North American travels.
