Banff for Free

One of the things I love about Banff, Alberta is that many of the best things to do are free. Go For a Walk or Hike: There are so many trails to choose from all with fabulous scenery. I especially enjoy the trails along the river, on Tunnel Mountain (perfect for viewing the hoodoos) and around the Cave and Basin. Check out the Banff Springs Hotel: It costs nothing …

Mega Bus, Here I Come!

With gas prices rising, I saw an announcement on travelzoo.com about return bus fares between Montreal and Toronto for $20.00 on Mega Bus (www.megabus.com) . I found this hard to believe since I pay about $140.00 return between Toronto and Sudbury on Greyhound. The price was accurate and you can even get WIFI and electrical on this bus! The double decker Mega Bus offers cheap fares for popular routes …

Choose Your Shoes Carefully

I love shoes. Unfortunately, now I’m paying for years of high heels and cheap but fashionable footwear. Like many middle-agers, I need to be careful about what I wear. When travelling with airline luggage weight restrictions, you have to choose your shoes carefully. Footwear must be comfortable, have good support and be versatile. I’ve become a huge fan of Mephisto shoes which carry both women’s and men’s styles. Although …

Choose the Best Reward Cards for You

One of the best ways to save your travel buck is by using reward points. If you haven’t already done so, join a travel reward program, or two…or more. There are many travel reward cards out there: credit card and consumer incentive programs (ie AirMiles). You can often double dip by using an AirMiles card while paying with your reward credit card. You have to admit, there is something …
