I have Christmas on my mind. Even as an adult, I count down the days until Santa Claus comes to visit. Only now, I get to relive it through my children, who are so excited they could pop. At 5 and 3, my kids are at the perfect age to believe in the magic of Christmas. But, do you know what’s as magical as the Christmas season but lasts much longer than the 12 official days of the holiday? You guessed it, a Whistler Vacation. (more…)

It’s been a long couple of weeks in my neck of the woods. Two and a half weeks ago, my oldest child (who is 4), came down with the chicken pox just in time for Thanksgiving. Our traditional way to celebrate is to travel to be with family, a crowd of about 20 including aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents. Not this year. No biggie, except that by the end of the week, in addition to the chicken pox, she had a raging ear infection and my youngest child, who just turned 3, had a horrendous cough. It was right about then that visions of Whistler British Columbia Canada started to pop into my head. All I needed was a plane ticket and a reservation to stay at any area Whistler Vacation rental. Mentally, I was already there breaking in my new skis and loving every minute of the cold, crisp air entering my lungs. (more…)

When it snows, ain’t it thrillin’
Though your nose gets a chillin’
We’ll frolic and play the Eskimo way

Technology is amazing. When I was a kid, the best way to experience someone else’s Whistler vacation was to look through a photo album. If I was lucky, I could watch a slide show while listening to the travelers retell the tales of cruising down the slopes at Whistler Blackcomb. And if I was really luck, those travelers would have a video tape, complete with their own narration of what was happening. But not today. Today’s technology has advanced to digital recorders and easy access to editing software that allows the average person to create short movies set to a catchy soundtrack. Those clips can be uploaded to all sorts of online sites and shared with the world. With the amount of Whistler vacation footage found on the internet, it’s clear that travelers to Whistler BC Canada have fabulous times. If you haven’t already reserved your Whistler accommodations for this winter season, this Whistler video will at least get you thinking about taking time off for your own Whistler vacation. (more…)
