Little CTO (Caribbean Tourism Organization), You're Really Lookin' Fine…
Last night, I attended the Caribbean Tourism Organization’s (or CTO’s) “Rum and Rhythm” event in Toronto, organized by the fabulous Lynda Sinclair. It was a night of rum, music, food, and fun!

Be a Bespoke Traveller over a Travel Mooch (another quiz!)
Yesterday’s quiz was a good one – had numbers to back it up, and seemed to really get to the heart of what was important to people in their vacation planning.

Disney's "Guest Assistance Card" (GAC)
I was recently reminded by a colleague that not everyone is aware of Disney’s “Guest Assistance Card” or GAC. So, I thought if other travel professionals don’t know about the GAC, then surely there are clients out there in the same boat – and worse still, clients who may not be visiting Disney because of their family’s special requirements, and

Rhod Gilbert, bringing the funny with "Lost Luggage"

Airlines have pretty sophisticated systems for tracking down the missing pieces, and usually the pieces can be located, and rerouted to you in short order. But anyone who has had the misfortune of having something go astray knows how frustrating it can be. (Obviously, I
