I’m already booked for a week in the snow with my snowboard in Scoul Switzerland for the second week of February. Unfortunatly, that’s the earliest I could get away this year. But if you are looking for a white vacation already now, check out the already white snowmobiling capital of Lanaudière. Check out the press release below, Lanaudière has already received 18 inches of snow this week alone (and the week’s not over). Boy, I would like nothing more than taking the next few days off and embarking on a white Snowmobile vacation. If you’re not buried in work yourself – you’ve got no excuse. So go have a great time and don’t forget to send in your pictures.

Respect for property and words of thanks to owners are gestures that are greatly appreciated, and it is equally important to respect signs and trail markers.

When traveling to a foreign country, one should never forget that certain conditions are bound to be different. The environment and culture may present a totally opposite perspective of life as we are accustomed to. Potable water for one is not available in many places thus the need to opt for commercially sealed bottled or carbonated beverages. Don’t forget the ice and the water used for brushing your teeth as they may come from the same source as the unsafe drinking water.

Well-cooked foods, preferably steaming are the safest bet. Food sold by street vendors, unpasteurized dairy products and raw and uncooked seafood are usually the riskiest. Fruits are better peeled on your own since they are eaten raw to avoid chances of contamination.

Kids are naturally restless and it could be a real challenge to keep your cool while attending to their various needs. A long flight can be very boring for them so it would be better to choose a flight that will enable them to sleep through most of the trip.

A new toy will surely hold the children’s attention longer as compared to their old ones. Make sure to bring out something they’ve never seen before so as to sustain their curiosity and excitement. Little surprises can be conveniently pulled out whenever one or more becomes especially restless. As always, food is a great distraction to children so keep those finger foods handy.
