Greetings!
I was very disheartened to see the CNE in Toronto open yesterday, which is the unofficial beginning of the end of summer for us Torontonians.
What summer? Until the last few days, I thought we just had a prolonged spring!
If you are like me, and still yearning for summer, the answer may be a trip south. There are plenty of deals to be had so let me know if there is anything I can do!
In the meantime, grab a beverage and enjoy this month's newsletter! |

Then do as the Bahamians do!
By nature, Bahamians love meeting new people and making friends. So what better way to get to know The Islands Of The Bahamas than through the eyes and stories of a Bahamian.
 The People-to-People program connects visitors with volunteer Bahamian hosts to encourage cultural exchange. Enjoy an authentic home-cooked meal. Share stories. Go sightseeing. Meet Bahamian children. Laugh.
The program does more than introduce the culture. It offers you a memorable, one-of-a-kind vacation experience.

By John Rambow, budgettravel.com
On your next trip, you could be checking into a wine cask, a  salvaged 727 airplane, or a room where the furniture defies the law of gravity.
Near a beach that's within Manuel Antonio National Park, the Hotel Costa Verde doesn't lack for great sights. But few are as amazing as its own 727 Fuselage Suite, a salvaged 1965 Boeing 727-100 that looks as if it's crashed into the Costa Rican jungle (it's actually mounted atop a 50-foot pillar and reached via a spiral staircase).
The jet's interior was once able to hold up to 125 passengers, but there are few reminders left of its days in the service of South African Airways and Colombia's Avianca Airlines. The suite's two bedrooms, dining area, and sitting room are now covered over entirely in teak to match the surroundings. Guests can play "spot the toucan" on the small wood deck that sits on top of the right wing.
