Have a Healthy Trip!

You’ve worked for your vacation — don’t let travel-related illness mar your trip. Talk to your PROfile Pharmacist and make health considerations part of your travel planning.

For instance, consider:

• Vaccines – Hepatitis A and B are the most common vaccine-preventable diseases in travelers. Swimming and drinking water can put you at risk in many countries- even at a 5-star resort!

• Health items to pack - SPF 30 Sunscreen, but what else should you take with you? Availability of first aid and over-the-counter may vary at your destination.

• Malaria - Prevention strategies are important to consider, and anti-malarial medication should be started before you leave.

• Regular Medications - How should you pack your medicines and what documentation may you need to clear security with ease?

Enjoy every minute of your journey. Be prepared and plan ahead for good health with the help of your PROfile Pharmacist.

Book your vacation package with Fraser & Hoyt Travel and receive a coupon for a FREE Leather Travel Wallet ($40 value) from Sobeys Pharmacy or Lawtons Drugs.

Ticket wallets will be available for pick up starting the week of February 22nd, 2010.

The 31 Places to Travel in 2010

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

Time Magazine recently posted an article describing the 31 places to Travel in 2010.

Here are the top ten places on their list. They also assembled a reader-voted map of  destinations you should visit in 2010.

Where do you want to go in 2010? We somehow doubt that any of our Travel Agents would go to Antarctica this winter!

Time’s Top Ten of 31

1. Sri Lanka

The island, with a population of just 20 million, feels like one big tropical zoo: elephants roam freely, water buffaloes idle in paddy fields and monkeys swing from trees. And then there’s the pristine coastline. The miles of sugary white sand flanked by bamboo groves that were off-limits to most visitors until recently are a happy, if unintended byproduct of the war.

2. Patagonia Wine Country

Ten years ago, a group of adventurous winemakers set their sights on an Argentine valley called San Patricio del Chañar, an unusually fertile and eerily beautiful corner of Patagonia. They plowed, planted and waited. The outcome? A blossoming wine country with delicious pinot noirs and malbecs and smartly designed wineries.

3. Seoul

Forget Tokyo. Design aficionados are now heading to Seoul.

They have been drawn by the Korean capital’s glammed-up cafes and restaurants, immaculate art galleries and monumental fashion palaces like the sprawling outpost of Milan’s 10 Corso Como and the widely noted Ann Demeulemeester store — an avant-garde Chia Pet covered in vegetation.

4. Mysore

You’ve completed 200 hours of teacher training, mastered flying crow pose and even spent a week at yoga surf camp. What’s next? Yogis seeking transcontinental bliss head these days to Mysore, the City of Palaces, in southern India.

The yogi pilgrimage was sparked by Ashtanga yoga, a rigorous sweat-producing, breath-synchronized regimen of poses popularized by the beloved Krishna Pattabhi Jois, who died at 94 in 2009. Mr. Jois’s grandson is now director of the Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute (www.kpjayi.org). First month’s tuition is 27,530 rupees, or $600 at 46 rupees to the dollar. Classes generally require a one-month commitment.

5. Copenhagen

Copenhageners don’t simply preach the “progressive city” ethos, they live it. Long, flat urban thoroughfares are hemmed with bicycle paths where locals glide around the city, tourists saddle up on the free bikes that dot the city center, and fashion bloggers take notes on the latest cycle chic (see copenhagencyclechic.com). Over in the harbor district, a public bath at Osterbro, due to open in 2010, will complement the two swimming areas set off on Copenhagen’s inner harbor, a formerly polluted waterway recently transformed into the city’s summertime hub.

6. Koh Kood

Is this the next Koh Samui? The Trat islands are emerging as Thailand’s new luxury outpost. Inaccessible for many years because of tensions with neighboring Cambodia and a poor transportation infrastructure, islands like Koh Kood are starting to draw venturesome paradise seekers, thanks in part to new direct flights to the port city of Trat. The recent opening of Soneva Kiri, a 42-villa suite retreat by the Six Senses brand (www.sixsenses.com/Soneva-Kiri), definitely ratchets up the high-end quotient on this Robinson Crusoe-like island. Coming soon: X2 Koh Kood (www.x2resorts.com), a designer eco-resort with 14 pool villas. — Gisela Williams

7. Damascus

The next Marrakesh? Perhaps mindful of the way that renovations of historic riads have drawn upscale travelers to Marrakesh, Damascus hoteliers are trying to mine tourism gold in the rundown buildings of the Syrian capital’s Old City. These 18th-century homes — many with inviting courtyards and rooftop terraces — are now boutique hotels, like the nine-room Old Vine (www.oldvinehotel.com) and the Hanania (www.hananiahotel.com), which doubles as a hotel and a small museum. — Don Duncan

8. Cesme

The next Bodrum? While revelers continue to descend upon that seaside retreat, another corner of Turkey’s Aegean coastline has begun to emerge as a stylish alternative: the once-sleepy villages of the Cesme Peninsula. The main draw is Alacati, a sheltered beach town that last summer was the site of the Professional Windsurfers Association Slalom World Cup. Scheduled to open in the spring, the seven-room Hotel Nars Alacati (www.nars.com.tr), set in a converted 19th-century mansion, promises to become the popular weekend gathering spot for Istanbul’s smart set, along with the adjoining garden restaurant, Mesa Luna. — Andrew Ferren

9. Antarctica

This may be the last year that Antarctica is open to mass tourism — not because the ice is melting too fast (though it is), but because of restrictions that would severely curtail travel around the fragile continent.

Until recently, most vessels passing through Antarctica were limited to scientific expeditions, but an exploding number of tourists now flock to what is arguably the world’s last great wilderness. The tourism boom, scientists argue, poses a major environmental threat. Indeed, several passenger ships have run aground in recent years.

10. Leipzig

In 2010, Leipzig, a small industrial city in the former East Germany with an illustrious past, will be marking the 325th anniversary of the birth of its former resident Johann Sebastian Bach and the 200th birthday of Robert Schumann with concerts, festivals and a reopened Bach Museum (www.bach-leipzig.de).

But the city’s cultural high note is likely to be the Neo Rauch retrospective opening in April at the Leipzig Museum of Fine Arts (www.mdbk.de), a show devoted to the father of the New Leipzig School of artists, a scene that for the past decade has been the toast of the contemporary art world. The art cognoscenti will also make their way to the Spinnerei (www.spinnerei.de), a former cotton mill that is home to 11 galleries, a cafe and a quirky new pension called the Meisterzimmer (www.meisterzimmer.de), with rooms starting at 50 euros, or $70 at $1.40 to the euro.

Beware of Cheap-Fare Regulation Dodgers

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

It is important that you choose a travel agency that you trust. Make sure all online purchases are from a trusted and verified source. If you are unsure, make sure you contact a travel agent in your area to confirm that a bargain isn’t leaving you short.

The following is from Press Release from ACTA, the Association of Canadian Travel Agencies.

“Beware of too-cheap vacation deals from travel companies that dodge regulations.  David McCaig, President and COO of the Association of Canadian Travel Agencies (ACTA) warns as consumers look for bargain deals in a tight economy.

McCaig points to several infamous closures of tour suppliers, saying “Their customers can tell you about the supposedly cheap vacations that turned into expensive nightmares.”
In his alert, McCaig says some travel companies may have ‘colorful business histories’ but resurface, sometimes repeatedly, under different names after leaving travelers in the lurch.
The President of ACTA, representing 18,000 retail travel professionals across Canada, asks consumers to ‘do the math’. “Learn to compare prices on travel destinations and services you want; it’s unlikely you’ll be able to stay at a five-star hotel for $19 a night,” he says.

“Travel agencies provide trained travel counsellors who can verify a bargain offer from a supplier and provide great guidance for travellers,” says McCaig.”

We couldn’t agree more! Fraser & Hoyt Travel has been operating under rigorous business ethics for the last 50 years. We work hard to ensure we provide not only the great prices, but also the best travel experience possible.

5 Top Tips to Frustration-free Travel

5 Top Tips to Frustration-free Travel

Author: Rachel Barlow

It’s common for many travellers to suffer post-travel regret. Whether it’s because of lost or stolen belongings, being taken for a ride, getting lost, or just suffering a poor travel experience. No one wants their memories of a long anticipated trip to be peppered with bad experiences, and fortunately there are some incredibly simple things you can do to lessen the chances of it happening.

1. Prepare before you go.
Obviously the more prepared you are for your trip; the less likely you are to suffer frustration when you arrive. A good start here is ensuring you have most of your plans pre-booked, particularly your accommodation. Usually when you arrive you’ll be exhausted, and often it will be in the evening, so as a minimum it’s a good idea to have your first night or two in each city booked. And check the city tourist websites prior to booking to see if there are local events being held at the time of your travel, as this can affect availability & price. Otherwise you can still bargain-hunt when pre-booking, by using a price-comparison site, or last minute engines.
Here are a few other items you shouldn’t leave home without.
- At least one power adapter for the country you’re visiting.
-Local guidebooks are invaluable for determining places to see, times & days of sight openings, places to eat, and the basic & words phrases you’ll need in that language to get by. If it’s a heavy guidebook, you may find removing the language pages & jotting other day trip details down is a good option. You can then carry them separately in your bag, which is a much lighter option to the whole book.
-Printed directions for the hotels you’re staying at. Google maps are perfect for this whether on foot or by vehicle.
-At least 2 ATM cards. Preferably 2 per person if you’re travelling with a mate. This way if one is rejected in certain countries, or worse gobbled up by a machine, you have a back-up. It’s usually worthwhile to take a credit card, but there are some cautions here. See more on this below.

2. Pack light – Pack right
One of the major frustrations when travelling can be either having too much luggage or the wrong kind. The all-time most important tip any regular traveller will give you is to pack light. Inevitably at some point even with planned travel, you will need to pull or carry your luggage. If there are two of you, this makes it somewhat easier. But remember there’s a good chance you’ll pick up a few souvenirs or other items while you’re there, so starting with a lot of luggage, will only make it more difficult later. Layer clothing is the best kind to take, with a good mix of easy wear t-shirts & singlets. Check expected temperatures before you go, but inevitably you’ll almost always need at least one warmer jacket. Choose one that is warm, but not too bulky. If you are travelling with a mate or spouse, combining your luggage into one medium or large case can be a great decision. If you find you’re picking up items on your travels, and running out of room, it’s usually extremely easy to pick up a cheap knock-off bag on wheels that will see you out til you get home. Starting out with just one main piece of luggage, makes sharing the load with a companion easier. This is also a much safer option, see more on this below.

3. Get the right travel gear
If you are travelling through a westernised country and are likely to be in built up areas, luggage on wheels is almost always the best option. It’s easier to pull luggage than carry it, and it’s more secure against serious thieves.
However for rural, remote areas or under-developed countries, a backpack is definitely best. It’s not only more practical if you’re getting around on foot more or transporting via boat or bus, it’s also a lower security risk in many of these places. You don’t want to draw attention to expensive-looking baggage, which could imply you have expensive contents. If you take a back-pack, make sure it’s sturdy, and can be kept secure. Don’t keep items of value in any external pockets.
The other major key to having fuss-free daily adventures is to make sure you have the right carry-bag. A long-strapped sling bag is best. Small backpacks of any description are a shining beacon to thieves, where your belongings are easily reached conveniently behind your back. You should have a bag you can cross over your shoulder. Ensuring it has a comfortable, strong strap. This bag will do a lot of walking with you, and hold most of your valuable items, so getting it right is a high priority. A zipped bag is mandatory, one which allows no gaps for sneaky hands. If it has a flap, ensure the zip under it is always fully closed, and the zip opening facing to your front. In this way, your valuables are carried at the front of your body, and near impossible to access by another person.
If you are travelling as a male & female, a satchel which is more uni-sex is ideal, because you can share carrying the load.

4. Be travel wise
By following the above suggestions on luggage, you should hopefully have a limited amount of it which is always a far more secure way to travel. If you stop at anytime to make arrangements, always stay with your luggage, and if possible always keep a hand on it. Un-attended luggage is the No.1 kind to go missing in high traffic areas, such as train & bus stations. For this reason when travelling on trains over longer periods, you should keep your luggage close to you, or at least where you can see it. Ideally, get a compartment where you are guaranteed to have it with you.
Where possible you should carry your passports with you at all times. Even many hotel safe’s, unless it’s a reputable hotel, are not very secure. So aim to take things of value with you throughout the day. You should keep your valuables at the bottom of your carry bag, and in an internal zip compartment if you have one.
In many parts of the world credit card fraud is still rampant. Whilst you’ll usually want to take a credit card with you, try to use it sparingly to lessen the chances of the number falling into the wrong hands. It’s a good idea to try and pay for transportation, dining etc with cash withdrawn from an ATM. Do your best not to let your credit card leave your sight.
In certain countries, over-charging tourists is common, so be cautious. For hotels, take all paperwork detailing the room type with you, to help ensure you get what you’ve paid for. Scams can also occur in cafe’s, particularly with getting wine inferior to that which you’ve paid for. If in doubt query it before you consume it. If you are blatantly overcharged, stand your ground. And try to give close to exact money, so there’s no opportunity for them to conveniently keep the change.
In most under-developed countries, you can expect scams around every corner. From travel agencies, to people approaching you on the street. When you arrive, read the hotel information or speak to them about what dangers there may be in that area. Guidebooks will usually indicate which tour agencies don’t offer products as displayed, so peruse these before spending your money.

5. Be travel safe
In many cities all over the world, you can find yourself a target for those who prey on un-wary travellers. Be sensible, do your best not to look like a tourist. Pulling out maps in the middle of the street is a clear sign you’re a tourist, and an easy target. So try where possible to find a convenient spot to do this discretely, or make your plans over lunch. Waist bags worn outside your clothing are to thieves like a red-flag to a bull. There are far better ways of keeping your money close. If you’re not carrying a bag, choose a belt that goes under your clothes.
When walking from place to place, try to stick close to others, and avoid dark streets at night & quite alleys in the day. There’s usually another way you can go that’s populated, or catch transport.
Being street smart is fairly common sense. Stay aware, and cautious..and you’ll likely ward off any potential incidents. This doesn’t mean you have to be paranoid, but just remember you’re away from home, and as a tourist you’re at risk.

If you keep these few basic rules you should find you enjoy fairly fuss-free travel. Inevitably there will always be things that go wrong, and can’t be avoided. But don’t let them spoil your dream trip. Prepare well, be travel wise, and you’re very likely to have an adventure full of wonderful memories.

SANDALS Resorts, JAMAICA

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

Travel to SANDALS Resorts, JAMAICA

sandals3We recently had the pleasant opportunity to visit several Sandals resorts in Jamaica.  No other resorts in the world include the combination of quality, choices and romantic settings that Sandals provides.  They bill themselves as a Luxury Included Vacation and from our experience that is certainly true.

As far as the Sandals properties we visited are concerned, the Sandals Royal Caribbean in Montego is a favourite.  It is a fairly small with 197 rooms in 13 categories and has a British Colonial charm in a Caribbean setting that was very appealing. The main lobby, although not a large, soaring space, is very welcoming and tastefully decorated. It includes a refurbished piano bar and a concierge lounge.

The beach wasn’t very big but this is offset by the beach surrounding their private island which is located just offshore. A small boat ferries guests from the mainland to the island. The trip takes about 1 minute. The island contains its own pool, bar, restaurant and a clothing optional beach section on the back side of the island.

All of the rooms feature the mahogany furniture that Sandals is known for and are very tasteful and roomy. Regular rooms (not butler or concierge class) do not stock alcoholic beverages in room fridge. Only soft drinks, water and juices. The Royal Caribbean has recently completed swim-up river suites (they are gorgeous by the way) and has recently refurbished the lobby and concierge lounge and piano bar.

There are several dining options available on resort. Five restaurants, including the spectacular Thai restaurant on the private island offering something for everyone. The property also has 7 pools, two of which are swim up. Guests at Sandals Royal Csandals2aribbean are entitled t o full exchange privileges with Sandals Montego Bay and Sandals Inn, both close by,  that offer an additional 7 restaurants.  Transfers are provided between resorts.

Overall Impressions: we really liked this resort. It is a quaint, intimate resort that has a very friendly, cozy feel. The rooms were quite large and comfortable with that signature carved mahogany furniture once expects at Sandals resorts. There are lots of little nooks and crannies if you want to get away from it all and open, public places if you want to be in the thick of things. The private island is quite lovely – an oasis of calm. The beach was quite small but there is the beach around the island and several pools on property.

Moving on to the next stop, we had the good fortune to visit the newest Sandals resort, Sandals Whitehouse European Village & Spa.  It’s a long transfer from the airport but the first impressions of the Whitehouse was WOW!! This is a gorgeous property. Upon arrival you are greeted with a face cloth to freshen up and a welcome cocktail. You are then escorted into the main lobby where the check in process is done. Here you are asked to fill in a registration paper and from there you are given your room information and keys. For (upscale) concierge rooms you are taken into a Suite Center for check in and a welcome cocktail. There is also a concierge Center that is open daily to assist with booking tours, car rentals or dinner reservations for those booked in a concierge room category.

We had the pleasure of having a butler suite.  I highly recommend you experience this level of service. With this option you are looked after from the moment you arrive. We were pleasantly greeted by our butler in the lobby and was chauffeured to our room. The butler is basically there to take care of all of your needs, whether you need drinks, towels, a plate of nachos while you are on the beach, a dinner reservation, a drive, your clothes pressed or washed, you name it they are there to do it for you. The guests are provided with a cell phone with th eir butler programmed into it in case they need anything at anytime. They are on duty from 7:00am until 10:00pm. These suites offer 24 hour rooms service as well

The Sanduntitledals Whitehouse is broken up into three “villages”. There is the Italian, Dutch and French Villages, each village has their own pool and all rooms at this property are beachfront. The Italian Village is the closest to the main lobby area and the main courtyard where the restaurants and theatre are. The Dutch Village is the quietest village onsite and the French Village is where the action is with daily activities at this pool. Also all entry level rooms are located in the French Village.

For dining there are 7 options: Italian, Asian, Caribbean, International, Tex Mex, a European Patisserie with delicious coffees and pastries and two beach club dining options that are resort casual. There are also 6 bars onsite including pool bars, piano bar, theatre bar and a beach bar. Also onsite there is a Business Center with internet access, telephone service. There is also a large conference rooms for private functions or meetings.

Fraser & Hoyt Travel offers many sun holiday vacation packages.

Mediterranean Cruise

Friday, July 31st, 2009

Mediterranean Cruise
This is one of those holidays you always dream about. A relaxing cruise in the Mediterranean Sea – Italy, the Greek Isles, thousands of years of history, different cultures not to mention the great experience on board our floating resort. My wife and I went in mid-May visiting Dubrovnik (Croatia), Kusadasi (Turkey), Santorini & Corfu (Greece) with Royal Caribbean Cruises. The cruise began and ended in Venice – now that’s an interesting place. Naturally friends ask, what was the highlight of the cruise part of our trip? Surprisingly to us, it was Dubrovnik – a fascinating walled city set among the hills of Croatia on the shores of the Adriatic Sea. From where the ship docked, we took a boat ride along the coastline to the gates of the city then toured a part of it on a walking tour. Very clean, friendly people and while you are there be sure to try the local ice cream. A treat not to be missed!

On a cruise such as this, you usually have one or two days ‘at sea’, meaning on those days you do not stop at a port of call. It gives one the chance to unwind and begin to relax. After all, that’s what a vacation is for. Whether you are new to cruising or not, exploring the ship is always a delightful way to spend a few hours. We checked out the seven-story lobby, the pool deck and Solarium with its Day Spa and fitness centre, the rock climbing wall and miniature golf course, the Internet café where you can keep in touch with home, the casino and theatre (those seats are certainly comfy), the pubs and lounges not to mention the beautiful dining room. I must say that relaxing at dinner in the evenings was a delight – the food was great and with a direct view out the floor to ceiling windows, we experienced spectacular sunsets each evening. The service on board ship was top notch. All crew members we encountered were friendly and helpful, without exception.

After Dubrovnik, we spent a day at sea then made port at Kusadasi in Turkey. Having never been in Turkey before it’s was interested to see how ‘western’ it has become over the past 50 years. Locals were very friendly and multilingual, with English being widely spoken. The big draw to this port are the ruins of the city of Ephesus that are close by. It is an ancient Roman and Greek city that at its’ peak had a population of 400,000 and has a history that stretches back 10,000 years. We took delight in walking the worn marble paved streets and learning of Ephesus’s history. Not to be missed is the still standing Library of Celsus and 25,000 seat Roman theatre. They were awe inspiring sights. If you have the chance, be sure to visit Ephesus.

Next stop was in Santorini, Greece. If your impression of Greece is white sun washed buildings perched on tall cliffs, blue domed churches and friendly people, then this is the classic Greece you are thinking of. The cruise ship moors off shore as there is no dock. A short boat ride takes you to the island when you have a choice of taking a bus into town via a winding road up the cliff, a cable car ride practically straight up to the top or a donkey ride up the trail. We suggest the bus or cable car options. We had the pleasure of walking through the village of Oia overlooking the sea. Oia is built in a traditional Greek way, with blue domed churches, sun-bathed verandas, and stepped streets. Many of the buildings are built into niches in the rock. There are also plenty of tourist shops but it’s less commercial than some villages. Make sure your camera batteries are fully charged. There is a new photo opportunity at every turn in this village and you don’t want to miss any of them.

Cruising overnight we reached our final port of call, Corfu, the most northerly Greek island. While also set in the shining blue waters of the Mediterranean, this island is strikingly different than Santorini. Santorini is a dry island with water shortages constantly an issue. On the other hand Corfu was green and lush, so much so that it’s referred to as the Emerald Island. Here we took a tour option to explore the island. We look a bus ride into the hills and along the coast. We stopped at the village of Paleokastrisa where we took a small boat ride along the coast, operated by local fishermen. The colour of the water was turquoise and unbelievably clear. It was a lovely excursion. We then moved on to the old village of Makrades where we did some wine tasting and experienced some traditional Greek snacks. Make sure you leave some time to explore the town of Corfu, particularly Old Town.

If you have the chance to take this trip, we recommend it.
