Not a chance! Team 'Fraidy Cat! This is one of the incredible rides at Canada's Wonderland.

What was I doing at an Amusement Park?

Legendary motion-sickness, a well-deserved reputation as a chicken – what on earth was I doing at a theme park? And how is it possible that I enjoyed it?
This summer, I was part of a TBEX press trip with Central Counties Tourism that included a stop at Canada’s Wonderland, one of the premier amusement parks in North America. They boast incredible roller coasters and amazing rides – none of which I had the least intention of going on. I’ve neither the stomach nor the nerves for such wild times – but I still had a ton of fun! Read on to find out what I loved.

Stuck in Maui? Try to get outside!
For better or for worse, being stuck in an airport is an inevitable part of most vacations. Whether you have arrived several hours early for an important international flight, have a lot of time to kill between connections, or – worst of all – are stuck because of a delay, chances are you’ll lose anywhere from a few hours to a few days of your vacation staring at an arrival board, eating stale pretzels, and tapping your toes. 

Here are some suggestions from top travel bloggers on how to make the most of that wasted time and get the best value for your vacation time.

Ryan gets ready to share his first time business travel tips: Be prepared when you travel for Important Business Stuff!
I travel from time to time for business, whether to do work in the field or attend meetings and conferences. No two business trips are ever the same, but there are definitely similarities for all of them, which can make planning and traveling a bit easier. If you're looking for first time business travel tips, this is the place.

Traveling for business is more work than it is vacation (whether we want it to be or not!) and as such, you need to be prepared when you hit the road so that you make sure you arrive as prepared as possible to hit the ground running when you arrive.

Verto North Face 26 pack review black and red
The North Face Verto 26 all packed. This travel day bag holds a lot!
As I slowly move away from the backpackers’ lifestyle and explore more grown up travel, I find myself yearning for some of my old gear. It might have been beaten up, scuffed and stained, but it was comfortable and it worked! One item that’s been hard to give up is my daypack. I’ve mostly moved to bags and satchels, but there are still times when a small backpack is best, such as hiking and transporting snorkel gear to the beach. My old daypack (originally a zip-off from a main pack), was about 15L in size and, while comfortable, was just a tad too small and the design made it difficult to squish up. Enter the North Face Verto 26 from the Summit Series.

At the best Niagara wineries, the wine is as delicious as it is pretty!
As the TurnipSeed Travel community knows, I’m passionate about getting great value when I travel – no matter where I go or how I go about it. More often than not, this has meant exploring the best in local food, wine, and products and discovering their superior value over their imported counterparts. You can bet I took the same approach to checking out the best Niagara wineries. 

​Having recently discovered some amazing cold world wines in my own backyard in Ottawa, I was thrilled to be a part of the TBEX blogger tour to the Niagara Escarpment to discover more fine Ontario wines. Here are some destinations I just loved and the inspiring producers who create these incredible Niagara wines.
