Travel tips

Canadian snowbirds may get a rude awakening if they do not pay attention to how much time they spend outside the country. The federal government will begin to use its border exit-tracking system to monitor the amount of time snowbirds are spending down south.

Vacations should be relaxing. They are one of the best ways to decompress and get away from a hectic and busy life. However, many of us have a difficult time disconnecting from work and the other things in our lives that we really should leave behind when we leave for vacation.

Although some people travel and book vacations in an effort to disconnect, many travellers seek to stay connected when they’re away. The Internet has become an ingrained part of our lives. Whether it’s staying in contact with friends and family or travelling for business and staying connected to the office, there is an increasing need for people to stay connected when they travel.
