Calling 911 On The Sand Floor

I get very excited about the idea of an emergency meeting, Pumpkins. All adrenalin and urgency. I love urgency. The only so-called emergency meeting I’m ever asked to is when there are leftover cocktail party bottles: “Hey Ivanna! ‘Emergency’…

Show Me The Pesos!

Hottie Mexican Prez Enrique Peña Nieto (just pronouncing Peña makes my lips do the Mexican Hat Dance) has earmarked almost $300 million for tourism promotion around the world. The announcement came on February 25th. I imagine, dahrlings, that…

Members Have Their Privileges

I’ve never met a member I didn’t like, Pumpkins. Even though Senate members are portrayed as limp picks, the endless Canada wide search for their homes does wonders for travel. Those swollen air bills are probably just enough to cover…

Am I On Drugs?

Somebody should be. Now when your clients fill out their Viagra prescription, dahrlings, they can pick up some travel insurance in the shampoo aisle. Well, that’s not fair — it’s actually sold in the travel section, alongside the Dukoral. In…

I Do Love A Gal With A Plan

It’s almost spring, Pumpkins. A time of renewal. Resurrection. Bunnies. And, with it, the mystery of the Thomas Cook rebirth need not confound us much longer. Come March 13th, 2 days before the fated ides of March, all will be revealed.…

Kick 'em When They're Down

Well, dear Pumpkins, I don’t think I’ve seen such low blowing swings since my rather well dispossessed husband tried to philander with our diminutive cleaning lady. And I thought that was the year of the snake. First it…

"I Do" Promise To Kick Some Ass

Competition in the destination wedding market is hotter than a fire station’s pole-cam. My goodness, dahrlings, it’s comforting to witness those boys wrap their hard python thighs around that little pole at a moment’s notice. Calling 911, fire burning…

A Penny For Your Thoughts

The modern world is too modern for me, Pumpkins. First it’s the ink cartridge. Dreadful contraption. Then it’s saline. What’s wrong with a nice cup of silicone? It’s firm yet jiggly. Withstands up to 100 pounds of pressure per square…

Roses Are Red, Airlines Are Blue

Have you ever noticed, dahrlings, computer things are fruit (blackberries and apples) and airlines are colour.  AC is rouge the colour of blush They’re hiring crew in a really big rush Transat is blue – but their moving…

Introducing The Datecation

Pumpkins, you no longer have to watch your wealthy single male clients suffer the agony of vacationing alone. Oh, the loneliness. The Lady Travels website will hook them up with attractive females who want to travel for free. Apparently we…
