As we experienced first-hand it was hard not to miss the numerous grizzlies near Haines Junction and the beautiful rugged remoteness of The Golden Circle. We then take you to the Muskoka’s for a one-of-a-kind winter wonderland at the new Rosseau Resort. To top it off we share a Ultimate Romantic Couple’s Get away Weekend in Toronto! We are pleased to bring you a new International feature where we highlight some of the travel offerings available to Canadians wanting to venture out of the country to Southern Ireland.

I did Lnot have an answer to that question and so decided to make the Yukon a priority. The internet was a great information source for my background investigation of the Yukon. www.travelyukon. com provided me with much information about the region. The Yukon is historically know for it’s Gold Rush. The history of the area, originating about 110 years ago, expands through five significant geographic locations in both the United States and Canada, namely Seattle, Dyea and its Chilkoot Trail, Skagway, Bennett Lake and Dawson City. The Yukon is a huge, but thinly populated land the approximate size of California with a population of only 35,000, most of whom live within the bor- ders of its capitol, Whitehorse. Positioned above the 60th parallel in northwestern Canada and sharing its border with Alaska, it’s branded slogan “larger than life” fits this topographically diverse and rugged territory. Because of the Yukon’s high latitude, it experiences more than 20 hours of daylight in the summer, but fewer than five in the winter, replaced, instead, by the northern lights known as the aurora borealis. Some communities are even accessible only by floatplane or dogsled, which only adds to its uniqueness as an out-of-the-ordinary travel destination. I contacted Jim Kemshed, Media Liaison of Yukon Tour- ism and Culture and explained my intentions to visit the Yu- kon and he was able to support me with some great ideas and opportunities. I admit that as the plans were coming together I found myself becoming quite excited at the opportunity to experience this relatively undiscovered Canadian geographical ‘goldmine’ firsthand. My trip began with a flight into Vancouver from Toronto and ended with a relatively short flight over the rugged and picturesque Rocky Mountains and into the Yukon. I arrived in Whitehorse just after 12:00am. The midnight sky looked more like dusk rather than the blackened nighttime skies I was used to in Ontario. Fatigued from the trip, although surprisingly in- vigorated just the same, it seemed prudent to get some sleep so that I was rested enough to boldly Grizzlies are face the grand adventures that powerful creatures, awaited just a few hours away.

  • How to Get to Galway
    Getting to Galway Galway is situated on the West Coast of the Republic of Ireland and may be reached by air, ferry, train, bus or car. The following air links may be of assistance www.aerlingus.ie, www.ryanair.com, and www.aerarann.ie.For international delegates we recommended the following arrangements, in order of decreasing preference: 1. Fly direct into Galway Airport. International flights directly into Galway Airport are available on www.galwayairport.com, with flights mainly from other parts of Ireland, the UK and France. 2. Fly into Dublin Airport (www.dublinairport.com) and either fly from there to Galway Airport or take a coach from Dublin Airport to Galway city. Connecting flights from Dublin Airport to Galway Airport are available through Aer Arann (www.aerarann.ie). Galway Airport is approximately 5km from Galway city centre, and both the University and hotels (names to be advised at a later date) are close to the city centre. There are taxi services from Galway Airport to Galway city: there is no bus shuttle. Car hire is also available. Dublin Airport has many international connections but is about 220km from Galway (3 hr drive). Good car hire facilities are available from Dublin Airport. Rather than flying from Dublin Airport to Galway Airport you could take a coach (or train– see below). Independent operators run dependable hourly coach services from Dublin Airport to Galway city (www.citylink.ie or www.gobus.ie), departing outside the Arrivals terminal. These coach trips take about 3 hrs. 3. Fly into Shannon Airport (www.shannonairport.com) and take a coach to Galway city.
