Karen Wednesday, 24 August 2011Cool new websites for plugged in travellers I saw this great article the other day in the Toronto Star. In this internet and smart phone day and age, most travellers need answers at their fingertips. Here are a few websites to help you: www.seatmaestro.com Before choosing your flight you can check to see if its a good seat. This comprehensive lists 184 airlines and 1,143 seat plans which is updated daily! www.fairsandfun.com This is a good site if you are travelling in the States as it shows events, fairs and festivals in every U.S. State. www.ricksteves.com/graffiti/archives/minority_06.htm This forum is a place where travellers can post their experiences with racism in Europe, what it looks like and how to deal with it. www.jetsetter.com This is a user friendly site and its free! The site focuses on luxury travel deals but also offers to hold reservations for 72 hours, deep discount flash sales and a feature where you can register as standby for a hotel room. www.getaroom.com This is yet another hotel booking site that promises the best discounted rates. It's always good to shop around and compare. Enjoy! Karen Monday, 22 August 2011Private Schools Many of our clients ask us about how to find boarding schools or private schools for their children in their current neighbourhood. This great website can help do just that! Visit ourkids.net and you can search by postal code but also refine the search to girls only, boys only or coed!

Karen Monday, 15 August 2011The Children's Book Bank This is fantastic! I saw this on Global News. If you have new or gently used children's books for babies all the way up to age 12, please donate them to the Children's Book Bank! This organization allows low income families the opportunity to own their own books for FREE! The average cost these days for a children's book is a whopping $15 plus tax and with libraries now possibly being shut down, some families are not able to afford the luxury of reading. I urge you to look through your own personal libraries or collections to see if there are any children's books that you can part with and donate them to this fabulous cause. Thank you!
