Talking
with Sue Dean at the Muskoka Travel Service about travel is
infectious. Her enthusiasm about the various trips she is
planning or has taken is hard to resist. Whether it is a day
trip to the nearby Haliburton Forest for a ‘Walk in the
Clouds’ or the upcoming trip to Newfoundland this summer,
Sue loves to share her experiences and expertly work out all
of the details to make the trips memorable.
The Muskoka Travel
Service has been offering group travel trips for over 30
years. Using state-of-the-art Hammond Transportation
motorcoaches, all of which are climate controlled and
washroom equipped, with high windows allowing an excellent
view of all the scenery, Muskoka Travel Service provides
friendly drivers and tour escorts, and takes care of all the
arrangements to ensure an enjoyable holiday.
The list of trips planned
for this year is a long and interesting one, with everything
from day trips to Toronto for live theatre and dinner out
afterwards, to shopping excursions at favourite malls, to
attending live tapings of popular TV shows, such as The
Canadian Air Farce daytrip in April, and the Cityline Show
in February.
“People can come with
requests for trips they would like us to do and we’ll put
together a package and offer it to see what the interest is
like”, states Sue. She also plans many of the local
Senior’s Centres’ trips, including 2 and 3-day trips to
places such as Kingston, Manitoulan Island or the Niagara
region. “They are very specific about what they want to
see and do and which restaurant they’d like to try,”
says Sue, who also arranges specialized trips for local
clubs, such as the Horticultural Club’s trip to The Royal
Botanical gardens in Hamilton.
Sue is quick to emphasize
that these trips are not just for seniors. “We have some
soft adventure tours planned this summer, including
Whitewater Rafting on the Ottawa River, as well as family
trips for kids with parents and grandparents to the African
Lion safari and the Toronto Science Centre.”
“We are also planning
local trips in the area again this fall, including colour
tours and trips in conjunction with the new Wenonah II
steamship,” adds Sue.
A
sample of some planned day –trips with the Muskoka Travel

St. Paddy's Day Show in Hamilton March 11,
