We'd started out singing about the movie, but, let's 'move on' to Greece, the country. And Greece is still the word!
Is Greece on your bucket list?
The one good thing CoVid has taught us is that we can't take travel for granted. And when we start travelling again (whether you're ready now, next year, or the year after), is that the places on the top of your list should be the one you do first.
And if Greece is the word to you, I invite you to join us for a special Dream Away - a joint presentation with Lush Life Travel and my partners at Direct and Vision Travel, and Azamara Cruises - this coming week on Wednesday, Sep 30, 2021 at a special time - 11:00 AM in Eastern Time (US and Canada).

Ever want to stay at the Four Seasons Toronto? Not only is it a Virtuoso hotel partner of mine, but I'm also a Four Seasons Preferred Partner - which means a little extra VIP'ing and extra perks for

Here's an overview. Towering 55 stories over the vibrant Yorkville neighborhood, the sophisticated Four Seasons Hotel Toronto offers convenient access to designer shopping, museums,
restaurants, and all that Toronto has to offer. Inside this 259-room hotel, you’ll find soft hues, luxurious bathrooms, and walls of windows in some of the city’s most spacious accommodations. After cocktails in the chic dbar, head upstairs to famed chef Daniel Boulud’s French brasserie Café Boulud, a destination in itself. If you are looking for an oasis in the city, the 30,000-square-foot spa transports your body and soul to a new level of relaxation.
