Summer is here and while we’d love for time to slow down, many of us are stunned that it’s mid-July already! When July 1st hit I was asking myself, “How did that happen?”
I certainly don’t want to be saying the same thing on September 1st – I want to ensure we get as much out of our summer as we can, knowing that our winters (especially out here in western Canada) are long and cold! I’m not even satisfied with lower 20 temps, as evidenced by my tweet today that my weatherman friend @StanfieldGlobal replied to. See – we’re trying our hardest for hot temps, and long summer days and nights. Bring it, summer!
To celebrate summer, our family is taking a few family road trips over the next six weeks! Thanks to Travelocity.ca, we are going to be visiting Edmonton, Alberta next week – staying in a Good Buy hotel booked through Travelocity.ca! We’re going to visit friends, and of course check out West Edmonton Mall and the WEM World Waterpark (with the world’s largest indoor wave pool and 17 waterslides to keep us busy!) Then, later in August we’re going to visit Regina, SK to get in a ton of visiting time with friends, visit the RCMP Heritage Centre and of course relax by the pool at a Good Buy hotel booked through Travelocity.ca.
You can follow all our #SeizeTheSummer adventures with that hashtag on Twitter (and now on Facebook) – maybe the Travelocity Gnome will even make an appearance?
What are you doing to seize the summer? Do you use Travelocity.ca already to book your hotels, flights and adventures? I only started using it within the past 6 months or so (I was under a rock, covered by a gnome apparently) and so far I’ve been loving the ease of use, the attention to detail (everything is easy to access on the site and confirmation info is easy to email to yourself or friends) and of course, the prices!

we are seizing a staycation lol. new house no mon no fun.
Oh, sometimes I wish I had the time and the money to take off for a week with my partner. Maybe in a few years!
Oh I look forward to seeing your adventures this summer! We plan on camping LOTS, we just bought a new camper and have used it 3 weekends already. We are planning on making a couple trips to Regina, then down south to Manor Saskatchewan. I would love to maybe go out to BC this summer too, but we will have to see!
Looks like fun to me! We won’t be going too far from home with a newborn but it will still be a summer to remember. 🙂
We don’t have any set plans this summer. My husband will take a week off in August and we plan on touring some nearby cities.
Will be following your travels and asking some of our own this summer thanks to your tips!
Looking forward to hearing about your summer adventures. This summer, we’re doing a staycation, although I’m itching to get away though!
Looks like a great trip.. enjoy!!
Sounds like a ton of fun. I love road trips. Such a great way to spend the summer. I look forward to reading all about them!
Thanks for the discount code!! Will be checking things out and see if I can take advantage of it!
sounds like fun – really wish we could afford to do that too –
Fun!!! i love vacationing! I try to go at least once a year with the family.
Sounds like a fun vacation. Sure wish hubby was well enough to travel but unfortunately he isn’t. Maybe next year.
We always loved going on Road Trip vacations when we were younger and I always wanted to be able to have the same experiences with my kids. With the price of gas I think that may almost be impossible. Thank god for services like this that make it a little more affordable by getting you good deals on hotels!
I am sure your family will have a great time at WEM. Took my girls there a few times while living in Calgary, before we moved to Ontario. We miss it! Have fun!
We are going to Vancouver in August, so this code may get good use, thank you!
I used travelocity already for our trip to Myrtle beach this summer! 🙂
Thanks for the discount code. I hope that you have fun on all your summer adventures!
I would love a vacation and would love to be able to take my daughter and Mum far away from here for even just a week…they both deserve a huge vacation!
Welcome to Edmonton Tenille, would love to meet you but know you are busy, what a great way to see Canada.
Thanks for the discount code!! May be able to use it 🙂
When we hit the trails in 2 weeks I will make sure to check out travelocity.ca for some great rates on hotels.
Thanks little guy
We have family visiting this summer so we will be tourists in our hometown.
We’ll be staycationing this summer – saving for a vacation this fall, hopefully.
I was hoping to go to Colombia, but I guess it’s not going to happen
Love to travel across Canada, need some more money for that though, we might get a few days in St. John’s later in the year
I would definitely use Travelocity if I were to go anywhere.
Sounds like a fabulous vacation! Keep us updated!!!
I was recently laid off from my job so we’re mostly having a staycation this year, although we do go camping and we love the beach…always stuff to do around our own city. I bet you’ll have a blast on your vacation, look forward to seeing pics!!
Awesome fun for sure. We are building a screen house, staining our deck and have a family bbq this summer. Will definitely check this out Cause we will be doing some travelling in the Fall. Not sure where but we are going somewhere. 🙂
I never even thought of using Travelocity for small local getaways
Yay!! Thanks for the code! I will be using it for an upcoming trip to St. John’s and for a 2 night stay my price will go from $320.74 to $288.67! Awesome!
Thanks for the code. I enjoy using Travelocity!
We have used Travelocity many times and love it. We’ve always been satisified with our savings and ease of planning thanks to that site. This summer we are doing more local stuff.. Daddy & daughter however are planning a trip to Ohio to see Gramma & Grampa. For health reasons I’ll be staying home.
Sounds like a great time. I love Travelocity because I can shop for the lowest price. This summer, however, we are staying home with the exception of a visit to the in-laws and a day trip in the area 🙂
I am really looking forward to reading about and seeing photos from your adventures! 🙂
Thank you for providing the discount code
I love Travelocity and thanks for sharing the discount code.
Thanks for the discount code! It will come in handy for our vacation
We are having a staycation this year but going on short day trips once in awhile
It’s just not in the cards this summer. Sigh. Maybe next year when the baby’s a little older.
We don’t have exciting plans this summer, but when we went travelling last summer, we used travelocity for all our trips!
We will definitely check Travelocity when booking for our next vacation.
no trips this summer as a new babe is due, but in the future I will check out travelocity!
we’re heading up to Parksville in a week or two; its our favourite vacation spot on the island!
This summer has and will continue to involve a stay-cation. But I use sites such as Travelocity to get the best deal for when I do need to plan a trip.
That is a great offer thank you. Nice that school has began
But i think one last trip will be good for the kids, and my self.lol
