They say that if everyone is moving forward together, the success will take care of itself.

Whoever penned that quote must have been watching Shawn and Tammy. From humble beginnings in 2007 with one small store in Thunder Bay to successfully navigating a pandemic that saw so many of our colleagues call it quits, has now become a household name in the travel industry.

Gary and I are here for it, 100%. When we started, we hoped that maybe this adventure would take us to places we'd only ever dreamed of being. Since then, we've travelled to over 20 countries on 6 continents (we're coming for you, Australia!) and we're not anywhere CLOSE to done.

The most fun thing to do every year is re-write the bucket list; not just our own, but yours too. We've been privileged and excited to help people create lifelong memories, and we've been privileged to have so many of you watch us create our own.

Last night, we were recognized for our dedication to our customers, to the travel agency and to our team. With reps from every major supplier in attendance, we were overwhelmed and blessed to be called onto the stage so often to accept our prizes as top performers for:

Air Canada Vacations (two air tickets!)
Railbookers (gift card)
Sunwing Vacations (gift card for our next trip)
AmaWaterways (free River cruise!)
Celebrity Cruises (free cruise onboard the newest ship!)
Expedia Cruises - Air, Land & Sea Vacations (list too long to type)

We got to share a meal and a KILLER bottle of Caymus Vineyards with the brass from Princess Cruises and got to put faces to so many names. We had suppliers put their contact info into our phones, inviting us to work together more closely. THESE are the relationships we have worked hard to develop. THESE are the people that help us to make your trip magic.

When we woke up this morning, I had to dig through my bag to remember all the prizes. One thing I did not have to work hard to remember though, were the dozens of conversations and hugs we got from other agents.

This is why we do what we do. This is why we love what we do. This is why we are forever.

THE POEM THAT ONCE WAS US (author unknown)

A little house with three bedrooms,
One bathroom and one car on the street;
A mower that you had to push
To make the grass look neat.

In the kitchen on the wall
We only had one phone,
And no need for recording things,
Someone was always home.

We only had a living room
Where we would congregate;
Unless it was at mealtime
In the kitchen where we ate.
We had no need for family rooms
Or extra rooms to dine.
When meeting as a family
Those two rooms worked out just fine.

We only had one TV set
And channels, maybe two,
But always there was one of them
With something worth the view.

For snacks we had potato chips
That tasted like a chip.
And if you wanted flavor
There was Lipton's onion dip.

Store-bought snacks were rare because
My mother liked to cook,
And nothing can compare to snacks
In Betty Crocker's book.

Weekends were for family trips
Or staying home to play.
We all did things together,
Even go to church to pray.
When we did our weekend trips
Depending on the weather,
No one stayed at home because
We liked to be together.

Sometimes we would separate
To do things on our own,
But we knew where the others were
Without our own cell phone.

Then there were the movies
With your favorite movie star,
And nothing can compare
To watching movies in your car.

Then there were the picnics
At the peak of summer season,
Pack a lunch and find some trees
And never need a reason.

Get a baseball game together
With all the friends you know,
Have real action playing ball
And no game video.

Remember when the doctor
Used to be the family friend,
And didn't need insurance
Or a lawyer to defend?

The way that he took care of you
Or what he had to do,
Because he took an oath and strived
To do the best for you.

Remember going to the store
And shopping casually,
And when you went to pay for it
You used your own money?
Nothing that you had to swipe
Or punch in some amount,
And remember when the cashier person
Had to really count?

The milkman used to drive a truck
And go from door to door,
And it was just a few cents more
Than going to the store.

There was a time when mailed letters
Came right to your door,
Without a lot of junk mail ads
Sent out by every store.
The mailman knew each house by name
And knew where it was sent;
There were not loads of mail addressed
To "present occupant”

There was a time when just one glance
Was all that it would take,
And you would know the kind of car,
The model and the make.
They didn't look like turtles
Trying to squeeze out every mile;
They were streamlined, white walls, fins and “skirts”,
And really had some style.

One time the music that you played
Whenever you would jive,
Was from a vinyl, big-holed record
Called a forty-five.
The record player had a post
To keep them all in line,
And then the records would drop down
And play one at a time.

Oh sure, we had our problems then,
Just like we do today
And always we were striving,
To find a better way.

Oh, the simple life we lived,
Still seems like so much fun.
How can you explain the game,
“Just kick the can and run?”
And all us boys put baseball cards
Between our bicycle spokes;
And for a nickel, red machines
Had little bottled Cokes?

This life seemed so much easier;
Slower in some ways.
I love the new technology,
But I sure do miss those days.

So time moves on and so do we,
And nothing stays the same;
But I sure love to reminisce
And walk down memory lane.
With all today's technology
We grant that it's a plus!

But it's fun to look way back and say,
Hey look, guys, THAT WAS US!
