Happy doggies everywhere, people chatting, vendors at every corner and shows that entertain... Must be Woofstock.

Took the Whiskey to Woofstock today and he had a blast! Tons of vendors everywhere, freebies (you know how much I love freebies), dogs everywhere to meet. For a puppy this is huge! I loved the #purina experience, was really well put together. Loved the free goodies and toys, and everyone was so nice to Whiskey! #Petsmart was also giving out doggie ice cream with kibble sprinkles...too cute! Plus they had nice goodie bags. There was also a doggie fountain where all the dogs could splash around and get wet. Was great on a hot day! 

The highlight of the day though would of when we ran into one of his litter mates from the rescue, his sister!! Same rescue, litter, everything. Seeing them recognize each other was amazing! Immediately they knew and just jumped into playing. We all exchanged info and planning on doing some puppy time together two they keep in touch... And in a greater twist, turns out the puppy mom is actually one of my cousins best friends...small world! Looking forward to keeping in touch. 

When we got home from Woofstock, Whiskey had tons of goodies to go through he was actually overwhelmed. Now he's sleeping happily and just reflecting on a great day. 

Such a big world, and such little time!

There's so many places in this world to check out its hard to figure out where to start. So how do you start to narrow down a destination? Here's a couple things to think about:

- What type of trip am I looking for? Do you want to lounge in the sun, climb mountains or check out historic sites?

- What's your budget? Determine a range of how much you're looking to spend, as that can effect whether you do a road trip or a trip to Bali.

- When are you going? A destination can be less desirable in rainy reason or hurricane season.

- Is it in my comfort zone? Some places might look amazing on paper, but might not be the safest or tourist friendly. For more information, you can check out the government travel advisory sites:

These are just a couple of the things I think about. What do you think about when deciding where to vacation? Please comment below!

Happy Travelling!
Went to TBEX today for the first time and learned a lot! 

Started with a session about Blogging, branding and dollars. Gave me a lot of insight into more ways to maybe get a few bucks from my blog, other then advertising. My eyes are wide open now. Any freebies send them my way? I love samples. 

Then checked out one about Facebook Contests and how to basically set one up easily on Facebook. I learned that Canadian legal around contests and privacy is a lot stricter then it is in the US. Great for the average Canadian, but maybe I need to read up a little more on this whole legal thing... 

Lunch was included = happy Christine 

Lastly checked out a session about twitter chat sessions...I never realized the potential of those until today...hmmmm who wants to twitter chat about travel? Anyone? 

Great session, lots of info, good times....tonight is definitely going to be a spinning my wheels on new ideas kinda night.
