If you watched Gordon’s video last week about his thoughts on the grounding of the world’s Boeing 737 Max fleet, your brain may be in a bit of a whirl. It is so hard to think through the topic of travel safety with a cool head.
And let’s face it, statistics rarely seem to help us get things straight.
The Cunard Line remains one of the most venerable shipping companies in the world. Founded in 1840 by Canadian entrepreneur Sir Samuel Cunard, the Cunard shipped passengers and the British mail (RMS means “Royal Mail Ship”) across the Atlantic. One of Cunard’s rivals for the transatlantic route was the British company White Star Line, owner of the ill-fated RMS Titanic.
Greetings from Toronto!
I made a short video this week with some thoughts about the grounding of the Boeing 737 Max fleet.

If you look at the map of Italy, the whole country is shaped like a boot. Puglia (pronounced poo-li-ya), also popularly known by the name of Apulia, is found at the heel. Fitting then that the region is where most Italians troop to for their summer vacation.
Join Gordon and your yogi hosts Brianna & Keith for this incredible program for our next Q&A webinar, to learn a bit about Koh Phangan, the yoga program for the tour, and what else you can expect this fall.
Check out the replay from last week's member Q&A webinar about our upcoming tour of Italy: North to South:
Italy is our most requested destination in our community of travellers, and with good reason. Many have already been, some multiple times, but frankly speaking each region is deserving of its own separate long-stay as there is simply so much to appreciate.
