Whistler Retreat

One of my favourite vacation places is Whistler, British Columbia. Although it took center stage this year in the Winter Olympics, we discovered this wonderful place in 1989.

Since then, we have made this scenic trek through the Sea-to-Sky highway at least once a year.

Though it is rated as a top Ski Resort in the world, it is also an excellent summer get-away.
Through the years, we’ve stayed in numerous Hotels, condos, time-share units, and even camped out once.

The miles of paved trails make for an excellent walking vacation.

I’ve found walking through forest trails a great exercise for the body, renews my soul and invigorates the spirit.

This year I decided that I would take a few days off every quarter to rest and charge my batteries. This decision came after coming close to burn-out as a result of having not even taken one Sunday off the entire year.

Everyone needs to find their very own slice of heaven to retreat to when they are stressed and tired out.

"It is not much for its beauty that makes a claim upon men's hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air that emanates from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit." Robert Louis Stevenson
