Mt Washington Ski Resort and Market Update
Mt Washington Ski Resort and Market Update
We are fast approaching my favourite time of the year, holiday season! I’m looking forward to taking my two kids (Zak 12yo and Jasmine 8yo) for a one week vacation to a small village called Troncones, Mexico. It is our second time to visit this destination. We are staying at a yoga resort, visiting the dog rescue shelter each day volunteering as dog walkers, horse riding on the beach at sunset most evenings, getting around during the daytime by bike, there is a day of snorkelling to look forward to, a quick stint of fishing, kayaking up a river to meet the ‘Iguana Man’, no cooking at all (yay!), plus the highlight of the temazcal sweat lodge ceremony where we give thanks. As a realtor I clock up approx 2,500ks per month driving around the Campbell River area making my way from one appointment to another, which makes the vacation a welcome change of pace and a welcome change of mode of transport.
