Many years ago, I was working in the offices of a firm of travel agents in Wakefield and it was an interesting time. My first choice was travel agents in Huddersfield, followed by travel agents in Halifax, but there were no available positions at the time. My time in that office was one of learning how to deal with people as much as learning about travel and holidays.A few years ago there was a craze for people to have car stickers displayed on...more
When I was younger, I would often accompany my father as he went about his errands and it was considered to be a matter of honour among my siblings as to who was chosen to accompany him the most times. Some of these outings were a lot of fun but some were very boring to a child. One such event I recall was when we visited some travel agents in Bradford and then a few travel agents in Leeds on the same day.Travel agents, Bradford and travel agents...more

One way to get to know a person is to travel with him or her. People's true personality tends to emerge when they are dealing with stress. They also reveal their maturity, sense of responsibility, and other positive qualities or lack thereof when faced with situations with which they are not familiar. However, that does not necessarily mean that you should seek out stressful travel situations in order to discover your travel companion true personality. It therefore pays to anticipate difficulties when traveling with others and to be ready for them.If you are traveling to Canada, the first priority is to be sure to carry your travel documents. If you are from the United States, you need to have a valid passport, permanent residence card or nexus card (US citizens and permanent residents are allowed to enter Canada without a visa). If you come from a country that is not included on Canada's visa-exempt list, then you should have your travel documents and visas ready. Border officers and airport customs will check these documents before they grant you entry into the country or even allow you to board an airplane flying to Canada.Those who are traveling on temporary resident visas...more
