☔️ Rain rain go away

Good morning. Folks, remember to pack those umbrellas- it’s going to be a rainy one. If you’ve haven’t had success finding one in your closet, check your golf bag- there’s at least a 50/50 chance you’ll be in luck.

If you’ve already done the heavy lifting of digging out your bag, my suggestion for you is to complete the cycle by putting them in your trunk. You really never know when the opportunity to slice a ball may appear.

Muskoka Highlands Golf Links offers an indoor simulator, which is the perfect way to shake off last seasons literally and figurative dust. You know the old adage, “when life gives you a rainy weekend at the cottage, go hit golf balls at a giant screen with your friends & family”.

Today’s read time: 5 minutes.

In this episode I was joined by Scott D'Cunha, Past Chair and Board of Directors Member at Tree Canada.

Crossroads Restaurant in Rosseau, is a family-owned gem run by husband-and-wife chef duo Julie and Richard Lalonde, whose combined backgrounds at Fairmont Hotels inspired their philosophy of "Pure, Simple, Delicious." The restaurant takes pride in sourcing local ingredients and delivering warm, personal hospitality in the heart of cottage country.

Imagine a vacation that’s not only transformative for you but helps open doors for the local women you meet along the way. That’s what Intrepid’s new Women’s Expeditions in Peru, Cambodia and Bhutan are all about.

Designed specifically for women travellers, these trips offer immersive local experiences that support women-run and owned businesses in each destination. With an expert local leader out front, you could trek the lesser-known Chinchero to Urquillos route in the Peruvian Andes alongside an all-female crew, dive into Cambodia’s street food scene on a women-run tuk tuk tour, or unwind with a traditional herbal hot stone bath at a women-owned farmhouse in Bhutan.

First launched in 2018, Intrepid’s Women’s Expedition range is designed to break down barriers, foster discussion and create meaningful connections for travellers and locals alike.
