One Last Taste of Summer, New Movie Alert, Mexico Super Peso
We’re back from sailing the Adriatic, and apparently, there’s a first time for everything. Including me shouting, “Pass me the noodles!” to a ship’s Sports Team.
No, I wasn’t calling for pasta. I wanted pool noodles so I could float in the sapphire waters off the ship’s stern.
As someone who recently celebrated a milestone birthday (that had me questioning my fearless-traveller credentials), I surprised myself on this cruise by saying yes to a few new adventures.
But that’s what I love about travel. Experiences that stretch us a little are often the ones we remember most.
So this issue begins with that Royal Clipper sailing adventure, plus some tips for planning a sunny escape and global recipes to celebrate the final days of summer:
🥗Green Bean and Potato Salad– Inspired by the salads we enjoyed in Italy, this version also has radishes and a tangy mustard vinaigrette.
🍠 One-Pan Sweet Potato Black Bean Hash– A protein-packed, Tex-Mex recipe with sweet potatoes, black beans and vegetables that’s ideal for back-to-school lunches or weekend meal prep.
🍅 Tomatillo and Tomato Salsa– Make the most of late-summer tomatoes and tomatillos with this bright, tangy salsa. Serve it with tortilla chips, spoon it over tacos or keep a batch in the fridge for easy meals.
Let's dive in!

Travel Tips and Planning
A Different Kind of Cruise
Imagine swimming directly from the stern of a five-masted sailing ship, exploring tiny ports and waking up somewhere new each morning.
I share what it’s really like aboard Royal Clipper, from our sailing through Croatia and Montenegro
And if the Adriatic isn’t calling you, Star Clippers also sails to hidden Caribbean islands and the Panama Canal.
Forget mega ships and crowds. Try a sailing cruise instead!
Timely Travel
Guatemala Easier to Reach
While Fuego volcano has been making headlines, more news that caught our attention is Air Canada’s nonstop Toronto–Guatemala City route launching in December.
Timing is perfect to add an overnight in one of our favourite Guatemala City hotels before heading to Antigua, Lake Atitlán or Semuc Champey.
🇲🇽 Mexico Travel Tip: Don’t Let the “Super Peso” Cost You More Mexico’s peso has strengthened, which means your Canadian or U.S. dollars may not stretch as far as they once did. But there’s an easy way travellers can save money: decline the suggested exchange rate when using an ATM. Always go for the market rate. And choose local currency on POS machines and compare fees before withdrawing. Get more Mexico travel tips in our Huatulco Quick Start Guide.
🍿 What We’re Watching: Tony, The Anthony Bourdain Story Food and travel lovers will want to add Tony to their watch list. Now playing in theatres in Canada and the U.S., this new film explores the early years of Anthony Bourdain’s life where he dreams of becoming a writer but finds his path transformed by the restaurant kitchen. The film stars Dominic Sessa as young Bourdain and Antonio Banderas as the chef who helps shape his future.
🌊 Celebrate World Lake Day (August 27) – Lake Atitlán has been called one of the world’s most beautiful lakes (and the hype isn’t overblown). Beyond the volcano views, lakeside Maya towns like Santa Catarina Palopó and Panajachel offer a gateway to traditional weaving, local cuisine and village life.
