Things Are Looking Up

Travelling in the shoulder season, which is just before or after the high season, has its advantages. Prices are lower, the crowds are smaller and most people involved in the tourist market are happy to see you. Winnipeg Free PressPRINT | 7/11/2009 1:00 AM | 0

  1. Nearly 100 trulli line the streets of Alberobello, conjuring up images of childhood fantasies. The unique structures have been part of the UNESCO World Heritage since 1996.

    Trulli GREAT

    PUGLIAREGION, ITALY — When the plans were being made for a 30-day trip through Italy this spring, one thing was agreed upon quickly — there would be no five-star or chain hotels.

  7. As Big Apples go it's

    111I'm continually surprised at how many Canadians have never visited New York, despite the fact that Canadians represent the second-largest number of international visitors to NYC (after the U.K.). Winnipeg Free PressPRINT | 3/11/2009 3:20 AM | 1
