President of Cheap Tickets and Travel Takes Family of Seven on Two-Month Tahitian Adventure - and Blogs to Tell About It

    VANCOUVER, Feb. 20 /CNW/ - Thrilling stories about a Peruvian taxi
adventure. Valuable lessons about why never to lose your passports while
abroad (and what happens if you do). And basic and helpful travel tips on
everything from traveling through Toronto's Pearson Airport to an exotic
journey through Japan.
    Normand Schafer, president of Cheap Tickets and Travel - most widely
known as Cheap Tickets Canda.com - talks about all this and more in his
company's new travel blog on the Cheap Tickets website at
www.CheapTicketsCanada.com.
    "Based on our various client communications, we felt there was a genuine
need for us to create some sort of interactive network to help connect with
our new and existing clients," says Schafer. "Whether you're an armchair or
seasoned traveler, I hope this blog - in conjunction with our photo gallery -
will be a helpful, informative and entertaining source for useful travel news,
updates and tips."
    As an example, Schafer is now embarking on a two-and-a-half month
adventure - with five young children in tow - through the South Pacific. Along
the way, he will share his travel experiences and stories about the
challenges, joys and issues in traveling overseas with a young family.
    Accompanying Schafer on this journey-of-a-lifetime are his wife and five
children - ranging in age between three and 12 years. The family will spend
the first two weeks in the Cook Islands, before heading for Tahiti where they
will spend the remaining two months.
    Schafer explains in an excerpt from his blog: "If everything goes
according to plan, we will leave on February 21st and return on May 9th. As
adventure travelers, we've left many gaps in our plans to allow our journey to
take us down predictable and unpredictable paths. But, not to worry, we are
prepared... we think."
    From traveling on cargo ships through the South Pacific to learning to
live like - and learn from - the locals, Schafer's family travel blog will
cover all the adventure angles and perspectives (his blogging kids will also
offer their own unique insights and stories).
    "We'll continue updating our online travel blog throughout the trip so
our family, friends and clients can read about the adventures we're
experiencing - or about to experience," adds Schafer.
