  • Summary

  • “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I — I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.” – Robert Frost Guest Introduction: Welcome to Exploring the Seasons of Life: Travel Edition. I’m Cindy MacMillan, your host and the owner of Pangea World Travel Agency, a boutique agency located on the Space Coast of Florida. As I record this episode on January 6, 2025, we’ve just celebrated the holidays—but let me tell you, now is the perfect time to start dreaming about next year’s festive season. Why? Because magical winter getaways don’t just happen; they’re planned. Picture this: a holiday wonderland brought to life with twinkling lights and the sweet scent of mulled wine in the air. Join us for an unforgettable trip to the Christmas Markets of Montreal and Quebec City, happening December 3rd–9th, 2025. This experience is perfect for friends and empty nesters who want to blend nostalgia with the enchantment of holiday magic. So settle in and let’s start planning a journey that will fill your heart with joy and your holidays with unforgettable memories. Travel isn’t just about where you go—it’s about who you become along the way. Here’s a glimpse of our conversation: Now, it’s my pleasure to introduce today’s guest, Kim Foy 1:31 I've been working with Collette for 15 years, and it has been an incredible journey. I started as a tour manager, a role I absolutely loved because travel has always been such an important part of my life. About eight years ago, I decided to return to my roots in sales and became the Business Development Manager for Central Florida. In this role, I continue to help people explore the world. 2:10 Collette is a family-owned and operated company with deep roots in the travel industry. As the oldest tour operator in the United States, we've been continuously operating for 107 years, offering exceptional travel experiences. 6:29 This is a two-city tour featuring Quebec City and Montreal, two destinations that offer a charming, European-like atmosphere right here in North America. It's a fantastic way to experience the magic of Christmas markets without needing to travel all the way to Germany or across the Atlantic. 9:45 The beauty of this trip is that all travelers need to do is pack their suitcase—Collette takes care of the rest. We provide all the essential information to make the journey seamless. The tour manager plays a vital role as a leader, facilitator, and even a friend. They're there to assist with any concerns, such as mobility issues, and can address them discreetly to ensure everyone has a comfortable and enjoyable experience. 13:04 The transportation provided is always a deluxe motor coach, allowing you to sit back, relax, and take in the beautiful scenery without the stress of driving or parking. Since this tour includes just two destinations, you'll enjoy multiple-night stays in each hotel, giving you plenty of time to settle in and fully experience each location. 25:52 First and foremost, make sure you have a valid passport—it’s an essential investment for any traveler. When planning your journey, working with a reputable company like Collette or a trusted travel advisor, like yourself, ensures a smooth and worry-free experience. It's similar to relying on a specialized doctor or attorney—you can place your trust in their expertise and guidance I want to share an exciting opportunity! On January 23rd at 2:00 PM Eastern, Kim and I, both based in Florida, will be hosting a Christmas Markets of Montreal and Quebec City Zoom session. We’ll cover much of the same information but in greater depth, featuring beautiful photos and additional details to inspire your journey. To join, simply email me at cindy@pangeaworldtravelagency.com, and I'll send you the Zoom link. Please note, you’ll need to sign up in advance. Additionally, mark your calendar for an in-person meeting about the Christmas Markets of Montreal and Quebec City on February 12th at 1:00 PM Eastern. We can't wait to connect with you and share more about this incredible experience!
