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

Vancouver, BC / February 2007 – 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 Canada.com website.

"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.
