March break is here and for many families, that means a trip across the border for a quick vacation or journey to visit family. In fact, one in four Canadians plan to escape winter by taking a trip down south. I love popping down to the United States for a few days of shopping, entertainment or sight-seeing, but I also want to share those moments with family and friends back home. Unfortunately, as soon as we cross the border, high charges for data, calls and texts have me avoiding using my phone at all if possible!
That’s why the Travel Passes from TELUS are so exciting to me. I have an amazing TELUS plan that offers me unlimited Canada-wide calling and texting as well as 4GB of data, more than I’ve ever needed in a month. But crossing into the United States means that the prices for all those phone uses goes up significantly. Now, luckily for me, a TELUS Travel Pass lets me make calls, text and use my data for as little as $25 per trip so that I can still use my phone even when I’m in another country.

We don’t have a trip planned yet, but I would love to go to NewFoundland to visit my friend. I hear it’s beautiful out there. It is hard to make plans with two little kids. We went to Denmark when my daughter was 18 months old and it was the worst flight ever! 5 hours of non stop screaming as she was tired but refused to sleep! We are scared to plan another trip right now!

Hi there. For our first and next family trip we are headed out to my husband’s home land, England. We want our little one to meet his Great-Grandmother out there. I want my husband to show me where he grew up and the places where all the stories he told me happened. It almost brings tears to my eyes just thinking about how excited I am!
While we are in the area we are going to check out France and a few other places along the way. Having a tablet would let us keep on track of our trip schedule. We will be taking trains from place to place with our son so not only can he play with the tablet, but mommy and daddy can escape to relax and read also.
