Oh Canada!

Sorry for the silence - I am relocating to Vancouver for a year from May so have been busy sorting out visas in-between writing about Ottawa, the Caribbean and several cruise features for various publications. Good news is that I now have my 12-month working holiday visa for Canada and also have my i-visa for the USA (this just means I can go on press trips there).

Before I head off to my beloved Canada I have some trips to NYC, the Caribbean and the Med, which I'll be writing about on here.

I'm also re-jigging my website at www.amywatkins.com and will be launching a new blog about my life in Canada so watch this space...

Carnival Magic

Here's a recent feature that I wrote about the new cruise ship Carnival Magic.

I've just come back from a holiday in Madeira and before that I spent a week in Canada exploring Vancouver, Whistler and Banff on the Rocky Mountaineer train. Next week I'm off to Canada again to explore the Yukon!
