ITINERARY:
SEPTEMBER 17
Arrive in Winnipeg, stay the night at the Courtyard Mariott to prepare in comfort and get as much rest as possible in anticipation of the adventure ahead.
SEPTEMBER 18
No roads lead to Churchill, so on September 18th, we will fly together from Winnipeg to Churchill. After arrival in Churchill, we'll do a tour of the area. Churchill is a unique frontier town on the edge of the Arctic with a fascinating cultural history and some interesting sights to see. After a tour, we will head out onto the tundra to begin our polar bear search in earnest.
SEPTEMBER 19
We'll wake up and devour breakfast and coffee. Once we’re sufficiently fed and caffeinated, it's all polar bears all day. We’ll cruise the tundra looking for the best photo opportunities. Wildlife is never guaranteed, but in Churchill, our chances are pretty dang good, to say the least. Once the light fades and the day comes to an end, we’ll unwind with some yoga led by an awesome Churchill local. Dinner to follow of course.
SEPTEMBER 20
Another day. We’ll get back out onto the tundra for more time with polar bears. How freaking cool is that?? Once the light fades and the day comes to an end, we’ll meet up with local Knowledge Keepers to learn more about the incredible place which we’re exploring.
SEPTEMBER 21
You guessed it. Polar bears. Fall colors. All day bay bay!!
SEPTEMBER 22
Must I say it? I bet you can guess what today will hold…… POLAR BEARS. FALL COLORS. What more could you ask for??
SEPTEMBER 23
By now, our memory cards are full. Our faces hurt from smiling so much. We’ve seen polar bears. We’ve seen fall colors. We’ve seen polar bears among the fall colors. We’ll spend the morning tying up loose ends in town (aka last-minute souvenir shopping) and then we fly together back to Winnipeg where we’ll check back into the Courtyard Marriott for the night.
SEPTEMBER 24
Fly on back home, each bringing with us tons of memories and photos of POLAR BEARS AND FREAKIN FALL COLORS that will last a lifetime. Until next time my friends! And yes… there will be a next time.
