It\u2019s like winter also wants to enjoy spring, making itself at home in this season as if it were a cat stretching and clinging onto that moment of pure bliss.<\/p>\n<p>As the days grow longer and the snow melts ever so slowly, I can&#8217;t help but feel restless. While the ice covering the Saint-Lawrence River persists, the BIRCHGLEN ship, which spent winter by our side, is getting ready to leave for its summer journeys. I have only one idea in mind, and it\u2019s to board that ship.<\/p>\n<p>As we celebrate the arrival of spring, we are happy to offer you an issue of The Porthole focused entirely on travelling.
