What You Can Learn From Cartier Mansion

1. Planned Experience – these are either volunteer experiences with entities such as Habitat for Humanity or adventures arranged by the innkeepers. One opportunity is to serve as a Lighthouse Keeper.
2. The Ken Burns effect on their website. They are using the easiest cheapest video you’ll ever get. Their photos are made to look like videos but they aren’t. What seems like a great-looking video can be made from a single one of your photos by adding a pan and zoom effect. This is known as the Ken Burns effect. It’s also called “animatics” and is used in motion picture production from a still photograph.

New Trends That Are Real

1. Savoring the NOW – In 2022 many people will finally book those meaningful, once-in-a-lifetime trips. Travelers are taking action to make their travel dreams come true: whether they’re staying close to home or biking across the country they are valuing the present.
2. Friendcations – Smiles, memories, adventures created with friends. Researchers say strong social relationships are the key to happiness. If we didn’t know that before 2020, we know it now. So, no surprise that 2022 is gearing up to be the year of grand in-person reunions. For instance, Big Cottages reported a 600% rise in bookings for groups of over 20 people. Group travel is going to feel safer and easier with vaccination cards, etc.
3. Active Ecotourism – Inns such as the Cartier Mansion are making efforts to help travelers add purposeful elements to their travelers – such as helping with Habitat for Humanity so that their spending goes directly towards the local people and places they visit. In-destination activities with locals will grow in popularity this year and beyond.

Everything was clean and the accommodations were so lovely. Wine and sodas were waiting for us in our refrigerator when we arrived.

How to Make Cranberry Meatballs

Here’s what you need to make this recipe: frozen meatballs, cranberry sauce, chili sauce, orange juice, and brown sugar. That’s it!!. I like to use turkey meatballs because turkey and cranberry is a classic combination that can’t be beat. Not to mention, turkey meatballs tend to be a little lighter than their beef and pork counterparts, so you won’t fill up too much before the main course. I use a jellied cranberry sauce because I like a smooth sauce for my meatballs, but you could use a whole berry sauce if you prefer.

Ingredients:

1 two-lb bag frozen pre-cooked meatballs I recommend turkey meatballs

1 12 ounce bottle chili sauce

1 14 ounce can jellied cranberry sauce

2 tablespoons orange juice

1 tablespoon brown sugar

optional: 1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Here’s another recipe – even easier
