Our staff and their families really do love Liscombe Lodge! We have 5 sister properties in Atlantic Canada and we see a lot of the staff here each year.
The most recent visit was by Jennifer and her beautiful family. Jennifer is an Executive Meeting Manager at the Westin Nova Scotian. Jennifer, her hubby Dave, and their 2 gorgeous children, Kayleigh and Abigail, spent 4 wonderful days at Liscombe as part of their 2 week vacation!
A 2 week vacation may seem common to you, but to them, it certainly isn’t. Working in the hospitality industry means long hours and crazy shifts. 2 days off in a row are reserved only for select positions. Jenn’s husband Dave is a chef and he usually only gets 1 day off a week-if that. Not to mention work days are always longer than 8 hours. The family has not been together for a vacation like this since their last child was born. That was 2 years ago!!
We asked Jenn what her favorite parts of the trip were -she had a few. The best part was being able to spend time together as a family. Not being able to do that is the norm for today’s family. Her other favorite part was not having to leave the property. When planning a trip we always try to fill our days with activities and road trips. Not at Liscombe. You park your car here and you don’t have to move. She loved the fact that there were so many activities on property. She also enjoyed the birds- they are everywhere! Her daughters got binoculars on their scavenger hunt and they used them to look for birds (and bugs). The recreation program was excellent. There was always something for the girls to do. Jeanette took great care of them.
