Barbara Jane Buck
Over the more than 36 years that I have been involved in agritourism, my beautiful wife and best friend Barbara, has been beside me. During Covid we survived years of isolation, no tour groups, limited access to family members, isolation, but we had each other and our family.
Hopefully, you were lucky enough to share this time with your spouse, a girlfriend, family...
When Covid started to lose its grip, we let down our guard, tried to relearn how to be normal. Many of you did the same.
Barbara and I went on a Baltic Cruise, amazing - Putin be damned, we visited Finland, Estonia, Sweden, Germany and Denmark. Random Covid checked at airport in Toronto, Barb checked positive for Covid, me too. Five Covid vaccinations saved our lives.
A few months later Barbara developed symptoms that were not Covid related, diagnosis - cancer. My sweetheart of over 48 years was in a fight that nobody should have to fight.
April 12th, 2023, pneumonia complications and the cancer, took her from us, but on her terms. She said goodbye to all her family, lovingly, gently, firmly and bravely, with great dignity.
This is my tribute to Barbara Jane Buck, my moral compass, the love of my life - my sweetheart.

It has been a long road for all of us, but AgriTours Canada, like many other businesses, is beginning the journey of rebuilding.

Travel Advice on cruising, things you should know before choosing a cruise company.
My first recommendation if you have never cruised before is to contact a licensed travel agency or cruise specialty company. This will provide you with a couple of key elements in your travel planning that will help you select an appropriate cruise and prepare you for the things you need to do before cruising, while you are cruising and when you finish your cruise.
If you have cruised before, you know that booking with an experienced agent can help you find the best deals through the CRT booking systems available only to travel agencies. If you are new to cruising, this use of expertise from a travel agency can help you avoid some unknown pitfalls, and help insure that your first cruise will not be your last cruise. Booking direct is your other option and for the cruise component, this can also have some advantages you can take advantage of before you travel.
