Photos in the slideshow were captured by Melanie Steeves of Toppline Design Photography on our "Fun" Trips" as we traveled the world over the past 25+ years.
is proud to announce that we are celebrating our
25th Anniversary in 2025.
After raising 3 children Marlene went back to school, successfully completed her college studies and earned her Travel & Tourism Diploma in October 1997. Within the next 3 years she was determined to complete 3 goals. Obtain her CTC designation (Certified Travel Counsellor) and MCC designation (Master Cruise Counsellor) then open her own Travel Agency. These were all achieved by the end of October 2000. With part-time help from Bill, who had a full time job and a farm to run, and in later years with part-time help from Melanie, our daughter and her husband Ed Steeves, Topplane Travel has thrived for 25 years. We never dreamed that we would have planned and escorted so many trips, with so many wonderful people, to so many exciting destinations. What an amazing journey it has been from the first bus trip to the Ohio Amish country to the most recent trip this past August to Iceland. We have travelled all over the world. What an adventure the past 25 years has been!
Please follow our story of the last 25 years on our website. Over the next year, we will be telling you stories about Topplane Travel and some of the journeys we have had. We will also have information about some of the future adventures we are planning. We are not done yet. There are still many places that we would love to travel to. So please, come along with us and experience one of our future Topplane Travel “Fun Trips”.
Thank you everyone, to the many friends who made the last 25 years for Topplane Travel so memorable! We would also like to remember the wonderful friends who shared our travels but are no longer with us. What great memories we have!
