Last time we went to Scotland and Portugal before that outbound we didn’t have to overnight in Toronto, same on the way back. Sure cuts down cost.Wow, that’s expensive! We pay around CAN$700 per person round trip from here, so around US$500 per person. We do have to overnight in Calgary, though, so that’s another $150 and provide a clean covid test for CAN$250 per person. Even though we are both double vaccinated with a booster shot, as well.
Sorry bout that my northern friends, can't image this way of life many of you have. Being in the southeast I have to deal with ungodly humidity most of the summer. I take three showers a day or each time I come inside for lunch, supper. This is my "free air conditioning , cool, I don t have to pay for and am so much enjoying this. I am able to ride my motorcycle most all winter long. Just a few days each winter when the roads freeze over and are wet from the rain is when we don't ride. Guess most of us just adapt wherever we grow up at and it just the way it is. Our winters here have been so warm I have not cut any wood in three years now.....but I here this one coming will be a great freeze out for us all.........
Wise move.This time worked out sort of O.K.
We had booked tickets to Mazatlan for literally the week that North America shut down due to covid. I didn’t pull our money, thinking Westjet would need it more then me. They issued me a credit on my account. So now that things are open again I rebooked with the credit and it still came in $74 cheaper then before.
We used to fly out of Edmonton or Calgary, and it’s only a four or five hour flight from there. But I hate driving in the winter so now we just fly out of Yellowknife, thus the overnight stay.
She looks like my shop catAnother thing that makes me scratch my head.
Wife and I have five rescue cats. The Canadian cats all curl up and sleep, eat and **** all winter. The cat we rescued from Mazatlan has no problem going outside in the winter and playing in the snow. We have to watch that a fox or lynx doesn’t eat her but she has the shortest fur of all the cats but doesn’t hate the cold. Picture from last winter but she’s outside as I write this.View attachment 1186407
I'm sure where you are going is better than here but no snow for the most part here......but you're welcome any time.****. This will be my view out the front window until May. Gonna get the hell out of here and go to Mexico in two weeks.View attachment 1186343
Heck, even my yard is getting where I don't have to do much now and glad of that!!Hooray! No more lawn mowing, rototilling, chasing moles, weed wacking, leaf blowing or any other landscape work.
I only had to snowblow 2 times last winter. Lots of time to hit the UP with my snowmobile!!
