Well, I am thinking about a little trip to the US this fall if all is well.
We’ll go to a sunny destination – probably Laughlin again. We found the place to be very friendly, small enough to walk around a bit and relax by their river. Really enjoyed the river day tours last time. Love, love, love shopping in the States – I am a bad Canadian.

First we have to make it thru summer. When I asked Dr. Specialist about flying to Nova Scotia this summer, he saw no problem himself – just have to decide how I think it will work. The flight is the only problem – and that’s a major time factor. If we depart Vancouver, we can get a non-stop direct instead of changing planes in Calgary or Toronto – that would def. help to not scramble to gates.

A bit of good news – my bro phoned today and wants us to visit Vancouver for a week or two. Now that is very much to my liking – I love the city. Both our sons and our lovely daughter in law and many friends are there – we’d be so busy.

We could spend time at the ocean and shop til we drop. Actually, N&D’s place is walking distance to a large shopping center, thank you, thank you!

I have a large garden but my neighbor could eat from it and also, S&R, when they come out to ck the house.

There’s so much we could do being retired – better stop right here with that thought before I get whining about it.

    Coming to the US…I forget you’re in a “foreign” country…LOL. I hope that plans work out well for you to do that. Your dollars will go much further than in older days, huh.

    I remember when I went to Montreal, enjoying the bargains that I got.

    I was thinking the same thing Beverly commented. You will love the bargain shopping with Canadian dollar exchange. Sounds so good to have some plans and fun ahead. We’re going to have a busy summer ourselves, and it is looking crazy already. I love the prospect of a getaway in the fall for us. Love, A

    Yes, the $ exchange will be a treat – we used to still go 4 times a year for a getaway. We had .65 dollar then and people teased us about the rate.
    I’m so glad we went. used to buy stuff at terrific prices so probably didn’t do too badly. Plus, you guys have wonderful stuff I can’t get here!
