It’s expensive to fly within Canada. I’ve priced it out myself, and at certain times of year you can fly to Europe for less than it costs to get you to Manitoba, just one province over. Ridiculous. So…..I felt it my civic duty to let you in on a short-lived secret. WestJet is having a seat sale! 50% off flights within Canada that must be booked today and need be used on or before February 28th (read the fine print).
Oh, and the tvs in the back of the seats on Westjet flights are genius. Everytime I’m on an Air Canada flight, I end up with the WORST movie selection. The last time I was forced to watch Dreamer. Thanks, but I’m not 6. And the time before that I would have been able to watch The Polar Express had the screens been working, but instead we had no in-flight entertainment other than the riveting Air Canada magazine that was supposed to keep my mind off the rock hard temporary “seat” that I was assigned. Air Canada bites. Hard. So. Go book your WestJet flight now. Do it. Go somewhere. Explore Canada. Tell them I say hello.

Ah, Dreamer. Nothing is more entertaining than a horse movie featuring a pint-sized scallywag who melts the heart of a cynical man no longer in his prime. Okay, I confess, I haven’t seen it, but that (based on the artwork) is what I imagine Dreamer to be about. Nothing beats the boredom of being subjected a bus ride with a Benji movie on a bus on mute.       We were exhausted when we got back on Tuesday, and couldn’t even muster up energy to write about it Wednesday. And so here it is Thursday and we’re writing about our weekend in Vegas. I’m not the first one to say it, but Las Vegas is bizarre. The Eiffel Tower, the Statue of Liberty, the Pyramids of Giza, and Camelot, all within walking distance of each other. Attraction and activities to shake maximum dollars out of every visitors pockets. Superlative on top of superlative. Needless to say – we had fun 🙂 Highlights:
Some pics of the action:
November 5th was Sonja Lasagna’s birthday. I did not wish her a happy day. I’m a bad friend. I blame it partially on my pregnancy brain, partially on the fact that we weren’t in the country and partially on Sonja’s fiance not reminding us. And since two of those options are my fault, I’ll choose to have Contributor Mark shoulder the blame on my behalf. So here it is…a belated but well-intentioned birthday wish. I hope you’ll forgive my tardiness. The birthday girl at her finest:

You’re going to feel even worse – my birthday is actually November 6th. Ha! 😉 Ah, don’t worry I except the baby brain/I was confused by the bright lights of the city of Sin excuse. My dad’s birthday is November 5th and Mark’s Dad is November 8th so really, I’ve been celebrating all week. Thanks for the bday wishes!!!

Ha ha ha ha…oops. I’ll blame Mark for that one too. Not that he had anything to do with it, but it makes me feel better about being so forgetful.

I was going to remind you, then we thought it’d be fun to see how long it’d be before you remembered. It was a team decision.
November 9, 2006 - 11:45 am
Mean. Both of you.
November 9, 2006 - 1:23 pm
That decision was made yesterday so don’t think Mark was going to give you some kind of heads-up before or even on the appropriate day.

We should run a caption contest on what Sonja and Mark are thinking in that last one. I’ll start it off: Sonja: “That jujube I just ate was neither ju nor jube. Ew.”

dan, you’re at least 50% correct. Like you weren’t expecting this to happen.

SHOCKING! What a mess. It’s quite sad actually that KFed has 4 kids and 2 divorces. How was Vegas?????

I’m looking forward to her comeback so she can knock Fergie off her pedestal. Her songs are worse than a paris hilton pussy-cat dolls duet. |

In case anyone hasn’t flown this airline before, I should let you know that it may be your best flight experience ever. There is no guarantee, of course, that all will flow smoothly, but after having flown WestJet to Vegas and back, I’m an airline convert. Our last 6 return flights or so have been on Air Canada and thay have been disasterous.
