Re: Canadian-/US-made car seat for Air Transat flight

After one LONG flight with an afternoon departure, we always booked night flights from then on. Worked like a charm every time. Even if it meant a long layover, it was worth it for snoring kids in...

Re: Canadian-/US-made car seat for Air Transat flight

Never flown Transat. Maybe that's a good thing. :p

Even still, it takes about two minutes to install, so it's not an inconvenience to anyone.

Re: Canadian-/US-made car seat for Air Transat flight

If it's been installed correctly, it doesn't affect them using their tray table. I've used it on multiple flights without any issues. Installing it, you drop their table, slip it over the seat,...

I have to get back into swimming, but like Sparkles said, I think the last time I actually did fitness swimming was oh, a decade or more ago. :o I remember getting lapped in the pool by 60 and 70...

Re: Travelling with infant to oz

Re: Winter Endeth...

Just wait. You have to have the obligatory frost and wet snow during the Victoria Day weekend after everyone has enthusiastically put in all of their bedding plants.

Re: First week in Canada so far! (SK)

OMG Ituna. Regina will seem a metropolis in comparison. :D I drove through Ituna once when I was doing my fieldwork in Fort Qu'Appelle.

If you can get a decent summer (minus the crazy humidex,...

Re: Canadian-/US-made car seat for Air Transat flight

Another vote for the CARES harness. I've used it a number of times without any problem from the airlines. The only question I had about it was one flight attendant who asked me to demonstrate how...

Re: Why does Australia Post like damaging my stuff so much?

We've had this happen too. I think the redirection thing is iffy at best. We tried to let everyone know our new address from the outset, but there's always one or two that don't get changed. I can't...

Re: Australia better than Canada?

Yup, that looks like it. Edmonton had snow in the forecast for this weekend too. Oh and 60% chance of flurries for Fri the 26th of April.

Re: Why does Australia Post like damaging my stuff so much?

I think I posted about this when it happened two years ago, but to recap...I ordered some books through Amazon. They had tracking and made it through customs but then mysteriously vanished. No...

Re: Australia better than Canada?

We had good jobs. Smaller mortgage. Family close by. Content enough. But we looked around and said, "Wow, Edmonton. Is this it for life then?"

Re: Hotel in Edmonton

I agree with Chris Ban then, you should be able to find something around the airport that fits your budget and has the shuttle. If not, south Edmonton has a couple of options, if I recall.

Re: Hotel in Edmonton

The Via Rail Station's off the Yellowhead, right?

What's your budget on hotels? I don't think there's much close by, downtown would be the best bets.

Re: Australia better than Canada?

Surely our Canadian accents must be equally awful. :p

The first sentence shows that you've become more Canadian than you'd previously realized. ;) Quick, leave now, it may be reversible. :rofl:

Yeah, they're all getting to the end of the tether now with the snow just starting to melt. The posts on fb from frustrated Albertans have been amusing. "Where is spring already OMFG...aaaaaargh"...
