Ever since a restaurant and a coffee shop went into the commercial spaces below the residential units, the building has had a problematic mouse problem, the strata is spending pretty decent coin on pest control, but damn mice seem to be unstoppable.

Getting quite sick it seems, if not better by Tuesday will need to cancel my trip home, can't travel while ill.

Would be fun to have a job where one could fly alot.

Currently on an airplane. Lucked out and got the whole row to myself.

Downside to first row of coach, no TV screens like the other rows have but a ton of leg room.

I think there's a vacancy for Superman.

A row to yourself, leg room...what downside? ;)

I don't like TV on a plane. Too many interruptions.

It was a good flight. Delta and the comfort plus rows are pretty good for leg room. Costs a bit extra but well worth it.

I was thinking more along the lines of flying in planes so not sure superman will work lol

I assume you aren't sick anymore since you're taking the trip. Keep us posted, pics, etc... you know, "Having a wonderful time, wish you were here." :lol:

How is this for a sketchy and untidy house. I hope the real estate agent isn't getting the normal commission for this. Maybe shovelling the driveway would be a good start.

Have a wonderful time! :)
Glad you were well enough to at least get the flight - and that the snow didn't stop you!
:D

luckily the snow held off. Both flights left the gate early although it took 40 mins to get off the ground in Seattle. Busy busy airport.

My driveway’s nothing like that...my driveway could host an Olympic Luge team...so perfect and glacial is the ice tonight! :blink:

Oh PD if you think that house is untidy and messy I’m glad my house isn’t under your scrutiny...the joy of the web, nobody knows I’m not a goddess of all things domestic! :rofl:

Rather cheaper than I thought it would be in Ottawa too?

Kind of regretting booking Air Canada for my return. Going back to Feb 6 to today the flight has been 1 to 3 hours late departing everyday but the 6th.

That is some poor performance.

How do Air Canada's on time performance and airfare costs stack up against other airlines flying your route?

Only other airline doing it non-stop is Westjet and in the same time frame since Feb 6th they have certainly performed better.
​

Fare wise all the fares were competitive between AC and Westjet and Delta and Alaska with the last 2 having connections. (normally I book connections so I can get 2 flights) I only booked AC as they have a 737 Max on the route.

Its not a huge issue, just surprised how bad that flight is performing.
