My normal 2 days off fell on Sun/Mon but all we did was clean house and plant some plants on the patio and took the dog for several walks, she loves the sunny days and needs 3-4 walks.

At work several who had today off were disappointed as they wanted to work so they got full holiday pay.

I have to work today but I get next Monday off. I might go fishing for a change. ;)

The pups are heading off on a road trip, Seattle, down the Washington and Oregon Coast down to the Northern tip of Cali and then back inland via Mount Hood, -staying at the Timberline Hotel- the hotel they used for outside shots for the Shining, Mt Rainier and then home. I must be good and not take too many photos. Snoop banned me from getting a drone - probably wise :unsure:

The old joke if you're drinking Rainier beer is that Santa had 8 tiny Rainier.

I'm doing a motorbike trip to Romania in a month, that'll be good and sore on the arse!


September I'm taking my girlfriend on a cruise, we've never done one before. It's a surprise for her so she doesn't know what or where. Going to Italy, Croatia, Greece and Malta. I'm trying to get the last few places I want to see in Europe done before we make the move! Then I'm free to eat myself into a coma on poutine and get eaten by a bear. Go Canada!

Trying to do something with friends and airbnb a cottage for a weekend. Then heading to Malta for 2 weeks at the end of Aug. I got a full time job for the summer at our local hospital in the I.T. department so looking forward to that as well. (I've been there all year as a High School co-op student) :)

We had to cancel our vacation as him indoors had a funny turn and now isn't allowed to drive for a month. I'm a little ball of stressed confusion.

You're a high school student and you're thinking of airbnb. :eek::eek: or having somebody's parents let your group have the family cottage for the weekend?

Whatever happened to camping or sleeping in the car or eurorailing?. Not sure which airbnb will accept a booking from teenagers.

You mentioned it but I think you got away with it all right.

We're not going away in the summer, daughter and grandson coming for a week in August when we have a big anniversary. We will take them to the Island for a couple of days so she can catch up with family friends.

I hate travelling in the summer if we don't have to do so ...... too many darned tourists :rofl: :nod:

I've booked a trip in late October to Quebec City ....... I've never been there so it's one to mark off the bucket list.

Then Christmas on the East Coast.

Some train travel involved on both those trips, of course :lol:

Oh thank you, I appreciate your comment. He's ok, it was a scary time but it's looking good.
