Default That's it we're leaving!!!!

Woke up to Ottawa type weather here in Calgary this morning not forecasted at all, now they're saying up to 15cm possible, 30cm northeast of here.

Mrs_P is packing right now and we are out here first thing tomorrow morning.

WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH!!!

Of winter that is and we are headed for three weeks in Hawaii.

Pictures taken 30 minutes ago, no sign of it letting up.

There's a tsunami forecast for next Thursday afternoon on Oahu. Don't forget to pack the water-wings.

You won't like it Steve. Best to stay in Calgary. It'll be spring soon (OK, maybe by June).

Come to Toronto, it's gorgeous here. Due to reach about 14 today, relatively clear and warm. Nice.

Thanks everyone.

We are really looking forward to this trip.

We are going with our best friends and while on this trip we will be celebrating our 39th wedding anniversary (Saturday) and mine and Mrs_P's birthdays.

The camera is almost packed the bags are filling up and the cab comes to take us to the airport at 4:00am tomorrow morning.

Cheers
Steve
