Re: Who's going where at Christmas?
2 hours to Philly, then 6 hours to Manchester. No biggy.
It's just as quick/long to fly Halifax to London, then on to Manchester.
I took this route because it was the quickest AND cheapest.
I flew Halifax to Heathrow in September by myself, but then had to faff around on the tube and then a train to Manchester. Dont really want to do that again with a wife, 2 kids and 4 suitcases.

We'll be be staying in Vancouver this for the festive season. The Hotel Vancouver are doing a Dickens Holiday Luncheon which I may check out. "Inspired by magnificent 19th century English feasts, it’s a culinary extravaganza that includes a boar’s head procession, a visit by Santa and the live sounds of Dal Richards and his orchestra."

So would this be the "please rob my house" thread for those with numerous facebook followers?

I hope you didn't let any thieves into Canada? There can't be any home-grown ones, the kids are all too polite and respectful...

I'm leaving the frozen north on Mon 19th, heading down to Calgary, then out to the UK on Tuesday evening, arriving back in lovely Norfolk on 21st.
Three weeks at home over Christmas and New Year... walks in the fields, crackling log fires, real ale in the pub... love it.
Anyone else going anywhere nice - or not so nice - over the festive period?

Re: Who's going where at Christmas?
Am looking forward to a week at home, a week off work, eating tons of Lindt, and shovelling my driveway 6 times.
Am looking forward to watching kids rip open too many presents and potentially heading out to various friends, and possibly the slopes during the time off.
Am looking forward to two parties, two other get-togethers and copious amounts of vino collapso with anyone else who wants to pop by.
Am planning a UK trip for February.

My 12 year old is flying back to the UK on Saturday to spend Christmas with his father
Otherwise it'll be a quiet one and without him I actually keep thinking "roll on January"
Sorry bah humbug!

I simply cannot justify the air fares... the ticket prices look OK until you get to "checkout"... when "taxes, fees" etc. have been added, the cost way more than doubles. For a family of four it just isn't worth it at this time of the year.
Still, enjoy yourself, you lucky.....
