I wouldn't go through Toronto if the other choice was Minneapolis. Minneapolis is quite a nice airport.

Having departed Canada, living in England, and temporarily residing in rural France.

I shall be getting drunk and raising a toast to my recently deceased Mother. Who will no doubt be passing comments from her nearby urn. I shall cook lunch for my Father and think about the crappiest year in my life.

Anyone want to join me? Bah humbug

Rock on 2012 when I will be back in England, and failing a certain Mayan forecast planning a better year.

Does that get me the prize for the most depressing post... Lol

Re: Who's going where at Christmas?
 

Price played a part - along with flight times, length of drive and also wanting to try out a different route.
We've previously done Dryden to Winnipeg to Toronto to Heathrow and the total time of that trip was about 22hrs with layovers etc. Getting a decent connection at a sensible price seems to be a black art.
It's one of the prices we pay for living where we do.

Probably not a white Christmas. I'm glad I didn't hire a snow contractor.

Re: Who's going where at Christmas?
 

Hope you don't get snowed in in Devon like we did this time last year. It was so bad we thought we'd never actually make it to Heathrow :ohmy:

In fact there was more snow there than we currently have in Airdrie, lol

Re: Who's going where at Christmas?
 

you guessed that correctly, ... I needed a break from NS ... it's in France but where I am now is even more remote than the village in NS I usually live and I didn't think that could be possible :rofl:

Re: Who's going where at Christmas?
 

We will mostly be staying at home. I'll be wrangling the two-and-three-quarter year old whilst the Mrs gets increasingly impatient for the arrival of Small AX #2 somewhere in the middle of next month. She'll be eating for two. I'll be drinking for two.;)
