Micheal, that would be really, really nice! Oh, by the way, I hear you owe me a fridge magnet?

Mexico…Ontario…Mexico…Ontario…Mexico…Mexico…Ontario…
Mexico…Mexico…Mexico…Mexico……………..Ontario.

I know, we’d rather go to Mexico (or somewhere with an ocean and beach) than Ontario too!

I wonder if Air North shouldn’t start looking at direct weekly flights to Toronto and Ottawa…

Geoff: Yikes, the expense and hassle is crazy. My mom came for a recent visit, it was her first time flying, and she’s 63. She had to connect in Toronto and in Vancouver, Canada’s two busiest airports. Everything that could go wrong, well, went wrong. Delayed take-offs, missed connections, lost luggage, and late arrivals. All, of course, with AC.
When my husband and I travel to visit my folks, it’s $3000, and we don’t have kids! It’s cheaper for us to travel from Whitehorse to France or Mexico than to go home. How crazy is that?

Fawn: Gotcha!

If I never had to fly Air Canada again, I (and our family) would be very happy. Traveling 10+ hours with two young kids across the country is hard enough but Air Canada seems to do everything they can to make it an even more painful experience, including overly complex luggage transfers, seating us in different rows and mis-matched connecting times, not to mention close to $7,000 in ticket fees.
