KEVIN! But he moved out Kingston way to be closer to his daughter. But maybe….welcome to the forum Kevin! Ever live by Dundas and Mavis???

I much prefer more snow over the brutal cold.

Yup...seeing lots of roofs with so many sides/edges/slopes that it's got to be a nightmare to do. Ours is simple....2 roofs with fairly small slopes. Time to start saving.

Small warmup and lots of rain in the forecast this week...should help to start clearing the streets of the grit and salt.

Agreed. Even some US models can't come to our roads because of slight differences in standards. Been a while since I looked into it but last I checked it was daytime running lights, and some higher speed impacts to the bumpers slightly over the US standards. Mind you it's been a long time...

My buddy’s boss has a few condos down there. Buddy is going in a week on company dime and just has to pay his wife’s air ticket. I’m in the wrong business.

I’ll be good. I learned my lesson with some members….

Never considered a cruise in all honesty. Listened to a news bit yesterday where due to Cuba being closed, west coast of MX being ‘dangerous’ all the other destinations this season have gone through the roof to meet the demand. Many more families choosing cruises. May be something to consider.

Good point. I’d say no more than a 6hr flight with a budget of 8-10k. Seems the budget is growing every year. This year we came close to 8k. 2 years ago was 6k. Kids aren’t free any more.

We’ve heard that DR isn’t all that inviting to Canadians unless they speak Spanish. Handful of friends said the staff would literally ignore them and go only toward Spanish / French speaking tourists and ignore the English speakers. But….could just be the tourists weren’t good to them. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm typing this as we wait for our shuttle back home from Cancun and we can't help but wonder where to go next year as we make sacrifices annually to save for the next trip (i.e.: we start saving the week we return and put money away so we pay cash and not credit). Where are some general...
