Cool Canada

Our plans for the Disney World trip in January are pretty much finalized. We are looking forward to this vacation very much since this is the longest we have ever gone without a vacation. Another vacation I would really like to take with the whole family is one to Quebec, Canada. All the relatives on my mom's side of the family still live there and while I have visited every five years or so, my husband and children have never been there or met any of those relatives.

There are many holiday offers on flights to Canada, including flights to Toronto and Vancouver through DialAFlight. They are a leading UK travel agency with offers on cheap flights, hotel, car rental. Holidays to Canada are one of their specialties and they will take care of all the details for you with one phone call to a knowledgeable DialAFlight agent.

My family living in Montreal is fairly large, and I have about twenty first cousins, some I have never even met and others that I haven't seen since I was a child. Plus, they have children of their own now, so we would have plenty of people to catch up with if we took a Canada vacation. Our children would enjoy meeting relatives their own age and hearing them speak French. Maybe one summer, when it is very hot here in late July or August, we could cool off by traveling north to Canada. I'll add it to my future goals list...

Travel and all that jazz

My mom just told me that she is planning to come visit at the end of May / early June and is hoping to attend my daughter's Kindergarten graduation as well as the tail end of the May Festival of the Arts. I was glad to hear of her plans, since we had an argument around Christmas and she mentioned that she may not come visit us here again.

I figure, since we moved to a new place our relatives would want to come visit here rather than us going back to Colorado and seeing all the same things. Don't get me wrong, it is great to be able to see all our friends and relatives when we visit Colorado. But it is very exhausting and the kids are still very young. When you travel with kids, there is so much more gear involved and extra stops along the way if you drive. I think it is just easier for the grandparents, aunts, and uncles to visit us - since they are all adults and can handle travel easier. Plus a change of scenery is nice once in awhile.
