A number of notable things this week that have cheered me, not least of which, I’ve been feeling much better. It’s been a difficult couple of weeks trying to work out whats going on but, with some adjustment to my diet, and drinking  extra water, things have improved dramatically these last few days. Fingers crossed it stays that way.

The other good news is, the OH was talking about their up coming holiday slot, for work, and asked me what we should do this year. They’re taking the month of July off this year so we can have time together, but also, they get a really long break from a hectic work schedule. So I suggested we do something a little different. We haven’t been able to schedule getting back to Paris for our much hoped for trip. But maybe, we should just do something local.

As in, do a 4-5 day midweek break in Montreal. They have a ton of festivals on during the summer months, and we haven’t been to our sister city in several years. Of course the OH looked at me and said, ‘It will cost almost as much as a trip to Paris.’

Yes, dear reader, this is a fact of life. It will cost almost as much to do a week locally as would a package deal to Paris. Crazy I know. But then, the OH didn’t say no. And so, we’re doing a brainstorming session this weekend to start researching hotels, prices, and what we want to do and see.

Not quite Paris, but hey, I’ll take it. Lots of people from across the planet fly into Montreal for a holiday, so why not us? More on that later.

Oh, and Elisabeth? We didn’t get as much snow as you, but still, it was pretty.
