Alas! The time has come for my longgggggggg awaited winter break. And I can say with certainty how badly I need a break from winter!
Here in very cold Canada, it feels as though we’ve been living in the frozen tundra for over two months now. Sure, people joke about Canada and the cold, but this kind of cold is NOT even the kind we grew up used to here – the usual 20 degrees F to zero. But these minus 20 and 30 temps for weeks on end are something I never signed up for as a Canadian. 🤣😂 I can’t recall going anywhere in winters past that required myself dressing for the Arctic every time I have to run out for an errand – just in and out of the car turns my legs into frozen blocks after mere seconds.
But this frostmare will be ending real soon! This will be my last post until April. I’m preparing for the summer temps I’ll be feeling in a few day’s time. My Canadian winter friends are already in Puerto Vallarta sending me messages and pics of some of our gang who are fortunate enough to already be there. I can’t wait!
As you can well imagine, there will be stories galore as always upon my return to blogland. This vacay is going to be so action-packed, I may need a vacation after my vacation. Lol. This year, my friend, children’s author, Cheryl Spears, will be joining me for the first leg of my trip, along with my very close friend Za and her husband will be flying down as well and staying in our hotel, because they need a break from the deep freeze. So many friends guarantees another amazing time. After the hotel holiday, I’ll be moving into my old homestead next door, the Grand Venetian, staying again with my good friends, Liz and Grant.
Don’t forget the Tshirt! Yes, it was last year that our friend Kevin who works in corporate for Vista Print, announced that it’s time we all had a club Tshirt, and one we are all going to wear at the Canadian karaoke dive bar we discovered last year. And he was kind enough to have them all delivered to us – so he didn’t have to use half his suitcase to bring them all.
I love the image. The Grand Venetian is the condo complex where we all stay and became friends at. Featuring the most important artifacts of both Canada and Mexico – hockey and margaritas! Lolol.
