Ok just 62 days until we sail to Alaska - finally!!!!!
My kids get out of school in two days (they go til end of June and go back the day after Labour Day) so I'm getting a few things done while I still have 'free' time
We've had a bit of a financial gut punch, our air conditioning stopped working; turns out the coils are rusted in the air handler in our attic and the refrigerant all leaked out. The repair is going to cost us around $4,000Canadian And because parts are hard to get (they system was installed when the house was built in 2009, how is that considered old?????) they are coming from the US and will take 3-4 weeks....ugh (they were ordered a week ago). Not fun
This resulted in me cancelling our couples massage and the Tracy Arm (or more likely, Endicott) boat excursion. Those two things together would cost nearly $1000CAD (factoring in the crummy exchange rate) so that seemed very frivilous.
However, besides Palo brunch I also booked us Palo dinner the night the Frozen menu is offered (looked online and I found it rather unappealing) - since it's our wedding anniversary just one week before we board the Wonder I justified the 'extra' Palo dinner since we won't go out on the 21st and instead will dine onboard the Wonder.
I know.....#firstworldproblems.
In other bits and bobs....I booked the dog into the kennel so that's done (now I just need to update her vaccinations in July). FE gifts are almost all completed (the cabin gifts are done I just need a few more tiny things for some of the kids in our group) and I ordered the bags and tags for the cabin gifts this morning from Amazon.
I've been soaking up all the trip reports and photos from the cruises that have gone this year so far. Also on the May long weekend (Victoria Day) we went downtown for the day, took the kids for a picnic lunch at Stanley Park and then drove over to Canada Place to see the Wonder as it had just arrived in Vancouver for the Alaska season.
This summer is going to fly by
