Customised Canadian (Ontario) License Plates

I like this one, thought I’d do a little note about it (share it with la familia). My cousin was given these as a gift for her recent 30th birthday. Nothing like a taste of home, even if you are 3,000 odd miles away. Which reminds me… flights priced up, dates pretty much sorted, just…

Almost forgot to add….

…I just had to treat myself. I don’t even mind the US keyboard layout (seen as my natural keyboard wound up a US version when I ordered it on eBay a few months back). When its priced at around EUR 1300 and not EUR 2100, you can’t very well leave it there now can you?…

Canada: Back On Home Soil

I miss the place already, have to say the time I had there in the last 8/9 days exceeded any original expectations by a mile and more. Flight back was a bit rough around the edges, awful lot of turbulence but “have iPod, will sleep” was my motto getting on board, that and the glass…

Canada: So The Maple Leafs Lost

One full day in Canada behind me and it was some day. The gourmet food and wine expo was fantastic. I was there around two hours, you paid for your entrance and then bought “sample tickets” (with the average sample – glass of wine, glass of beer, plate of food) costing you two “tickets”. So…

Canada: We’ve Landed

After a near 7 hour flight we touched down in Toronto around 4am Irish time. Of course, typical airport style we were waiting well over an hour for the bags to get off the belt and out onto the concourse. Great flight all the same, have to hand it to Zoom airlines, they kept everyone…
