We were preparing to leave the house Christmas morning when Brian checked the flights: we had a connector flight to Calgary to catch the flight to Mexico. The connector was delayed by four hours! The really great West Jet guy asked if we could drive to the Calgary airport to catch the flight – if yes, WJ would cover our gas and parking. Off we were – three kids in the backseat of the Accord and by the Edmonton airport they had regressed by 10 years of age (“stop touching me!”). We were the last to check in but made it in enough time. All good.
Mexico was lovely. We stayed at Villa Marina which is a gated community, about 6 minutes walk from a fabulous surfing beach that is rarely very busy. The weather was mostly terrific (one rainy day) and 25-30C with a breeze is a very nice temperature. The girls got the requisite sunburns and Alex a war wound boogie boarding. We feel very blessed being able to go away when it was dropping to –34C here!
